1.2Explain the importance of promoting the rights of all children and young people to participation and equality of access. It is essential that all children have full access to all areas of education to allow them to fully develop in every way possible. There is much legislation in practice to aid this including every child matters, the SEN code of practice and the disability discrimination act. Schools are required to allow every child to follow an individual learning plan catered specifically to their personal needs. In addition to this all children have the right to an equal education in a mainstream school with the opportunities to play and learn together.
Topic: diversity

There must be no discrimination for any reason towards any members of staff, parents or pupils. This attitude towards inclusivity not only promotes better development both academically and socially but is also a more efficient use of resources. Each school must have a code of practice in place containing information relating to equal opportunities and a policy concerning the schools practices surrounding special educational needs to protect and benefit all students and staff. Schools should focus on the individual needs of all students and allow opportunities for them to become integrated with not only their peers but the local community.
Topic: diversity

There are certain groups that may be more vulnerable to exclusion or segregation. These groups include families who hold English as a second language, students who are gifted and talented or are new to the school. In addition to these, families who are of a cultural or ethnic minority, parents whose views and values differ from that of the school or looked after children may also be susceptible to various forms of exclusion. It is important that we are mindful to treat all individuals the same regardless of their beliefs, capabilities or background.

1.5Demonstrate ways of applying the principles of equality, diversity and anti-discriminatory practice in your own work with children and young people. In my working environment I come into contact with children from a variety of different social and cultural backgrounds. There are many families with differing and varied beliefs, which are celebrated and respected by staff, children and their families alike. All children have the right to attend school and must be given the opportunity to be included in every aspect of school life. In cases where children have additional needs lessons and activities must be modified to give them the same opportunities as their peers.
Topic: diversity

This may include the use of additional resources or equipment specific to the learners needs. Sometimes it may be necessary to seek addition training to aid and enrich the learning opportunities of a child, for example learning makaton, how to use braille or PECS (picture exchange communication system) which can be useful to communicate with children who have a wide range of communication differences including autism. Sometimes additional support may be all a child requires, or simply the time to learn and complete tasks at their own pace.
Topic: diversity

Simply put, anti-discriminatory practice is creating an environment where nobody experiences discrimination regardless of factors such as their race, gander, ability, culture or ethnicity. It is the ability to give fair treatment and equal learning opportunities to all individuals. To practice this in my school and classroom I must ensure I treat those around me with trust and respect. Children who witness this positive attitude and the relationships it creates will mimic my behaviour and in turn will be able to create their own open and positive relationships. It is vital that I celebrate the differences and similarities between all people in our diverse society and actively practice this in my daily life and the way I treat others. If I become aware of discriminatory comments or actions made by others I must challenge this and where necessary report it to the appropriate person.

Living in a diverse 21st century that is encountering rapid changes to gender equality and diversity and how we perceive every individual, recognising the importance of being able to adapt to changes happening around us in order for us to be able to survive and coexist. Society is defined by the participation of individuals and the roles they play. More often than not these roles are gender based. Therefor this essay will explore how gender roles affect male and female educational and professional choices, and the barriers they may encounter, identity change, implications and institutional responsibilities.
Topic: diversity

Gender is defined in an individual by their biological sex, although how they identify themselves is down to individual choice. (Burr, 2003 p213) describes identity as strands woven together. Gender as a characteristic can be made up of multiple layers within each person. Sharp et al (2007) advises that actions and choices made by individuals help to mould the sexual orientation of that person. Thus, prompting changes in cultural standards, within an increasingly diverse society that develops as our generations advance. Pushing teachers towards reflecting on their standards and methods in which they convey learning, so we can be progressively inclusive of present-day gender identity.
Topic: diversity

