INTRODUCTION
Equality is something in which every individual has been given an equal opportunity irrespective
of their religion, colour, race, gender and age. Diversity is about taking account of the differences
between people and groups of people, and placing a positive value on those differences. There are
many aspects of individual in which they have to work very hard and with patience so that their
behaviour will give positive impact to the organization. Present report will lay emphasis on
identifying and explain the categories with regards to equality and diversity. It will also focus on
policy and regulatory framework affecting the equality and diversity. Study will also explain the
role of human right commission. It will also lay focus on the communication strategies to promote
diversity.
TASK 1
An Identify and explain the categories with regards to equality and diversity.
There are various categories which are related to equality and diversity. These characteristics
promote equality of opportunity for all the individuals. In this people are not treated differently
and not being discriminated on any of the basis. These includes the following:
Age – Age doesn't matter if it is not connected with experience, as people says it is just a
number. It is a fact that people are diverse by their age but if they are working in organization
and having same level of experience then there should be equality between them. For example:
In order to protect students from age discrimination, age limits and reservation quota has been
removed.
Gender – In many organization managers judge employees by their gender, but in Tesco every
employee is equal either male or female. Female can also do same work as male do, and in today's
time female are much better then male in many terms (Greene, 2019). Male and female are
diversified by gender but they are equal while it comes to their work or life. For example: In our
organization none of the student are judge on the basis of their gender and if any kind of gender
discrimination is faced by students then they have an authority to directly report the incident to
their relevant department
4

Religion – The biggest problem which arises everywhere is judging people with their religions, it
is not good to judge people with their religion as religion is made by people, so everyone should
see people as human and should follow humanity. Religion is highly diversified as people are
having different culture and traditions with their religions. For example: Same as above if any of
the student is judged on the basis of their Religious beliefs, then the student can report the
discrimination incident to the higher authorities.
Disability- Equality means that there should not be any discrimination on the basis of disability.
The handicapped and disabled individuals must also be given equal opportunity just like the able
one. For example: if any of the student is judged on the basis of their disability and it happens
then they can report the discrimination incident to higher authorities. Not only this, disabled
students are given first priority in most of the task and processes.
Pregnancy and maternity- Discrimination can also be done to pregnant women. In this woman
are being treated unequally because they are pregnant. Discrimination like these women can be
treated unfairly. Because of pregnancy they can be laid off from the job.
Race: Individuals can also have discriminated on the basis of race. This can also be because of
the colour, ethics and origin. For example: if any of the students are judged on the basis of their
race, then they can report the discrimination incident to the higher authorities and they can also
complain this or report it to discrimination authority of the organization.
Sexual orientation- This discrimination is against individuals because of the sexual behaviour. It
comes in the context of employment actions.
Marriage: Discrimination can be happened to both men and women. This happens when you are
treated worse than other workers in your workplace because you are married or in a civil
partnership. For example: a woman works night shifts in a distribution warehouse but is dismissed
when she gets married because her employer thinks a married woman should be at home in the
evening.
Civil partnership- When people who are not married are in civil partnership. Discrimination
related to it can also take place. They can be laid of the jobs when they come under civil partners.
As a teacher I protect students from discrimination. I speak with learners to discuss any special
needs they have and discuss with the learner if they would like to share with peers the needs they
have. I look at the culture of the school and consider how as a teacher I may be impacted. Ensure
5

learners understand the behaviour what is required of them. Be clear of any disciplinary action as
a result of any forms of discrimination. I ensure all learners value each other and they are getting
the basic rights they are entitled to. Make sure all the 9 protected characteristics are presented to
learners. Allow a talking culture in your classroom where any forms of discrimination is quickly
brought out in the open and discussed.
B Diversity.
Diversity defines that each individual is unique and has a different quality. Diversity can be
defined by gender, cast, age, status, etc. Diversity defines in which category culture and people
comes.
 In any organization diversity can be of different type that every organization is having
different culture diversity (Khanum, and Dsouza, 2019).
 Age diversity in organization doesn't matter until it contains high experience. For example
If two people with different age group working in Tesco and one is having age of 44 and
another of 34 but both of them are having same work experience and gives same
productivity to company then company will not give any advantage to them by their age.
 Same in the case of gender, Tesco believes that diversity of gender not make a difference
if they both are doing same work then should be treated same.
For example: in order to promote diversity within classroom various initiatives can be taken such
as: different perspective of students can be encouraged, equal access to opportunities like class
monitoring is provided to students etc. Empowering All Genders to feel part of inclusive learning,
and ensure learning is taking place. Each student will have their own story and each student will
be able to mix this along with opinions, backgrounds, preferences, and experiences. By allowing
students to share the above to the classroom, this can assist the class by creating a good class
atmosphere. As a teacher I create groups, mix the students from all backgrounds, give them a fun
topic in respect to multicultural view and enjoy people mix and get to know each other.
C Importance of promoting equality and diversity.
Promoting equality and diversity is very much important to bring harmony in work and for
reducing conflicts which arises due to inequality. If people understand that how to work with
equality they will understand the value of every individual, as in many of the countries people
6

