What is Equality & Diversity?
Equality and diversity are closely related but they aren't the same thing.
Equality can mean different things to different people but it is about making sure that everyone is treated fairly.
Diversity is about recognising and valuing peoples different backgrounds, skills and experience.
Equality is subject to the 2010 Equality Act and people need to be aware and act upon the implications of equality regulations. Understanding this as an individual is important to understand your rights and personal responsibilities.
Encouraging equality and diversity in the workplace gives every employee the opportunity to reach their full potential.
