Equality and Diversity: Realising all of our potential Gary Loke Head of Policy, ECU

Our work Equality Challenge Unit (ECU) works to further and support equality and diversity for staff and students in higher education institutions across the UK and in colleges in Scotland.

Equality and diversity =What does equality and diversity mean to you

Examples I am not from Edinburgh ….this means that right now I find travelling around Edinburgh confusing …. so I need clear instructions about how to get to places and maps. I have a young child …. this means that I am less flexible with my time than other students …. so I need to work with people who stick to plans and show up on time.

Equality in the law =Age =Gender =Race =Religion and belief (including no belief) =Sexual orientation =Disability =Marriage and civil partnership =Gender Identity (trans people) =Pregnancy and maternity

In-groups and out-groups Factors of influence might be: =physical characteristics (for example, age, gender, race) =shared interests and hobbies (for example, sport, music, gardening) =similar lifestyle (for example, having children, caring responsibilities or pets) =similar background (for example, being from the same place, having a similar family background, having studied at the same institution)

In-groups and out-groups We have natural tendencies to prefer people who are like us In-groups are people that we feel safer and more comfortable around and who we may treat more favourably Out-groups are people that we feel less safe and comfortable around and who we might treat dismissively or disdainfully
