Unit 9: Introduction to equality and Inclusion in Health, Social Care or Children and young people’s Settings
1.1 Explain what is meant by a. Diversity b. Equality C. Inclusion D. Dis-crimination

Equality is defined as the right of different groups of people to have a similar social position and receive the same treatment. For example children should all be treated equal no matter what the colour of their skin is or their religion nor gender.
Inclusion is defined as the process of identifying, understanding and breaking down barriers to participation and belonging. It must be ensured that the children and their parents gain from the settings and feel like they are welcomed.
Discrimination is defined as treating someone less or more positively than other people because they or their family are seen as belonging to a particular group in society.

If somebody is stereotyped, then we see one characteristic of that individual and not as them being a unique person. Furthermore we limit their abilities, achievements and lower our expectation of that individual.