Regards the importance of education, and the connections between education/training, the workforce and economy have shown a need for gender balance in recent years. A report conducted by the Scottish Government (Scottish Government Social Research, 2013) indicates that regardless of actions to reduce the gender gap in further education, there is still a requirement for changes to be made in order to combat this issue. The Office for National Statistics (2013), released figures which show a decrease in male employment but an increase in female numbers participating in the worklplace. However, further evidence from the Scottish Funding Council (2017) demonstrates an increase of up to 50.4% of males now undertaking studies in FE, be that as it may, success rates for males are still much lower than those of their female counterparts. This is due to the capacities of institutions to improve enrolment of potential students through implementation of strategies, while featuring the requirement for teachers to adjust more towards the needs of male students in order to aid retention and success rates.
Topic: diversity

The Scottish Funding Council (2016) demonstrate that there is still more than a 75% imbalance within some areas of FE. Some of the trade specific areas such as Motor vehicle, Engineering and Construction are still predominantly dominated by males. So, although there is a decline in male numbers entering FE, information still indicates that they are more likely to remain within an area or industry dominated by their own gender. This may be due to typical stereotyping, with males still expected to secure employment and become the main earner within the household in order to provide for their family. Whilst areas such as Beauty Therapy, Hairdressing and Child Care are still dominated by females, this may also be due to stereotyping and identity, with women still being expected to be homemakers and mothers who are readily available for their children.
Topic: diversity

Challenges within the classroom environment for teachers of males within a female dominated area may be of loneliness or feelings of exclusion, males are less likely to integrate within a female class, thus having a knock on effect with their studies, a lack of interaction or communication in small groups or class discussions due to male stereotyping may have an impact on grades and course achievement. Whilst the enrolment of more men within traditional female areas cannot be influenced by teachers, the use of more male role models within this subject area may help to break down the barriers and encourage more males into such an industry.
Topic: diversity

By developing inclusive practices within the classroom in order to embed equality and diversity into not only course content but also assessment, feedback and structure of curriculum, this will continue to break down the barriers regarding gender imbalance and inclusiveness within the learning environment. Teachers showing high levels of motivation and an openness towards positive mind sets in a diverse environment, promoting the fact that all students are treated equally without direct or indirect discrimination and by combining this with higher self-confidence and training. Avis, Fisher & Thompson (2014) state as teachers we have a duty to treat students fairly and equally and to enhance learning for all. Wright (2006) infers that by providing more opportunities for students to experience work experience and open discussions with lecturers and employers within the curriculum will help male students to succeed within their chosen study area. By promoting the use of self and peer assessment this may aid gender attitudes towards study choices. Females are more open to positive feedback, where males tend to use numerical forms of feedback. Teachers can utilise this method of learning and teaching to help break down barriers and reduce the gender imbalance within this non-traditional area.
Topic: diversity

By addressing equality within education and promoting protected characteristics within the classroom environment, and accepting that all learners are not defined by a single characteristic but that they are usually made up of a range of characteristics. By integrating this within the curriculum and course content this could help to change the opinion of many areas that are dominated by one gender or the other. Aikman & Unterhalter (2005) state that changes to items such as exercises, case studies and practical examples, could serve to provide a visual representation of gender equality to learners.
Topic: diversity

The appropriate use of terminology and language relevant to that subject area may be an issue, by using gender neutral language in order to reduce typical stereotyping and also by using male examples in female areas and vice versa will further aid men and women into entering into non-traditional areas of education and employment. As teachers we hold certain predujice defined as pre-judging students via stereotyping. Holding these prejudices does not mean that teachers act in a discriminatory way. Gregson & Hillier, (2015). By treating students in a different manner due to a protected characteristic has implications of direct discrimination. However, this can be safe guarded against in comparison to indirect discrimination which occurs when you implement a practice which can disadvantage a student who has a particular protected characteristic.

India is a big country comprising many racial groups with a great number of spoken languages and dialects. There are several religions and sects. These are reflected in their customs, rituals, dresses and festivals. Indian is the cradle of many cultures. In spite of the diversities, the people are united. Though several foreign invaders attacked India, none succeeded in destroying the basic Indian culture.

