Learner Instructions
Read the scenario given below. Select a setting between the community services, specify the type
of service, or at a school.
Expand on the scenario and create information as if you were working in a diverse
workplace. If you are working or have been on work placement in a suitably diverse workplace,
you can use information about that workplace.
If you use information about real workplace, always use a different name so the organisation
cannot be identified. This is extremely important, and it is called deidentifying the data.
Please use each of the following numbered points as subheadings within your project and write
your responses under each of these subheadings. Submit to your assessor.
Please make sure that you keep a copy of your assessment submissions.

various different cultures and languages and disabilities so that there can be harmony in the