treat others badly due to religion diversification and some due to inequality (Nachmias,
Aravopoulou and Caven, 2019).
So if people and community will promote thus things then all people will work with similar and
clear mentality. In classroom there must be more equality and diversity as this will help learner
in achieving their goals and objectives as well as create opportunities for progression. It will
also make students more comfortable in the class.
In order to promote equality and diversity within an organization inclusive classrooms can be
built for both general and special students, best practises can be promoted within the
organization for the employees, multi-cultural society can be build, all kinds of disabilities can
be identified so that solution for including those disabled employees can be included. The idea is
to reduce risk and harm to all student, hence why effective promoting could minimize the risk of
Student harm.
D Analyse the ways to promote equality and value diversity.
Equality and Diversity at any place is very important, it is promoted by treating the staffs and
students fairly without discrimination. Create an inclusive culture. Participation in every task of
the learning equally. Hiring the staff from diverse situation will promote the diversity and
equality among the employees of the organization.
Create a fair environment. It enhances the communication skills of the students and academics.
Easily the communication will decrease the gap of boundaries. It can also help the people to get
aware of their rights of equality either working in organization or studying in the university.
Globalization is increasing if everyone treats each other as equal (Riach and Brewis, 2019). No
partiality is done. Promoting equality leads people to be educated about their rights. The
teachers have the responsibilities to give the training about the rights, so the utilization of the
rights gets official. Acceptance of different people in the organization, keeps healthy relation
between people. Positive attitudes should be developed from a person a positive attitude about
each other. If awareness in the people spread, they get aware of each other rights and do not
harm anybody. Arrange the training programs, Campaigns, about awareness of rights. Discussing
within the community, groups.
In order to promote equality and diversity within the classroom following points can be
considered like: rules should be set regarding the way students should behave and act, treating all
the students equally and enforce a level play field, creating inclusive classrooms by engaging
7

students in different activities as well as encouraging team working, avoiding stereotyping like
gender stereotyping etc.
TASK 2
A: Factors affecting learning and their impact on learning:
Learning can help students in growing. It can make their grades better and it can also help them
in achieving study objectives. It includes the following:
There are various factors which affects the learning of the human being which is described
below:
Confidence: Confidence is the factor which affects the learning of the people both positively and
negatively. The level of confidence should increase the way of learning to improve the career
and growth in the future. Self-confidence is one of the most important factors in the learning of
the people because it gives effective and efficient motivation which helps the individuals to
become more focused about their career and future (Nachmias and Caven, 2018). Motivation
helps to improve the capacity of learning in the individuals so that they will learn in their best.
Social and cultural factors: Social factors are lifestyles, customs and values that defines the
society and affects the learning of the students and learner in their early stage. Extreme poverty,
neglect and abuse will affects the students learning. The students must have the impact of
cultural because there are different culture in the society and have different language, practices
and values which the people follow in the society. The students face different if they are from
different culture, and they have to understand the language spoken in the country studying in and
values of the culture firstly. The terms and conditions of the society could create a problem in the
learning of the students. Every country has different culture and society. If a student is coming
from a different country, then the student might take a bit longer in absorbing the text in the
materials and teaching, consequently may affect the learning and understanding. If the culture
and the society make the discrimination about the race color, age of the people, then this will
affect the learning of the students.
Educational backgrounds: It refers to the family backgrounds which affects the learning of the
student if the parents/partner of the learner supports and motivates the learner. The academic
performance of the learner affected by the behavior and educational support of the parents which
initiate the habits of learning.
8

