Why is this course essential?

Equality, diversity, and human rights are relevant to daily activities because they provide a framework that protects individuals’ freedom to control their lives, prevent discrimination, and set expectations that enable fair and equal services to and from public authorities.

The healthcare and social care sectors are responsible for ensuring the effective delivery of services and proper workforce management that fully demonstrate and reflect the principles of equality, diversity, and human rights.