Our scriptures are the storehouses of spiritual wisdom. The Indians are rooted to spiritual values in spite of the material progress. The West is fast inclining towards our spiritual values which include meditation, charity, love, universal brotherhood, fear of God, control of passions, etc. During the British rule in India, the people from all sections and communities stood for a common cause which resulted in the revolt of 1857. It was the first time in Indian history that people from all walks of life, irrespective of their caste, religion and region stood together against a common enemy.

It leads to intolerance, disharmony and lawlessness among the masses. There has also been an increase in riots, violence and killings of innocent people. The demolition of Babri Masjid, Mumbai blasts, massacre of innocent Sikhs in the 1984 riots, Gujarat riots of 2002, blasts in the capital of the country, terror attack in Mumbai resulted in the loss of thousands of lives and massive internal migration. The militancy problem in Jammu and Kashmir and the Northeast have further weakened the secular fabric of India. Terrorism should not be allowed to raise in ugly head and destroy our basic unity. We can overcome this problem if we bury our feelings of differences for one another and work unitedly. The Indian culture has always been tolerant to different cultures. It is for this reason that it has remained alive though many ancient civilizations decayed. Influence of various cultures have made it rich and vibrant. Significant contribution have been made to it by the Aryans, Dravidians, Mongolians, Greeks , Persians, Arabs, Mughals and Europeans. The Persian and Western influence on our art, literature, painting and dress have now become an integral part of our own culture. If a person travels from one part of the country to another, he faces a totally different enviroement, where people talk, dress and worship differently. But he will not feel as a stranger. Every where he will recognize a common thread in some aspect of life which makes him feel at home. This is because the Indian culture has preserved its fundamental character through the ages. Indian has a rich cultural heritage. She is a treasure-house of music, fine arts, dance, drama, theatre, literature and sculpture. The temples of the south, the caves of the Khajuraho, Ajanta and Ellora are shining examples of Indian sculptures and architecture. The Taj Mahal, Red Fort, Jama Masjid, etc show a blend of Indian and Mughal architecture.

The variety, color and the emotional richness of dances is a feature of India ‘s culture unity. The country abounds in tribal dances, folk dances as well as classical dances of great skill. Indian festivals are held in various parts of the world. It projects the cultural unity of Indian in the eyes of the world. Our cultural heritage serves as a bond of unity between people of different faiths and creeds. In recent time, there has been a cultural awakening of the educated youth who have become aware of the beauty of our forms and crafts. They have started taking interest in educating themselves about their rich cultural traditions. The government has also started organizing big cultural events to promote national integration. It has set up four regional cultural centres in different parts of the country. It is the effort of the government to strengthen the common bond of unity that ties the people together in spite of the diversity in their religions and beliefs. The heart of Indian is one. We are all heirs to a common and rich culture. We should not be influenced by superficial prosperity or by Western ideologies. We should strive to maintain the relationship of common brotherhood. We should uphold the torch of unity irrespective of the different faiths and creeds.

India being the largest democracy in the world with a civilization more than five thousand years old boasts of multiple cultural origins. The cultural origins of the Indian subcontinent can be traced back to the Indus Valley Civilizations, the remains of which are cherished even today. Since the late 16th century India was under the influence of the British Empire until 15th August 1947 the day when India gained independence. India is a land of diverse cultures, religions and communities. There is great diversity in our traditions, manners, habits, tastes and customs. Each and every region of the country portrays different customs and traditions. But though we speak different languages yet we are all Indians. ‘Unity in Diversity ‘ has been the distinctive feature of our culture. To live peacefully has been our motto and this motto has helped us to achieve independence. As history tells us that there has been active participation from people of different caste and religion. In our struggle for freedom people from different communities participated keeping one thing in mind that they all are Indians first. But unfortunately this peace and understanding among different communities has been endangered lately. India at present is facing many problems. The biggest of these is the problem of communalism. In their personal fight they are destroying their life only. In fact, it is the biggest threat to humanity and to the unity and integrity of the country.