B: Impact of different abilities on learning:
There are lots of abilities which affects the effective and efficient learning of the students in their
early stage and make them the good human being. Ability of reading, development of the skills
and analytical skills explains the strength of the learner that how they learn faster to improve
their academic performance. These abilities are explained below:
Reading ability: The ability of reading develops the social skills and capacity of learning in the
learner and improve their performance. The atmosphere and the environment in which the
learner grow up affects the ability to read.
Development of skills: When the students are leaning their skills must be developed at the same
time. Development of the skills impact by improving level of confidence, effective
communication skills, work as a team, making new and innovative ideas improves the strength of
people in the working (Ng and Klarsfeld, 2018).
Analytical skills: Analytical skills involves the people have the ability to deal with their
problems by giving examples and solution of the problems. It improves to learn how to become a
problem solver in the society and how to face the difficult situation of the society.
C: Barriers to equity and diversity and how they are relevant to our practices:
There are lots of barriers which affects Equality and Diversity. Which are a lack of opportunities
for the people to show their skills, discrimination, and harassment and peer pressure. These are
challenges for the people in their effective and efficient learning.
Lack of opportunities: When the students do not have the better opportunities in the working
areas, they cannot learn properly and it will affect their career and growth in the future (Nkomo
and Thatcher, 2019). Effective learning and knowledge of the students depends on the
opportunities which they have to showcase their skills in the working environment. For example
organizing the events and the activities that the students will learn more and move towards the
success of their career.
Harassment: It is also the biggest challenges for the students in their effective learning and
future growth. If the seniors of the students harass them then they got depressed and feel isolated
so that they cannot learn properly and effects them on the mental level. For example by taking
the serious action on the issues which harass the students and made the complaint to the principle
about the problem which is faces by the students.
9

Discrimination: the discrimination on the gender, age, colour etc. of the students have affects
leaning. If the students are neglected by their colour and age factors they feel demotivated and
have diverse effects on their performance because they cannot learn accurately so it is the major
problem in the learning of the students (Janssens and Steyaert, 2019). For example giving the
knowledge about the equality and discrimination to the students minimizes the problem which is
faced by the students due to their color, race, gender, age etc.
Peer pressure: if the pressure on the students are greater than they cannot tolerate and that can
affect their learning and decrease their level of leaning. For example by reducing the stress level
of the students by introducing the effective activities that they can involve in them and reduce the
level of the pressure.
I have come across harassment where an individual was harassing another pupil. I quietly spoke
with the student at break time, kindly advised them not to make comments or gestures towards
the harassed. I clearly stated that the institution have a strict policy on Harassment and the
implications of harassment, and this matter needs not to go further, if the offending individual is
cautioned informally. How to remove these barriers, can be done with minimal effort. When I
first meet a class I clearly emphasize that under no circumstances will the bold points above be
tolerated or ignored. This sets the tempo, and I as a teacher should make sure all learners feel
safe.
D: Systems to remove the barriers to equality and diversity:
There are various systems which helps to remove the barriers in the equality and diversity such
as responses from the feedback from students, motivates and encourages working the team,
effective and good practices should be shared and proper engagement of students.
Responding to feedback from the students: These barriers can be removed by giving
constructive response to feedback of students on their problems which they are facing in their
learning (Kato and Kodama, 2018). Appropriate response and take actions on that problems
motivate the students and brings improvement in their learning. For example a teacher should
listen to the problem of the students and take the significant action for solving the problem in the
learning providing it does affect safeguarding and breach of institution policy
10

Encouraging team working: Teamwork should be encouraged so that everybody could learn
through each other and brings the ability to fight against the barriers and improved their level of
performance. For example by organizing activities in the institute and fun games actitives where
team bonding, visiting the landmarks o can motivate and encourage the students to learn properly
and effectively.
Engagement of students: to remove these barriers every student have to engage in their own
working directly and brings various practices focus on their learning for the better future growth.
For example by engaging the students in the activities and events of the school and the colleges
the students become more focused in their learning and also improve their learning.
Sharing good practices: sharing the effective and efficient experiences with others and get the
feedback from them improve the learning of the students (Alexiadou and Essex, 2016). For
example by sharing their personal experience to the students and tells them about how to
overcome out from the difficult situation makes the learning of the students effective and
efficient.
TASK 3
A: Summarize the policy and regulatory frameworks relating to equality and diversity and
inclusive practice.
The legislation is the most important tool of government to manage and organize the society
and protect the people. The laws protect the rights of the people. According to Equality Act
2010, everybody has the right to get equal pay in organization according to their capabilities, sex
discrimination act posse equal rights to males and females, disability discrimination act posse the
equal right to disable person, Race relation act posse not to discriminate with people. These rights
of equality help the people to not feel different and no partiality between the people would take
place. Policies and Procedures of the organization are very important to be considered as the
policies and procedures related to the rules and regulations of the company which should be
obeyed by the employees, so it should be explained clearly to the employees (Brown, 2016). The
Equality of Opportunity is given to everyone, all the people should take the opportunity, it is
like the freedom. Quality Assurance procedure is about maintaining the quality of the services
provided, with respect to internal and external quality factors. The Workplace Regulation 1992
covers the health, safety and welfare issues, so the risk at the workplace is minimized. Criminal
Records Bureau checks if the individual has any spent or unspent convictions, warnings or
11

