8 Benefits of Diversity –

Language

Language is a great way of expressing diversity as we come together as one community and share a variety of different spoken languages. The more languages we learn the better connected we become. Learning and sharing different languages such as English, French, Spanish, German and even Japanese can help everyone to embrace and appreciate diversity. Sugar and spice day care centre is very sensitive to the way everyone communicates at the centre through language and provides interpreters as so necessary to clients who need them.

The arts

The arts show everyone a difference in cultures and help us to understand the cultures from all around the world. Seeing things like museums, exhibitions, plays and films made in other countries not only intrigues people but also educates them as well, all these things help us appreciate ‘difference’ and is a way of bringing diversity to a wide audience. The sugar and spice day care centre may mostly have African and Caribbean people but they sure are eager to watch films from other countries and making use of the art and drama facility they can also learn more about different cultures and enjoy it too.

Food

Food is a very tasteful way to promote diversity. Food from all over the world such as India, China and the Caribbean create a multicultural society which everyone can enjoy. The sugar and spice day care centre provides cooking facilities which brings the elderly people together learning to cook different things they are not use to and learning the secrets and great tastes of other cultures.

Education

Education in schools and colleges has increased its value in diversity as they get more involved with different cultures, religions and beliefs. Also schools and colleges offer people the chance to learn a new language which is a great benefit if you would like to travel. The manager of sugar and spice has recently attended a conference on ‘understanding how national initiatives promote anti-discriminatory practice in health and social care’ she now wants all this information passed on to staff and is planning to run some workshops.

Social cohesion

A community that sticks together provides safety and understanding the environment. Learning to accept everyone in your community is very important no matter what your background is. Accepting everyone helps things to work and run smoothly. Community can be formed from ethnicity like sugar and spice day care centre which is made up of mostly African and Caribbean ethnicity but a social cohesion like this makes it easier for them to communicate with each other and stick together and form a strong bond.

Employment and expertise

Many organisations realise that their customers come from a wide range of diverse backgrounds so employing a diverse amount of employers would attract the right attention. Some of the sugar and spice staff have gone through educational training and have received NVQ care training as well as training on how to promote anti-discriminatory practice within the care home and understanding different concepts of equality, diversity and rights.

Tolerance

Tolerance is a very important quality to have when working in health and social care. Tolerance is a good way to promote diversity because you may come across people that do not share the same views as you do or people you don’t get along with but that’s just life and we have to accept it and this is why it is important to maintain maturity and profession. The sugar and spice day care centre ensures that equality and diversity is promoted amongst all clients and by all staff also making sure everyone’s views are acknowledged.

Religion

Religion can also promote diversity as people from different cultures may share the same beliefs as someone from another culture. Religion can connect people in a good way and they can be happy to share their beliefs with others such as a Buddhist may share their beliefs with a Christian and they can both learn things they didn’t know and accept their reasons of beliefs. The sugar and spice day care centre have people all living together that have different beliefs this can influence them to learn about different cultures and beliefs.
