learner in enabling more learning and effective working environment in more effective manner.

against entire policies organisation and practice as being an Equality and Diversity coordinator in

promoting equality across entire teaching parts.
My practices reflection as per the policies will prove more suitable for my learner and
myself. When learner feel more practices and good experiences, they can become more
appropriate for learner and institution. With good acceptance, this can proven more beneficial.
Vice Versa, my practices and activities will not reflect the procedure and policies, this present
the learner's effective. This will convey shortcomings that can lead to more bad reputation along
with lose in their reputation and acceptance in the society. Hence, my positive toward diverged

workforce and better activities can lead better culture of company. I am more concerned toward
nature and diverged nature of organisation.
Promote your school’s Equality and Diversity agenda
Working with distinct agencies has various elements in diversity promotion. This can
carry out inclusiveness concept in the large concept of society.
 For example, if the police force member deliver session over the laws and legislation,
they can easily explain the meaning of diversity and equality to people. Educational fair

procedure in more effective style. Hence, other agencies can perform and operate various
practices through which they can promote diversity. MORE
TASK 4
Practical steps that a school can take to promote and ensure a culture of Equality and Diversity in
its wider community and society
As a professor, this should be in my knowledge that what are the activities and action
which can and are undermining diversity and equality within the institution. There are numerous
practices discrimination, limits of language, bullying, confrontation, harassment, social
inequality, cultural and religious tension etc. Hence, these are the actions that create more
inequality and undermine their diverged and equal society from an individual or students in the
institution. This is fundamental for institution to make certain whether this factors or actions
exist and resolve the issue for making changes appropriately. Various steps and methods can be
carried out by an institution or an school in order to form more equality and diversity in their
4

current system hindering various barrier that are undermining them. They can prepare proper
terms and guidelines with certain regulation through state. This is required to examine those
rules and policies in various manner. Here are mentioned some procedure that school can
undertake to promote society and diversity: Modification of Education System: Through the assistance of inclusion of diversity and
equality within the working framework, schools can not only aid in promoting diversity
in schools and communities but also aid in modifying entire social system and
framework. Socio-economic Status and Performance: This is fundamental as this can helps in

different events related to other cultures along with including different language in
syllabus that can help in involvement of these terms in wider level in society and distinct
communities.

The effective and educational environment which can help in achieving entire students,
females and male fairly. While promoting the equality and diversity within the working
organisation, there are several practices, as a teacher I have implemented and keep in practices in

numerous practices in their daily routine that can promote equality and diversity but due to some
causes and less modification in the working culture of school, enterprise can amend and modify
6

various practices that can help in achieving their educational organisation. In order to promote
both terms diversity and equality within their working organisation, this can be claimed that
culture of school play major role within the transformation. Promote skills and abilities: Despite working over the racism and promote
discrimination, through adoption of techniques where students are given prioritise on the
basis of their talents and skills that is one way that can lead to diversity and equality.

regulations qualify by the state. This can adhere to numerous conflicts and issues from the
workplace and society. As I am have more effective interpersonal and communication skills, this
can impact on valuing each and every individual. This can increase awareness and lead to
required intervention needed for better and more diverged workplace. This can challenge the
basic discrimination within the working environment leading to development in the accessibility
of learnings. This also lead to sharing of better practices, expertise knowledge and provide better
ideas and knowledge. Through measuring, managing and administrating the practices, I have
carried out various changes, influenced by fellow for inclusion of diversity and equality within
the school.
Hence, the entire practices and activities influence as more creative and diverged
institution and students nature. These operations can help in emerging the working environment
in more effective manner leading to more evolution and development to the organisation. I,