reprimands, cautions, a standard CRB check is sufficient. So it gives the brief about the person's
background, which is necessary for the organization.
Professional Standards for Teachers and Trainers in Education and Training.
This policy and regulatory framework relates to equality and diversity. The Education and
Training foundation has a certain set standards aimed at trainers and teachers to abide, when the
standards were implemented in 2014.
According to this policy individuals at the workplace should get equal rights, for example they
can get equal wages not depending on sex, gender religious beliefs etc. Diversity is everywhere
in the world at workplaces and organisation etc. People should not feel that they are different
from others as they possess the diversity in racism, language, culture. So they should be treated
with friendliness at such places. In an institution teachers should not differentiate amongst the
learner because it affects their physiological state in many senses.
Legislation: They are types of strategic system in place which commandingly commands the
laws set in stone, ensuring measures are actively engaged to encourage the practice of Equality.
For example
The Disability ACT which tightens and enforces right all individuals with regards to disability.
ETF professional standards.
The guidelines set out vivid expectations of ensuring effective practice in Education and Training.
This allows teachers and trainers to analyze own improvement. There are currently 20
professional standards which relate to the three areas
Professional attributes.
Professional knowledge and Understanding.
Professional skill.
B: What are the influences of the above on your organizational policies and own practice.
The influence of the policies on the organization in various ways, The Criminal Records
Bureau is necessary when a person comes to work in the organization, the background of the
employee should be verified through the police force. If any criminal activity is done by the
12

employee on record, this should be informed by the police, and saves the organization potentially
from risk of harm or wrong doing. In regards to the Organization's Policies and Procedures, the
employees should be well aware of the company's policies, so that no confusion may occur. The
Company should work in organized way. Staffing ratios should be managed in an organization
properly, like if there are more students so the customer care service executives ratio would be
accordingly (Coe, Wiley and Bekker, 2019). Marketing and promotion of the courses is done in
sensible way so no one is emotionally harmed and promotional activities would be in limits.
Every student should get equal rights in the organization, no partiality is done between the
employees. Like they get equal wages, no sex discrimination, and no partiality with disables, age,
race considers according to equality law. So that organization works smoothly, no barriers
between the employees.
The following study about the rights of individual in the organization spread awareness, the
people get knowledge about their rights, so they utilize their rights in right way. If anything wrong
is done with the people in the organization, they use their right and can fight for their right.
These policies influence the people in the organization in terms of their work and also they get
disturbed by breaking of these laws like an employee in the organization is appointed to teach
their students but due to its skin colour of the learner and their colleagues make fun of that
employee and it affect the mentality of the teacher. Also if the student get less encouragement
than others. This is considered as inequality for that particular person. So such practices
influences the mind of the victim. So following these policies is very necessary.
These policies have a strong impact as a teacher one of the major impact was the
awareness about the current legislations as there are various laws like right to equality,
discriminatory laws, etc which have affected me as a teacher. This policies has also helped me to
recognise my own roles as a teachers and what my responsibilities are. This has also cleared my
approach of teaching to the students and how to develop an inclusive environment.
C: Explain how working with other agencies can promote diversity
The students in the organization belongs to different culture, so the owner of the institution
should take decision to appoint the employees from cross culture, which affects the organization
in positive way. The employer should be well-known with different culture, languages, their
regional environment, helps most in the business. It enhances the diversity in the organization and
promote the globalization of the company. Working with other agencies helps to know better
13

about the environment of each other's region (Hemingway and Armstrong, 2016). They should be
aware of the policies and rules and regulations about the company. Suppose the students are new
to the business environment so the agencies working in this direction of welfare of the students
and get knowledge about their rights, their education right, their working right, their equality
rights, it is supposed to spread awareness among the people about their rights. If any student or
employee should get harmed or harassed by anyone in the organization, the welfare agencies help
them to come out and will protect their rights.
The major part of the organization to promote the diversity, while working with other
agencies like it provides the knowledge about their fields. Good liaising with other agencies can
promote the good working spirit and spread more awareness of technology in their workplace
(O'Donnell,2016). As the organization arrange specialist visits to workplace will improve the
quality of the work for many employees. As the employees in the organization work with the
students as they get intern in their organization should be limited, because as they are not paid
well, according to the rules as well. As the students join the companies as an apprentice or want
to complete their internship, the company hire them and provide the certificate, but they do not
pay them well and give those lots of tasks so that it affects the student's mind. The student will
feel nervous, as lack of the confidence in the student lead to failure. For such reasons students are
enabled to access support agencies. Students who contact with the agencies who help the
students to get a job, which is also beneficial and the students get opportunities to work outside
the country also. It enhances the diversity in workplaces.
If any person suffers from the inequality at their workplace, in terms of wages, mental harassment
or any other reason, it leads to criticism of that person so that person should go towards the social
workers to take help from them, as the people work for the welfare of the society and leads to
goodwill. They fight for the rights of the person, they help them to get justice as well. In my
teaching role I have invited police force to deliver a session and to advise students introduce the
current legislations and somewhat break the ice and discover many misunderstanding that may
build up in certain individuals and groups. They may also exhibit how promoting diversity
through their work can lead to a positive influence in the classroom.
The role of Equality and Human Rights Commission
Plays significant part in protecting people from discrimination. Encourages a strong relationship
14

