Unit 3
1.1
Diversity means varied or different, so in a social care setting the importance of diversity means to recognise and respect the importance of people’s wishes and to treat them as individuals.
Equality means ensuring that everybody is entitled to equal rights and opportunities and therefore preventing discrimination.
Inclusion means to ensure that everybody is made to feel respected and has a sense of belonging. They should feel included and be able to actively participate in activities and be valued for who they are.
Discrimination means unfair or unequal treatment to ether an individual or a group on the grounds of race, age, sex, gender, disability, religious beliefs or sexual orientation. It means that they are treat less favourably than someone else in the same situation and unfairly disadvantaged or excluded.
1.2

Indirect discrimination occurs when working practices and provision are put in place that disadvantage members of one group of people more than others i.e. maybe a particular ethnic group are given certain tasks and not others or women are allocated certain jobs whilst men take others.
1.3
Practices that promote diversity, equality and inclusion make for a cohesive working atmosphere in which everybody feels comfortable and able to talk to each other about any problems or concerns they have over performing a certain task which may go against their beliefs, values or preferences and therefore reducing the likelihood of others making them feel out of place and discriminated against.