People from different background and culture participated in India ‘s struggle for freedom. The national leaders, particularly Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru, Azad and Bose had coined the slogan unity in diversity There are numerous others who were also involved. Be it Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Jain and Sikhs everybody had a single identity of being an Indian. It should be understood that all of us have multiple identities religious, linguistic, cultural, regional and caste identities. No one can claim single identity. One who demands single identity i.e. national identity does not recognize the reality but during India ‘s struggle for freedom no one thought in that manner they just thought of India ‘s independence. Modern India presents a picture of unity in diversity where people of different faiths and beliefs live together in peace and harmony. Still today also India remains one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world.

From “Sabang ‘till Merauke” is the name of a song dedicated to Indonesia’s many islands and its diversity. It’s numerous chain of islands contained in the thirty-two thousand miles dividing two oceans, the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. Sabang is a small island just off the coast of Sumatra; Merauke is a small village near the border of Papua New Guinea. Indonesia’s 13,677 islands inhabited by 350 different ethnic groups, and more than 200 different languages. Consequently this part of the world gave many different cultures, traditions, and way of lives.

Despite this diversity, Indonesia today has a common bond that united them all into one nation, one language, and one people. Due to this diversity, conflicts are unavoidable. However, the people of Indonesia have been able to overcome their differences. The spirit of musyawarah (to deliberate or confer), mufakat (to agree), and gotong-royong (mutual assistance) that have been instilled by their fore-father have helped in achieving peace between the people’s groups. They have yet find this quality in any other nations of the world. The largest country, both in area and population, in Southeast Asia is the Republic of Indonesia.

It consists of 13,677 islands that cover 741,101 square miles (1,919,443 square kilometers) of land along the equator between the Indian and Pacific oceans. With a population of more than 210 million, it ranks as the world’s fourth most populous country. The nation is poor, with a low standard of living, even though it has many valuable natural resources. These include large onshore and offshore petroleum and natural gas deposits, huge tracts of tropical hardwood forests, and a variety of minerals, including tin, nickel, and copper. However, only about 10 percent of the land can be used for raising crops.

The islands of Indonesia, of which 6,044 are inhabited, spread out over about 3,200 miles (5,300 kilometers) from east to west, and 1,300 miles (2,100 kilometers) from north to south. The country’s total land and sea area are more than 3 million square miles (7. 7 million square kilometers). Despite the vast number of islands, five of them account for nearly 92 percent of the land area. These are Sumatra; Java; Celebes (Sulawesi); two thirds of Borneo (Kalimantan); and the western portion of New Guinea, Irian Jaya. Almost 95 percent of the people live on those main islands, and more than 62 percent make their homes n Java.

Under international law, the waters between the islands of an archipelago have not traditionally been regarded as part of a country’s territory. However, Indonesia claimed them as such, which led to international disagreements. The Law of the Sea Convention, approved by the United Nations in 1982, established the concept of archipelago waters, supporting Indonesia’s claim. From the start of its history, Indonesia was divided in various ways among a number of rulers. The Netherlands ruled the islands for nearly 350 years, until Indonesia declared its independence in 1945.

All Indonesian schoolchildren are required to learn this language, called Bahasa Indonesia. It was developed from Trade Malay, one of the most widespread hybrid languages used by Indonesians. Bahasa Indonesia also contains elements borrowed from the ethnic languages, particularly Javanese. English is taught in the schools as well. Most Indonesians live in rural areas and are farmers, though they generally raise only enough food crops to feed their own families. About 78 percent of the population is classified as rural, and about 60 percent of the labor force works directly in agriculture.

The rest of the rural population earns a living through fishing, forestry, handicrafts, and the processing of agricultural products. The most common type of settlement, typified by the Javanese village, is a concentration of large thatched-roof houses on stilts. These villages, called kampungs, are surrounded by fruit trees and various kinds of palm trees, which contribute substantially to the family food supply. A kampung, normally provide shelter for about 500 persons and many of the structures blend into neighboring settlements. These appear to be towns of several thousand people, most of who are engaged in agriculture.