with the community. The Public has confidence and more victims of crime are now more satisfied
because of the protection provided to them (Coe, Wiley and Bekker, 2019).
D: Reflect on how the promotion of equality and diversity can protect learners from risk of
harm
The promotion of the laws under equality and diversity protect the people from many risks of
harm. Imagine a new employee joined an organization and the polices and procedure are not
explained to him properly, this will lead to several confusions for the employee. The pay of the
employee might get suffered, if any clause about the pay is mentioned in the policy. So it brings
the confusion in employee's mind. The employees come from different region of the world to
work in the organization, so there is equal work opportunity given to him (Coe, Wiley and
Bekker, 2019). Students form outside of the country, takes admission in the organization and the
school provides extra grants or some discounts for their benefits but if the policies and
procedures are not explained to that student it will lead to confusion. So the student can get loss
of money as it have to pay full amount. Sometimes students get harmed by the teacher as the
teacher beats the students but it is illegal practice. So the policies and procedures should be
explained to the student properly. As a teacher I am committed to following policies and
procedures so that every member of staff must accept responsibility for the safeguarding of any
learner, and protect the risk of any physical, mentally or emotional harm or neglect. It supports us
to understand safeguarding. All staff adhere to the same procedure and allows us to be
accountable for what we do. Communicating with the institution to help them work effectively.
Understanding the roles and responsibilities we all must possess in safe guarding.
As a teacher I constantly remind learners must work in a safe environment. All of our staff must
feel as if a learner is safe, along with us teachers. The way we communicate, share information is
all in a safe manner. As a teacher we tackle discrimination by ensuring we promote equality and
diversity and there is no room to discriminate or be discriminated against, zero tolerance or
allowance towards tackling bullying or discrimination. We advise students to openly contact
student welfare, if no student is confident to speak to me personally. I will first observe behaviors
of student, put students in teams and observe any issues with students. I will also remind students
that there anonymity will be protected, and never shared out. I also will treat every learner
15

equally, and ensure we allow students to openly practice and celebrate their faith, gender or
beliefs.
The CRB check is important in context to secure the organization from hiring a wrong person, it
may risk the company's profile. If any discrimination held with somebody like in the school the
student faces the discrimination for example other student make fun of that student as it is
complexion is dark and teachers also support the other student it affects the mentality of that
student who suffers from discrimination as this will lose his confidence, in the organization may
lead to criminal offense, so the awareness about the discrimination with the people is needed. It
may be with respect to the wages, age, gender etc. In the organization the people may take load of
work and suffer from mental illness, whether there is also right for them, the employer can't force
the employee to work lot. Now in respect with rights of the students may affected with the
unawareness of the rights, may be some institution would not allow the poor students to complete
their academics in their organization, While every learner has right to educate (Peer and Reid,
2016). So the promotion of the equality and diversity helps many people to work according to
their rights.
Task 4
This task will help to provide information about inclusive learning environment. This task also
states the importance of inclusive learning and roles and responsibilities of promoting the
inclusive learning. There are some ways through which the inclusive learning can be promoted
and the learner based practices will also help to increase the understanding of the inclusion.
Inclusive environment is a type of an environment in which people feel respected and get
connected easily with each other. In Inclusive environment there exists a high level of
engagement which contribute towards group goals and objectives.
An importance to promote an inclusive learning environment.
It is very important to spread this kind of learning to the learner or the students because this
will make them prepare not just for classroom settings, but for everyday life and work
professions, and individual growth too. This can be achieved when the students are given proper
care and guidance.
Motivating your student
16

