i have to give 3 examples of how discrimination can occur in the work setting and suggest how discrimination can be reduced by promoting equality and inclusion - the example on the actiivity sheet is:
occassion - what happened: I noticed that some members of staff have spoken very unkindly about and avoid X who is gay, they have said that they are scared of getting AIDS

How could equality and inclusion be promoted: my supervisor should be made aware and the people involved should be reminded about their responsibilities under their code of practice, staff could be educated about AIDS and also reminded about the rights of people that they support


Now I have to find 3 more scenario's on discrimination and suggestions of how to reduce it.

I need to complete by tuesday 5th March

thanks, Lorraine

If you go to the following link:

http://jobsearch.about.com/od/hiringdiscrimination/qt/Examples-Of-Employment-Discrimi nation.htm

you will find some examples, which will guide you.....once you've created those examples do a search on the internet (specific to those examples) to find how equality and inclusion can be promoted.

For example: disabilities, - how can equality and inclusion be promoted in the work place.

Hope this helps and good luck

I would like to add the following which should help further...examples you can play with

1 an individual being treated less favourably over others due to a disability.

2 an individual being treated less favourably due to their association with someone with a protected characteristic

3 Religious discrimination - treating an individual differently on the basis of belief

You should be able to create some scenarios around the above. With regards to promoting equality and inclusion, I believe there is no 'fixed' rule....so many ways to promote equality and inclusion which could apply to all.....posters, awareness campaigns, legislation/code of practice....even a team building exercise.....disciplinary, this ensures people are aware of the consequences of their behaviour....you may find better examples......

but good luck again

Thankyou, I wil go and look at that now...should make things clearer
