Equality and diversity

Our project is to select a subject from the areas associated with the theme of 'equality and diversity'. We need to create 2/3 images that promote awareness/celebration. These are going to be shot in the studio.

'The Equality Act 2010 replaced all previous equality legislation such as the Race Relations Act, Disability Discrimination Act and Sex Discrimination Act. It also provides some changes about which schools need to be aware.
The Equality Act 2010 provides a single, consolidated source of discrimination law, covering all the types of discrimination that are unlawful. It simplifies the law by removing anomalies and inconsistencies that had developed over time in the existing legislation, and it extends the protection from discrimination in certain areas.' - http://www.education.gov.uk
Subjects associated with the theme of 'equality and diversity' are -
  • Gender
  • Disability 
  • Race
  • Religion
  • Faith and belief
  • Age
  • Sexuality