It is very important for any organization or school to collaborate with the students, if
students are not motivated in life. If the students are motivated then the students will have a clear
path in life, and they will be able to engage with the school activities even more. The students
will know what they want in life and what they should be doing and what their future plans are in
life. The student who will be under me will be motivated by achievements or celebration for at
least trying or putting in their best in a work they were allotted. Students will be treated equally
by me so that they all feel that they are very important in their own ways in the school. Example
by giving the certificates for every achievement and also giving students importance of learning.
Celebrating Achievements
It is very important for the student when their achievement is celebrated in the school and
home because they feel more motivated in doing that thing again and again so that they are
motivated. Students get really motivated if they are appreciated for the work they do and if they
are not appreciated then they will not do well again and the performance can fall. I will make
sure that the students which I have to take care of will be appreciated and motivated for doing the
kind of work they are doing (Richards and Armstrong, 2016). Achievement or no achievement
the students will get a chance to celebrate and no one will be demotivated. By giving positive
feedback/appraisal and also motivating the students to learn more.
Creating a positive attitude
Winning and losing is a part of life and the student who will be under my guidance will be
very well aware of this fact because it is very important to always have a positive attitude.
Positive attitude can make one reach the success which others cannot achieve and my students
will very well be aware of that fact because it is very important for the world outside, and they
will have to have this attitude outside. For example by welcoming the students to the class with
the welcome sign boards.
Respect for others
This is a very important factor that the students must learn and understand because until the
students don’t know how respect one another, they will not be able to work as a team and in the
classroom or in the outside world. It is very important for the students to understand that. Outside
of the classroom, requirements of the students to work as a team when they join businesses or
any other organization because it is never a one man army but every individual is important to
get success. Respecting one another they will be able to work better and efficiently. For example
17

the as a teacher I will encourage the students to communicate with all the students in the class
and then also teach how to communicate and respect them with the help of drawings and
illustrations.
B
Roles and responsibilities of promoting
Introduction- There are various roles and responsibilities which is being required in promoting.
These roles and responsibility can include factors such as following organizational policies,
importance of boundaries and many more. This includes following:
Responsibility for own actions
The students will be given individual assignments and group assignment so that they can
make sure that they can work in both the conditions so that the students are aware of the work
they have to get. The responsibilities get in both the activities are different from one another and
the students must be willing to do both. Only motivation and encouragement can make the
students get what they should be achieving in life.
Following organizational policies
There are a lot of rules and regulations in the outside world and one must make sure that
the individual is following those because it is very important for the students to understand
before they enter the outside world. There are a lot of rules and regulations within the
organization which they already are in and following those will make the students aware.
Importance of boundaries
The students must know there boundaries and limits so that they find it easy for living in
the outside world. Institution and I will prepare the students to face the outside world and make it
as easy for them to live in. as a teacher I have boundaries as well as students. I have both
personal and professional boundaries. Maintain standards and be responsible for their actions.
Considering learners, colleagues, the education institution and other professional relationships.
Boundaries will set limits and give teachers a better scope of what their teaching consist of. You
define your duties as a teacher, and need to be professional at all times, not over friendly but
friendly is usually acceptable.
18

Teachers should use caution when disclosing personal information. Teachers should be aware
that students can face difficulties in learning or sickness and attendance. A teacher might not be
the right person to go to due to limitations, hence why a referral either internally or externally
where a person or group will be assigned to him/her to help them with learning. It is imperative
that at all times must the institution be notified and Professionalism is held in the highest regard
at this point.
Encouraging self and peer assessment
It is very important me as a teacher to appreciate the work of the student so that they want to do
that thing again and again because that was a positive work in the progress of education. It is
analyzed that students who are appreciated and encouraged from their teachers they are able to
do much better in the school. As a teacher the main function would be to create the
understanding about the rules and regulations of the classroom and also teach what ethical right
is and what is not. It is also important to create a professional relation with the students.
C .Ways to promote inclusion
Following organization policies and procedures
There are many ways in which the company can promote inclusion. The organization must
promote inclusion by forming policies and procedures, these policies and procedures should be
formed keeping in mind that there is no discrimination on the basis of caste, religion, sex, color
etc., any of this discrimination issue which comes across should be reported directly to the upper
level management so that necessary action can be taken to tackle these. If any employee is facing
bullying issues, then there must be proper source so that the employee facing these issue can
communicate to the upper level management.
Confronting issues of bullying
Inclusion can also be promoted by empowering students, this includes giving your students
a voice through forums for the student feedback, give students decision-making power in the
area of curriculum. The companies should encourage the practices carried on by the employees
within an organization like make employees feel important, be an emphatic leader, and automate
the inclusive process. The teacher have to provide the warning and also expelled the students for
19

sometimes. It also depends on the degree of the bully the student have conducted. The teacher
can also ask the student to something embarrassing in the classroom to team them lesson.
Rewarding successes
The organization should reward the success whenever any employee report any such
practices going on this will help in encouraging those employees who are afraid of reporting
such things. The teachers who reward the students it is noticed that the same students and the
other students in the class want to receive that reward for doing better so all of them try their best
to achieve that. For example, mementos, constant compliments to students, certificate, appraisal
as a monitor and appreciation in the whole classroom or school. I usually tell the students their
on track, give them positive feedback and areas for improvement. I regard the student higher if
they make the effort, they put in the work and for this the learner will reap the rewards and be
advised to continue studying.
Positive attitude
There should always be a positive attitude toward the employees of the organization, make
better connection and make them feel important so that the employees feel safe working in the
company. The company should always provide emotional support to the individual who have
suffered anything like this before so that they remain positive and motivated to work for the
organization. The teacher have to appreciate all the students as how they are and also treat them
as a friend not as a teacher. It starts from the moment you enter the classroom before you have a
class. Acknowledge all student and greet them, this will set the tempo for the rest of the learning
day. I do a class discussion for a few minutes to engage as many learners just so people can feel
relaxed, but still determined. I ensure that my energy as a teacher must be a positive one, and be
it known, any negative attitudes must be left at door before entering the classroom.