Rural population densities in these areas are extremely high, reaching 3,000 per square mile (1,160 per square kilometer) in parts of Java. Densities tend to be much less in the Outer Islands. Only about 22 percent of Indonesia’s population lives in cities, but the country has a number of large urban centers. The urban population growth of the 1960s and 1970s was more than twice as rapid as the total population growth. Indonesia has more than 30 cities with populations of over 100,000, and five with over a million; Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, and Semarang, all on Java; and Medan on Sumatra.

Jakarta, the nation’s capital, was developed by the Dutch as the commercial and administrative center of the islands, then called the Dutch East Indies; its population increased to more than 6. 5 million in the early 1980s. Many Indonesian cities reflect their colonial origins. Old colonial architecture, modern buildings, and kampung like areas stand next to one another. About 90 percent of the people are Muslims, but the intensity of their observance varies. The most ardent are the Acehnese of northern Sumatra, who converted to Islam at the end of the 13th century.

A fabric, called batik, created in Java, is particularly well known in other countries, and some is exported. Batik is an Indonesian word meaning “wax writing”–The process involves applying a mixture of beeswax and paraffin wax to specific proportions of the fabric using a curious Javanese instrument called a “Tinting”. The fabric is then dipped or panted with wet dyes, leaving the waxed areas impervious to the color. The designs and the color schemes are built up with successive waxing and dyeing. As this process is all done by hand, each piece is original and no two pieces are ever quite the same.

The Dutch developed highly efficient shipping services to all the islands and ports, and the company that provided those services was nationalized by the Indonesian government in 1958. Since then, regular shipping services by more than 300 modern vessels have been sporadic and inefficient. Some of the demand for interisland transport has been met by thousands of small native craft. The major deep water ports are Tanjung Priok in the area of Jakarta, Surabaya, and Cilacap on Java; Belawan, Dumai, and Palembang on Sumatra; Balikpapan on Borneo; and Ujung Pandang (Makassar) on Celebes.

I concur that trainees in China and India would learn more stuff from the high amounts of the curriculums from education system. It is affordable for one to think that students in China and India would typically be more smart after they get graduated since they discovered way much stuff from school in comparison with trainees who graduated within the same level of education in U.S.A.. It does suggest that students in China and India are smarter than United States students; it is just a declaration that trying to say trainees would have more knowledge and end up being more competitive to meet today’s world demand.
Topic: diversity

Lots of people worldwide today would concur that students can discover curriculum with a much better quality within U.S.A., and it is a true declaration. However, some would argue that students would have a chance to find out method more things if they are students and take classes in China and India. It is sensible for a lot of individuals begin to question why the educational system in US would be less competitive with China and India. It is because trainees in China and India take way more courses and curriculums than trainees in USA.
Topic: diversity

The quantity of loads of school academic works is way much higher, which implies trainees in China and India would require to spend more time to handle substantial amount obviously and the level of difficulty is much higher along with in comparison to United States students at the same level of the grades. Possibly it is the cultural differences between the nations. USA is more democracy in terms of instructional route. It indicates every trainee in United States would have liberty to figure out courses choices while they enter high school.
Topic: diversity

The academic workloads would be way much less as well, because they only have to focus on the related major. However, it is different in China and India, students there would have no choice but to take every single course school system has designed for them to take with. And the academic workloads are way much massive than any student in US can imagine. The time students in China and India need to prepare for a course would be way much than an ordinary student needs to do so, because it is very competitive in China and India.
Topic: diversity

One other important reason for students in China and India to be more active on studying is because they students would receive severe punishment right away once they fail to achieve certain academic goals, and they punishment could be either physical one or spend a lot of time to write more assignments as a punishment. Students in USA would never worried about he physical punishment because the law protects students from been physically punished, therefore a lot of students would not even care about the academic performances, because they know nothing can ever happen for the foreseeable future.
Topic: diversity

