Legislation and codes of practice related to equality, diversity, and discrimination set the standards for fair treatment in the workplace. Employers are required to comply with these laws to ensure equal opportunities for all employees regardless of their background. This includes promoting diversity, preventing discrimination, and taking steps to address any issues related to equality in the workplace.
In the United States, laws such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Equal Pay Act address equality, diversity, and discrimination. Additionally, The Code of Federal Regulations Title 29, which includes regulations on equal employment opportunity, and the fair housing laws protect against discrimination based on factors like race, gender, disability, religion, and national origin. Employers are also expected to follow guidelines set by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and promote diversity and equality in the workplace.
Discrimination exists in many countries around the world. Some countries are known to have higher levels of discrimination based on factors such as race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. This can manifest in various forms such as unequal treatment, stereotypes, and barriers to opportunities. Promoting equality and combating discrimination is a global challenge that requires ongoing effort and commitment.
De jure discrimination refers to discrimination that is mandated by law, such as racial segregation policies in the past. De facto discrimination refers to discrimination that exists in practice, even if not specifically mandated by law, such as racial disparities in education or employment. Examples of public policies designed to address de jure discrimination include civil rights legislation, while policies to address de facto discrimination may include affirmative action programs.
In the care sector, legal requirements include following equality and anti-discrimination laws, respecting individuals' rights to communicate in their preferred language, and providing appropriate support for those with communication limitations. Organizations must create policies and training programs that promote diversity, accommodate different communication needs, and ensure staff are aware of and respect individuals' preferences. This is essential for providing person-centered care that respects individuals' rights and promotes inclusivity and dignity.
Discrimination that is not legally sanctioned is known as social discrimination. This type of discrimination occurs in social interactions, institutions, or cultural practices without being explicitly written into laws or policies.
Inclusive practice includes all factions instead of limiting the scope of the practice. As a result, diversity is accomplished. Only with diversity can equality be gained for all.
Inclusive practice also involves having an understanding of the terrible effects of discrimination and being able to challenge discrimination in a positive way when it occurs. Therefore, inclusive practice directly promotes and supports equality and diversity because it treats all individuals fairly and acknowledges, values and respects their differences.
Some people consider these requirements to enforce "positive discrimination" and think they do more harm than good. Others consider them as way of helping the disadvantaged and disprivileged get a head start. The issue is highly controversial.

“Inclusive practice promotes equality and supports diversity by ensuring that everyone has access to care, treatment, services, housing, education, and employment.”
Non discriminatory practice is practice which avoids discrimination and instead values diversity and encourages multiculturalism and individuality.

de facto means 'concerning fact' or 'in reality'. So de jure (concerning law) equality would mean equality in law (but not necessarily in fact) and de facto equality would mean equality in practice. A good real life example is race relations in the US. The 1965 Civil Rights Act ended de jure discrimination and inequality in America, but de facto discrimination and inequality persisted.