D. Individual learner and their practices provides to learner along with information.
Introduction- There are four action which enhances values of individual learners and their
practices provides to learner along with information. These action makes learner energetic and
enhance performance at workplace. Actions are-
ICE BREAKERS
Icebreaker is a facilitated exercise which assists individual people to adjust into a team and it is a
type of game which warms up the learners to know each-other and this action supports learner
how to behave with other team member at workplace (Richards and Armstrong, 2016). Learner
learns how to work as team. It assists to communicate with other people without hesitation.
Ice breaker examples.
Forming groups introducing students, asking students to say something about themselves…
Name, reason for being there, three things about the learner. It’s to combat nervousness and
anxiety. Where individuals have the chance to get to know one another better. You could also
have a bring and share of food, where people interact in party settings, embracing diversity
and culture
INTRINSIC MOTIVATION
A learner can motive intrinsically if a person learns new activities like new language, sports.
Skill envelopment classes or any task which makes person happy and enhance confidence
regrading new activities. Through new activities learner can perform task in academic year
which gets him praise from other competitors. Thus, a learner can motivate himself intrinsically.
EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION
Money, desired goal achievement, praises etc. external motivation which promotes learner to
motivate extrinsically. A learner motivate during internship. For example, if a learner comes for
internship, and his performance is good (Peer and Reid, 2016). In that state company rewards as
money which encourages him and motivates to give the best performance during internship.
Thus, learner can motivate extrinsically.
21

CULTURAL AND SOCIAL VALUES
Cultural and social values plays important role to inspire individual learner to builds good
relationship with peoples. In academic year makes understand about social and cultural
behaviour. Where individual learner can develop communication skills and can develop cultural
behaviour. Thus, learner can motivate himself in learning stage e.g. cultural days, food fair;
where students can celebrate one another’s culture
It can be said that all above four mentioned points can be prove effective practices for learning
like ice-breaker can help in removing of hesitation among the team and proper language should
be used which is clear and understandable. The information which is provided is current and
accurate. It is also vital for teacher to identify the needs of the students and develop a proper
management strategies to meet out these needs.
TASK 5
A. Relationship between Own role and other professionals
As a mentor I have some important roles in performing inclusive practices and also help
the people to understand the responsibilities for themselves.
Liaising in-house
I also have to be humble and considerate while talking about the issues or concerns in regards to
him/her. I also have to teach my students how to communicate with the person from which you
have to use a service with, very important for us.
Seeking guidance from the professionals
As a mentor I also have to update in my knowledge so that I can also help my students to
increase their knowledge and also provide them, with the proper skills (van Gestel, Kuiper and
Hendrikx, 2019). In my opinion there is no particular age the gain knowledge as the information
in the environment is changing rapidly.
Acknowledging own limitations
I have to acknowledge my own limitation which will also give me a better understanding
that what are my capabilities and what can I do to increase them. As a mentor I want to provide a
22

better education to my students and for that I have to know my negative habits so that I don't
pass on that to my students and make them like myself as well (Harvey and et.al., 2019).
Limitation for me is nothing and it also motivates me to learn something from it and it also helps
me by challenging that I can be something better by pushing my own limitation and increase my
skills. For example ask a student to complete the homework on their own and give them tough
tasks so that they can learn their limitation that where they fail. If this proves to challenging I can
refer learner for extra support or to the right person to guide the learner towards education and
good grades
B. Needs of the learners
Organization resources
I also have to understand what are the resources which are necessary for the organization
to do its activities and also increase its productivity. The managers should also understand the
importance of human resources and also other resources which are import to increase the
efficiency of the company. Organizational resources are all assets that a corporation has available
to use in the production process (McDougall, 2015). There are four basic types of organizational
resources: human resources, capital resources, monetary resources and raw materials.
Organizational resources are combined and used to create finished products.
Tutorial support
It is very important for any learner to have a mentor because the perfection comes when
there is someone to take control on the learner and can tell the learner where they are going
wrong (Tung, 2017). Having a mentor or a tutorial is a really nice thing because if learn is not
able to understand something then they can take the help of the mentor to come to know.
Counseling
It is very important for learn to have counselor over them because they will be able to
have a guidance for themselves as to what they want to do with this knowledge they have
received. The counselor will be like a mentor because they will be able to know what knowledge
they will have to receive and what will it help them with in future.
C. Strategies that you used to liaise with the professionals involved
Introduction- There are various strategies that can be used by professionals to get involved with
the students. These can include the following:
23

