Introduction Equality, difference and diversity Gender Sexual orientation Older people Celebrating disability Learning disabilities Class Race and ethnicity Faith and religion Conclusion
Social workers must develop a sensitive yet informed approach when working with service users from different social and cultural groups. In many aspects of life, including accessing human services, people are marginalised, ignored, stigmatised or discriminated against because of one or more aspects of their identity: age, sexual orientation, faith or belief, gender, race or ethnicity, social class, and disability.
