Unit 1: Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector.

Moreover, a learning environment needs to be created where students can develop to their full potential and where they can be equipped with the skills to challenge inequality and discrimination. Furthermore, all learning materials need to be carefully selected and used in order to ensure that they do not discriminate against any individuals or groups. Finally, all policies, procedures and processes should apply equally to all students as well as members of staff. ‘Every learner has the right to expect that they will receive high...
