Equality is about creating a fairer society, where everyone can take part and has the opportunity to fulfill their potential. It is about identifying patterns of experience, based on group identity, and the challenging processes that limit a person’s life chances. An equalities approach understands people’s identity – in terms of sex, racial/ethnic origin, religion, disability, sexual orientation, transgender status, age, etc – impacts on their experiences.

Diversity means difference. It is recognising individual and group differences, treating people as individuals and placing positive value on those differences in both the community and the workforce. Individual and group diversity must be considered so as to ensure everyone‘s needs and requirements are understood and responded to.
