Equality & Diversity. Equality and Diversity is the current term used for ‘Equal Opportunities’. It is the legal obligation to protect against discrimination.

Discrimination can be against a person’s sex, gender, disability, sexual orientation, religion, belief, race or age.

We’ve all heard and used the words ‘equality’ and ‘diversity’ before but what do they mean and how do they affect you as an employer or employee?

Well if you take the words on their own they are quite different, equality is the state of being equal, especially in rights and opportunities.

Diversity is the state of being different or varied.

However, these 2 things should not be seen as opposite to each other, after all, people can be different but they still have the same rights.

When it comes to places of work there is legislation in place to ensure that we all meet our responsibilities regarding equality and diversity… And one way to make sure we meet these responsibilities is through training.

In this course, we’re going to be discussing two topics, ‘equality’ and diversity and how they relate to one another. Understanding this will help us to identify and address issues of unfairness and discrimination in the workplace.
