Legislation and codes of practice relating to diversity, equality, inclusion and discrimination

The Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 is an Act of the Parliament relating to discrimination in employment, the public education system, delivery of goods and services, and other services such as banking, health care, and property and night clubs.

equality – It means that regardless of our race, gender, or sexuality, everyone should be treated as equal and given the same opportunities to achieve their best.
Equality- means treating people in a way which is appropriate for their needs.make sure they have fair treatment and access to opportunities even if they
Equality- can be described as breaking down barriers, eliminating discrimination and ensuring equal opportunity and
The Equality Act (2010) is designed to address unfair discrimination, harassment and victimisation and advance equality of opportunity and ensure good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not. These characteristics are age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion and belief, sex and sexual orientation.
There are many Legislations, Codes of practice (Some of which are listed below) and also my workplace policies which regulate equality diversity and inclusion within my area of responsibility.The equality and diversity act is the most significant piece of legislation to be introduced for a long time. And has recently be modified it states that all people male or female people from different races, disabled people, people of different ages, gay lesbian, straight and bisexual people or transsexual people. People from different religions or different beliefs, pregnant women,
This law proctects people from prejudice and allows legal action to be taken against any person or company who is proven to have unfairly treated any of the protected groups covered by this Act.

Equality means having equal access to the too services a person needs. The centre promoted equality when Patrick Green was tested positive for HIV. Although Patrick was concerned about no longer being accepted as a member he was reassured that he will retain all access to all facilitates and wold be treated with the same courtesy. This is showing equality as Patrick will have equal access to the facilities just like everyone else who goes to the centre, and just like he would even if he didn’t test positive for HIV.
By supporting an individual’s diversity by recognising their differences and valuing them and their individuality, by supporting a individuals equality, treating a person equally, by including them in all group activities and encouraging individuals to express their views and opinions, by not treating anyone differently due to their background, ethnicity, culture, race, age, sexual orientation, personality, disability, religion, beliefs and gender and overall promoting good practice can prevent/stop the likelihood of abuse.
This practice prohibits discrimination on the basis of an individual’s race, color, religious beliefs, sex or national origin. I picked this practice because everyone should be treated fairly, no matter what your race, religion or gender is. This will help management by having more diversity in the workplace. This Act will help everyone understand the importance of treating everyone with respect. This practice can be taught by having mandatory classes annually, so everyone can know the difference of what is considered fair treatment and what others consider unfair treatment. This practice can be used to protect everyone from getting hurt and to prevent any company from having any potential lawsuits.
Equality means to treat everyone the same. Everyone should have equal opportunities and access to resources and services regardless of their individual needs or differences. For example equal access to a building for wheelchair users.
Equality- being equal, especially in rights, status or opportunities. All individuals should be treated equally and there are laws in place to ensure that this happens. In accordance with the law, organisations have quality policies to ensure that everyone is treated equally.
