where everyone can participate and has the same opportunity to fulfil their potential. Equality is backed by law and

is designed to address unfair discrimination which is based on

membership of a particular group.We all have the right to be treated equally!

of visible and non-visible ways. It is about creating a culture and

practices that recognise, respect and value difference.
