What is Equality and Diversity?
The changing and diverse nature of our communities poses many challenges for individuals, groups and employers throughout the UK. In order to allow the social inclusion of all people in society, there is a need to bring equality, diversity and rights issues into the mainstream so that they are no longer viewed as something only affecting ‘minority’ groups.
This course aims to give learners an introduction to the issues around stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination. It will also help them to identify the basic rights that all people should enjoy and the shared values people have, whilst examining the responsibility each person and organisation has in ensuring that barriers to participation in society are removed.
Mandatory units
The qualification comprises three units:
Unit 1: Equality and Diversity in Society
Unit 2: Equality and Diversity in the Community
Unit 3: Equality and Diversity in the Workplace
This qualification is equivalent to two GCSEs.