Regular contact
I can remain professionally involved by communicating to my colleague and remain in
contact with him so that I don't miss out any detail on any project given to me. In this way I will
always be informed about the ongoing activities in the organization. I can use phone, email etc.,
to know these details and remain in contact with him.
Meetings
I can attend all the meetings that occur in the organization so that I remain updated with
the important issues of the organization and can give any valuable suggestions to the top-level
management. It is very important to attend these meetings because it will update me and I will be
able to work more efficiently.
Follow-up
I can follow up any feedback given to me by the lower level and pass these to my superior
so that they can contact the upper level about these issues. I can keep other informed about any
of the key issues that the organization is facing so that they can help if they want to.
TASK 6
A: Demonstrate how you promote equality and diversity through a Lesson Plan.
If teachers has to make lesson plan first they must explain what is the meaning of equality
and diversity. Then they must provide them the knowledge that how they can apply this on
people. Equality and Diversity can't be achieve in one day so they must explain how they should
apply this in their daily life so this must be a lesson plan which teacher should provide to their
students.
B: Define organizational culture.
The organizational culture is a system of shared values, beliefs, assumptions which is
governed by the people, who is working in the organization. The behavior of the people in
organization matters. And these shared values in the organization influence the behavior of the
people, like they consider each other behavior, how they act and react on the topics, how they
dressed up, and their performance. So these things are the subject to concern. The culture of
organization depicts the policies of the organization to be followed and work in appropriate way.
The rules and regulations of the organization should be followed by the employees (Sheehan and
Anderson, 2015). The working environment possess lot of diversity but to maintain the
24

differences, the people should communicate with each other and cross culture should be
followed. It enhances the motivation of work among the people. As working in the organization
the employee should be clear about his roles and responsibilities. The task given to the employee
with deadlines, should be accomplished within the deadline by the employee. And completion of
task is important on time. The employees should communicate properly about their tasks. Else it
would lead to confusion.
Organizational culture of learning environment should be equal as the task culture is adopted, the
students should get the projects on the basis of their efficiency, their talent and specialization so
that they do the task will full efforts and innovative ideas. They resolve the issues with mutual
understanding. Also they should do work in role culture so that it helps the organization to give
the admission to eligible student who is talented. So that, they learned with their own capabilities
and efficiency. So the equality and diversity is adopted at organization to enhance the talent.
Students should get appreciation on the basis of talent and their working efforts.
C: Give examples of how your own behaviour impacted negatively and positively on the
organization culture.
As working in the organization as an employee, our behavior plays an important role to be
identified in the organization. As the organizational culture is a system of shared values and
shared beliefs and assumptions set. There may be positive or negative as an impact of my
behavior. If my behavior in concerning with other employees, my colleagues will not respect me
will not like me, and don't want to face me. Also, if I don't work properly and don't complete the
task on time, the belief of the supervisor on me, will be lost, and he will not give me important
task to handle.
Now come to the positive side of my behaviour in the organization, first of all my good
nature will be considered by the other employees and more over I will build their beliefs on me,
so that they can come to me with their problems, and maybe I am able to give proper solutions.
As if I do my work on time, this would make trust on me from my supervisors.
The clients handled by me should be happy with my opinions which I convey and deal with
them, so it leaves a good impact on employee from the organization and profit the organization.
For example my own behaviour affects the organisational culture, like if I do discrimination
among other employees, it will certainly lead to negative impact of mine on other. This also
means that I not able to carry out my roles and responsibilities in an effective manner.
25

On the other hand if I support equality and diversity workplace, like I don't provoke other people
to make fun of anybody, it will lead to good image and will help in developing a positive culture
similarly if I promote the employees on the basis of its performance without any discrimination it
can develop a positive culture.
Another example is that of I am sharing and promoting good practices within the organisation.
I am willing to provide various opportunities to people in an organisation which can help in
improving the organisational culture as people feel they are valued in the workplace.
CONCLUSION
From the above study it can be concluded that the equity and diversity focuses top improve the
level of performance of the students. Understanding of each and every individual are different
from each other and also their ability of leaning is also different. There are various barriers which
affects the learning of the students like the lack of opportunities, harassment and discrimination of
age, gender, color. There are various laws and regulations which have impact on the equity and
diversity. For the promotion of the inclusion and learning environment have various roles and
responsibilities. There are different actions which is used to value the individual learner.
