About Equality and Diversity

Equality

Equality is about giving people who have different identities based on their race, gender, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion and faith; the same chance to take part in work, education, housing, health and other services.

In England some of the following laws cover equality:
  • Race Relations Act 1976
  • Sex Discrimination Act 1975
  • Disability Discrimination Act 2005
  • Employment Equality (Age) Regulation 2006
  • Employment Equality (Sexual orientation) Regulation 2003
  • Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulation 2003
Diversity

Diversity is about recognising individual differences, which can include social class, cultural differences, marital status, skills and how these differences and others can benefit our organisation.
