It emphasizes the difference in culture, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and age of a certain group of people. It is about creating a fairer society where everybody will be able to participate and has an opportunity to fulfil their potential. Individual and group diversity needs to be considered in order to ensure that everybody’s needs and requirements are understood and responded to e.g. development of flexibility in working practices and services. Another example of diversity in a setting where you invariably have children of different culture, race, religion etc, is whereby you teach and encourage the children to respect and embrace differences from other people in a positive way regardless of how they look or talk. And you as a practitioner need to respect the children and their family as well regardless of the difference in their background.
