Equality and Diversity ~(Dicrimination act)

Equality and Diversity issues ( Discrimination Act 1995)

The Equality Act 2010. The Equality Act became law in October, 2010. It replaced previous legislation (such as the Race Relations Act 1976 and the Disability Discrimination Act 1995) and ensures consistency in what employers and employees need to do to make their workplaces a fair environment and comply with the law. The unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex, religion.

The equality act was made in 2010 this was so that people will stop discriminating against people’s race, age or the sex, peoples religion and peoples sexual orientation.

The reason why this could cause issues, as we are using dolls we can not discriminate against their race such as the race of them. The reason that this could become problematic because people may feel as if they are discriminating against colour so we will have to find dolls with diverse colours such as black and white dolls. Also due to the fact that we have more than one race within our college so therefore this is needed to showcase the different races that we have in our college.

 Age will not be an issue due to the fact that we are using dolls and they all look of the same age however if we add younger dolls then this will look to childish due to the fact that we are already using dolls which is already childlike.


We will have many different types of dolls in our ident we will add male and female dolls, the reason for this is to show equality between the different sex’s within our college. 

Religion can also become a problem if we do not showcase other religoions. The college is a Catholic college however we will showcase other religons. These is very useful due to the fact that we will not be discriminating against other religions.With the dolls we an show case diffrent religoions by dressing the dolls up into the diffrenent attire for instance to showcase a Muslim religion there will be a turban on the dolls head and to display Christianity we will try and show the dolls with the sign of the cross around their necks.
