Term 2
Equality - is about fairness. Put simply is the idea that no matter who you are, you have the same equal chances and opportunities as the next person. However…
Diversity means difference - no two people on Earth are the same. Therefore giving the same treatment to all will not create equality; what one person finds easily achievable, might be more challenging for another. Sometimes it's not the person themselves; it's the people around them that can make it difficult to achieve something.
So; put Equality and Diversity together and it's all about making a level playing field for everyone to have a chance, no matter who they are, even if that means tailoring services differently to make them accessible to all.
Respect for Equality and Diversity extends to everyone, but specifically, the Trust will monitor the following areas to review quality and consistency.
Sexual Orientation - this includes individuals who are straight or not.
Disability - this includes anyone with a physical and / or mental impairment, and those associated with them (I.e. family/carers)
Age -It is unlawful for age to be the cause of less favorable treatment in a workplace or in vocational training, unless there is an objective justification for doing so.
Faith / Religion -Wherever one was born, wherever their parents came from, whatever the colour of their skin, they have a right to be treated fairly and be protected against racial discrimination and prejudice.
Race / Ethnicity - Wherever one was born, wherever their parents came from, whatever the colour of their skin, they have a right to be treated fairly and be protected against racial discrimination and prejudice.
Gender - this includes males, females.Women and men should not be treated unfairly because of their gender,
Pregnancy discrimination- occurs when expectant women are fired, not hired, or otherwise discriminated against due to their pregnancy or intention to become pregnant. Common forms of pregnancy discrimination include not being hired due to visible pregnancy or likelihood of becoming pregnant, being fired after informing an employer of one’s pregnancy, being fired after maternity leave, and receiving a pay dock due to pregnancy.
