Equality is assuring individuals or groups of individuals are treated fairly and equally and no less favourably specific to their needs, including areas of race, gender, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation and age. Promoting equality should remove discrimination in all of the aforementioned areas. Bulling, harassment or victimisations are also considered as equality and diversity issues. For example, it would not be equal treatment to provide two different residents with information about the services available written in English, if one of my residents spoke another language and could not understand English. I must value diversity, and not give favourable treatment to certain residents and neglect the others.

Not labelling or stereotyping individuals that we meet. Inclusion is about ensuring there are no barriers that exclude people or make it difficult to participate in society. This means working to reduce any barriers or obstacles that prevent people living their lives as fully and as equally as all others. This can be achieved by providing information in audio format or braille, providing automatic doors, making sure that the processes for obtaining support are easy to access and by asking what changes need to be made for an individual to participate and then making the changes happen. Discrimination is when a person or a group of people are treated less favourably than everyone else.
