Content: What is Equality and Diversity? Equality means ensuring everyone in your setting has equal opportunities, regardless of their abilities, their background or their lifestyle. Diversity means appreciating the differences between people and treating people’s values, beliefs, cultures and lifestyles with respect. Need a Certificate, Fast? We can help you gain a CPD accredited certificate with our range of online Safeguarding Adults Training. Popular courses, such as Dementia Awareness Training and Information Governance Training, could help you gain a better understanding of your responsibilities in healthcare. In a health and social care environment, it’s important that equality and diversity are at the heart of what you do. Your patients and service users are individual people. You should always strive to ensure that their diverse needs are met and ensure that they have equal access to the services you provide. This is particularly important for adults in need who, because of a disability, illness or their age, are unable to take adequate care of themselves and keep themselves from harm.
