Champion Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

Equality
Equality is to treat everyone as individuals, whatever their disability, age, gender, religion, belief, culture and sexual orientation.

Diversity

Inclusion
Inclusion is to incorporate all the above in our environment to participate in play and learning, to promote positive outcomes and the opportunity to grow and develop, to feel valued and empowered to succeed.
