York
College have created
a booklet that aims
to explain what Equality
and Diversity means
and helps you think
about your own attitudes
to others and your
perceptions of people
you meet on a daily
basis. We would also
like you to think
about the attitudes
of others around you
and let you know what
the law says, and
what you can do to
help yourself and
others to be fair
to everyone.
Test
yourself with our
Equality and Diversity
Challenge and see
how much you know?
(For
a copy of this booklet
please email equalityanddiversity@yorkcollege.ac.uk,
please note that currently
this booklet is only
available to York
College learners and
staff.)
