Equality means ensuring fair opportunities, while diversity recognises and respects individual differences. UK care workers should provide inclusive, non-discriminatory care.
Discrimination is unfair treatment based on characteristics such as age, disability, race or sex. It can be direct or indirect and is prohibited under the UK Equality Act 2010.
Inclusion means creating an environment where everyone feels respected, valued and able to participate. UK care workers should adapt support to individual needs and preferences.
Challenge discriminatory behaviour appropriately, report concerns through workplace procedures and promote fair treatment. Follow UK equality and diversity policies and the Equality Act 2010.
Equality and diversity training helps care workers recognise discrimination, reduce bias and provide respectful, inclusive and person-centred care that supports people's rights.