And if a student happens to fail a course in US, all he or she needs to do is to retake the course next semester, and no one would feel pressure about that because the courses are pretty straight simple anyways. Most American students would need to take a part time job since their high school life, so a lot of students do not get good chance to spend enough time to focus on their academic performance. The priority would be different for every student, because some of the students have a better family economy, and some students would need to make their own income in order to make the school tuition paid.
Topic: diversity

Therefore, even if the students in US wish to put more effort into studying, the surrounding environment might not allow them to do so. And it becomes a very common thing for a student to have a part time job during their academic semester. The downside of this thing is that it becomes a great excuse for a student not to attend to a class or a meeting because of their job related duties. For example; a student would likely to miss every single group discussion due to the after school work schedule.
Topic: diversity

If this happens, the students would have less time to complete their education on time, and the effort they are willing to put into the academic are less than average students. And one important element that motivate student to find a job during his or her academic semester is the direct influence from school. Schools would invite companies to put advisement in the school advertising area to attract and encourage student to get a job. This would make students to believe it is necessary and very normal to get a job while studying.
Topic: diversity

This is certainly a good thing to do, because earning money and engage with the society can benefit students in terms of building relationship with other employees and gain experience from the work. So it become a socially accepted behavior for a student to get a job, and most parents would agree that their child should be put into workforce while they are young, so the child can start to learn how to interact with the society instead sitting at home watching TV. Students in China and India simply do not have time to work as a student worker; they have too much burden on their school academic work already.
Topic: diversity

Students can hardly have time to spend with their families because they have to attend to tutorials before and after school hours. Perhaps it is the differences between cultures, one emphasizes on the academic performance of the students, the other one focus on the relationship with the society. Both China and India think that education is number priority of the students to have than anything else. And although it is also the number one priority set for student in USA, however, the way US education has light contents in comparison with China and India.
Topic: diversity

The load of school academic work has a lot difference, and one would be able to tell if he or she actually been to both different countries to experience the differences of the academic contents. USA generally has an educational system that has a good reputation for quite a while. The quality of the educational system is greater than the Asian countries. The laws and regulations are set to ensure that every student has a right to complete necessary education on their will. It is not enforcement or anything like that for students in US.
Topic: diversity

The academic performance has no impact on their free life since students may proceed to do whatever they wish to do even though they choose to abandon schools. There are evidence showed that the average ages of students in high schools and colleges are much higher than students in China and India. The reasons behind this are because student in USA spend there youth to pursue easy courses and also doing something else while they were attending schools. It makes them to have slow progress or even make their school years stopped for whatever reasons they face.

It is not a pure educational environment for the student in USA, because there is no extreme enforcement to make them stay in the right track to complete the education. Unlike in China and India, the timeline has been set for every student and to the reason for this is because that the education academic system wants the students to complete the necessary education in time and makes no excuses to anyone. Less social engagement would be seen in China and India while students are taking classes during the school semesters.

And also, in the vacation break like summer and winter, it do not really mean a vacation for students in China and India, because most of them are asked to take courses during that specific period of time. It is not a choice of freedom for them, because the courses offered during the vacation time actually counts and academic grades, which means if some people do not attend to the class, they will not only get grades, their academic progress would be left behind and there is no way they can catch up, it is like missing classes with the full load of the contents everyday.
Topic: diversity

School’s progress would move on without those students, if the classes offered during the vacation is a requirement or the prerequisite for the incoming semester, then the students might have to drop out from school and wait for another chance to get in in the future. And it is very rare to see the age of student people dropped out from school, unless it is in USA. In USA, it is not hark to see older age people to take the same classes as the young student together, because it has become a culture norm.

It means the students in USA would no longer feel pressure about the academic progress, at least, not too seriously, after school, no matter it is college students or high school students, they would just do something else rather than studying about the academics. And actually, the academics in USA is very simple, so it is really easy to catch up with the following semester, if some people dropped out at current semester, the same courses would always be offered next term, and the progress would be easily be caught up.

