Equality and DiversityEquality and Diversity

An introduction

Developed from resources found at: http://www.leadershiplearning.org.uk/course/view.php?id=326 With thanks.

Equality and diversity starts with us.

Addressing equality and diversity involves the establishment of equal access to, and participation in, education for all people no matter what sex, race or religion.

Some of these groups may not be familiar to us and we may not encounter them in our daily lives.

Yet, we will work and learn alongside them.

• new ideas

• people different from ourselves

• new ways of doing things.

Every day we display, and see in others, behaviour and sometimes attitudes:

– the top two layers of the iceberg

– but not usually the underlying beliefs and values.
