15. What’s this about? In the next 30 minutes (hopefully) you will: Understand what Equality and Diversity is about and why it’s important See how inclusive practice as a PASS Leader can help your group work more effectively Gain confidence!

16. Which is ‘equality’ and which is ‘diversity’? a.Recognising, respecting and valuing individual difference; treating everyone fairly regardless of personal characteristics, background or personality. b.Freedom from discrimination for specific groups of people; removing barriers that could result in certain groups of people being disadvantaged compared with others.

17. The Equality Act (2010) Discrimination is illegal based on 9 Protected Characteristics: – Age – Disability – Race (includes Ethnicity and Nationality) – Gender/Sex – Gender Identity (Trans) – Marriage and Civil Partnership – Pregnancy and maternity – Religion and belief – Sexual orientation

18. Aims of E&D is about Talent, Innovation and Service Expectations of staff and students: To be considered on individual merits For no discriminatory barriers to exist To be treated with respect To be allowed to reach their potential To be supported

19. Good practice Is recognising that we are all biased in some way, and we constantly make judgements and group people. Treating people as individuals – What works for one person might not for another – Ask people about their experiences rather than making assumptions Valuing, respecting and learning from difference

20. Discussion in groups How might this affect different students? What would be the best way to ensure that what you do is fair to everyone? You could think about… ▫ Age ▫ Disability ▫ Race ▫ Gender ▫ Religion/Belief ▫ Sexual Orientation ▫ Social class ▫ Student parents/carers ▫ International or EU students ▫ Students who work ▫ Local students

21. FEEDING BACK What did your groups discuss?

22. In general… Think about the subtle differences as well as the HUGE THINGS Often it’s about communication more than anything Don’t be scared to ask for help!
