Equality and Diversity in the Lifelong Learning Sector

A key text for those taking the CTLLS or DTLLS optional unit ′Equality and Diversity′.

This is a valuable guide for new/existing teachers or those taking the unit as part of a qualification. Examples, activities and checklists within the book help you to link theory to practice. The book could also be used when providing in-service professional development to staff.
It is a comprehensive text, covering:
*the Equality Act 2010; advancing equality and valuing diversity;
*demonstrating appropriate behaviour;
*helping and supporting others;
*reviewing your own contribution to equality and diversity;
*relevant legislation.
