Equality, Equity, Inclusivity and Diversity: A Learning Resource

What is Equality, Equity, Inclusion and Diversity (EEDI)?

The UK’s Equalities Act 2010 seeks to protect people from discrimination and ensure that everyone is treated fairly. In 2011 the UK government published an easy read document – Easy Read: The Equality Act - to make concepts within the Equalities Act easier to understand.

Table 1. Core Legislative Concepts Defined

Diversity The variety of demographical traits that indicate human difference. The mixture of axes of difference (i.e., age, class, disability, ethnicity, gender, race, religion and sexuality etc.) that culminate to produce a given people group.
Discrimination The unfavourable treatment of one person compared to another because of their particular characteristics/traits.
Equality The state of being treated fairly and given the same rights and status as everyone else.
Positive Action The actions taken to ensure that those who are, and have been, disadvantaged because of personal characteristics receive equal and equitable opportunities and treatment both in and outside of the workplace
Protected Characteristics

A category of people who share a particular characteristic and have been granted special legal protection because of their historic, and ongoing, vulnerability to marginalisation. The Equalities Act list of protected characteristics:

  • Age
  • Disability
  • Gender Reassignment
  • Marriage & Civil Partnerships
  • Race
  • Religion/belief
  • Sex
  • Sexual Orientation

Equality and Equity (2019) Social Change UK – “Although both promote fairness, equality achieves this through treating everyone the same regardless of need, while equity achieves this through treating people differently dependent on need.”

Equity and Equality Are Not Equal (2014) – a useful article by Blair Mann published by the Education Trust.

Inclusion is the opposite of exclusion. It is an approach to policy and practice that intentionally includes and integrates people who might otherwise be marginalised or excluded.

Critical Theory & Critical Thinking

“Critical theory is a social theory oriented toward critiquing and changing society as a whole. Critical theories aim to dig beneath the surface of social life and uncover the assumptions that keep human beings from a full and true understanding of how the world works.”

(ThoughtCo, 2019)

Race & Ethnicity

Defining Race & Ethnicity 

  • Race – a social construct that is usually associated with biology and linked with physical characteristics such as skin colour or hair texture.
  • Ethnicity – a social construct linked with cultural expression and identification. o Race and ethnicity are used to categorise and characterise people groups.
  • “BAME” – an acronym used by governments bodies to denote black, Asian and minority ethnic communities. - This acronym is reductive and pigeon-holes people groups by what they are not – white. It has been recommended that government refrain from using this acronym. 
  • The CLB rejects this and other similar reductive terms. 
  • “Global Majority” – this term is thought to be empowering and signifies that those of African, Asian, Latin American and Arab descent form most of the world’s population – this rejects whiteness as the global norm. 
  • Minoritized Ethnic Groups - An emerging term that can replace ethnic minority and BAME/BME that recognises how specific ethnic groups have been minoritized through social structures and processes. This term acknowledges that groups who are minorities in the UK are majorities elsewhere.
