In a care setting, diversity means understanding that these differences can affect, or even determine the care needs of an individual. For example, a service user who has poor mobility would need assistance to mobilise around the home, with the type of assistance varying depending on how poor their mobility is, whilst another service user who is independently mobile would not need any assistance. Equality is about everyone being treated fairly, however it does not mean we treat everyone the same.
