What Is Diversity and Inclusion

What Is Diversity and Inclusion…


Diversity is…

the differences that combine to make each of us a unique individual. This includes the protected characteristics in equality legislation but goes beyond that too.

Equality is…

when we level the playing field to ensure everyone has an equal chance to achieve their potential.  It is about removing the physical and attitudinal barriers that can prevent inclusion. It is not about treating everyone the same, it is about recognising their differences do exist and flexing our approach to accommodate different needs.

Inclusion is…

what happens when diversity is valued and barriers to equality are overcome.  It is when people can be their authentic selves and contribute fully in workplaces and in society. It is the only way to enable people to feel they belong and that their needs are understood.
