What is Equality and Diversity?

Patients/clients are people, and people have rights. They have the right to be treated fairly and with dignity and respect, regardless of their age, gender, ethnic origin, sexual preference, economic status or religious beliefs (or non-beliefs).

It emphasises advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not. Equality and diversity and human rights foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.

Social equality requires the absence of legally enforced social class or caste boundaries and the absence of discrimination motivated by an inalienable part of a person’s identity. For example, sex, gender, race, age, sexual orientation, origin, caste or class, income or property, language, religion, convictions, opinions, health or disability must not result in unequal treatment under the law and should not reduce opportunities unjustifiably.
