The UK has historically included people from different parts of the world, different communities and cultures. What has changed over time is the number of identified or self-identifying communities that exist and how we value and treat people within our society.

As society changes and becomes more diverse, we need to look for positive ways to manage that change to make our society benefit everyone.  One solution is to bring people together by embracing the wider diversity that exists. In contrast to Equalities which is covered by the Equalities Act 2010, embracing diversity is about valuing who we are; celebrating our differences and celebrating what we have in common.
