Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion

Equality means we should treat everybody as an individual. Everyone has equal and fair opportunity.

Diversity means we should include, recognise and value that society is made up of people from wide ranging backgrounds.

Inclusion means the practice of providing equal access to opportunities for everyone who may be excluded or marginalised, these are known as Protected Characteristics.

Protected Characteristics are:

  • Age