I work in a Residential Care home where we have a mixture of clients with different faiths and upbringings. Because of the age difference between me and the service users, the way I was brought up will be totally different to the way the service users would have been brought up. When I was I child I was told that there was a god and had to go to Sunday school, but as I got to my teenage years I started to doubt there was a god. When I turned 18 I joined the army, where there is a strong church of England presence and at times I took comfort in the Sunday church service. It was not until I went to Rwanda that I new there was not a god, because no god would let so much killing or atrocities happen that is what I believe.

But even thoe I was probable coming in to contact with the people who committed the vile acts, I had to stay professional and not let my emotions or believes stop me in doing the job I was sent there for, giving medical aid with the United Nations. Just because I don’t believe in god, do’s not mean my beliefs should impact on a service users beliefs. Many of the service users in my work setting like to mend there own clothes and darn there socks, if you say to them that shirt or dress has a hole in it and it needs to be thrown away, they look at you in discuss. When they were growing up times were hard and they had to make do with what they had and threw nothing away. My parents were the same, in 2015 thoe thing are a lot cheaper and easily obtained. But that does not mean that I should disregard there heritage and throw there stuff away, because I no they could easily replace it.

Another example is preferences, I recently had a conversation with a female service user I care for about cleanliness, she explained to me that when she was growing up she only had a bath once a week and that was only on a Sunday. I replied that I must have a bath or shower at least three times a week. I said that she can have a bath more than once a week if she would like, but I will respect her preference to have a bath once a week and on a Sunday. On leaving her room it got me thinking on my childhood and I remembered that like her I to only had a bath on a Sunday before bed. But it just shows you how some peoples preferences change over time and some stay the same.

Inclusive practise is making sure that all service users are able to participate or join any activity that is planned in there care setting for example: The care Manager has organised a trip out to Ventnor Botanical Gardens. Three residents are unable to walk, to make sure they are included three wheel chairs are sourced and a special adapted minibus with a rear hydrolic ramp to which the wheel chairs can be pushed on and loaded in to the minibus is hired. All service users are there for included and no one is left behind. When there is a film afternoon planned in the t.v room, the service users that cant walk can all so be brought down from whatever floor they are on by using a wheel chair and lift so they are included in the film.
Topic: diversity

Excluded practice is when service users are not treated the same, for example when we have a film afternoon in our care setting. All the service users are invited including the hearing impaired, if we did not consider the people or person who is death or partially deaf, then we would be discriminating against them if we did play the film with subtitals. Another example could be if the service manager took questionnaires around to each service user, but did not consider the blind or partially blind service users. If he left the leaflet then he would be discriminating against them because he did not provide the leaflet in Braille.

When it comes to the dimension of cultural diversity, it can be identified with four main types of minority groups which help describe many of the dimensions of cultural diversity. The first group, racial, is based on physical differences that are obvious to the observer such as skin color, hair color or facial features. Ethnic groups are those based on a person’s origin or cultural patterns. The third group, religious, differentiates individuals based on their association with a certain religion and the fourth group is based on a person’s gender.
Topic: diversity

Other dimensions of diversity include a person’s age, sexual orientation, health status and gender. Although there are all types of ethnics groups, the ethnic group that I identify with most is African American, one hundred percent. Culturally I was born and raised in the United States but growing up I have stayed in different places like Germany when my father was in the military for twenty years. I do think that being from a military family, I found myself in another circle that shares common traditions and beliefs.
Topic: diversity

I am a Christian and I believe that God is the creator of all. I think that my ethnicity plays into my culture and traditions. For example we all think that we have to prove ourselves to others just because we need to prove a point. Really we are equal in front of god. In addition I am mother of one so the other circles, the circles of moms. I think that African American people are fun to hang around and easy to sometimes talk to. I like that African American people can have fun but at the same time be serious when the time permits it.

The word benefits of diversity represents a large group comprised of different people with different experiences. These differences include race, color, religion, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status or citizenship. However, “diversity” does not address how these different people function or work. Inclusion enables us to strive to have all people represented and make all members, partners and employees feel welcomed and valued, not only for their abilities, but also for their unique qualities and perspectives.
