Inclusion:- Being included within a group or society as a whole. Individuals can feel excluded if
they are not allowed to join in with certain activities so you should make sure you work in an
inclusive way where everyone has the opportunity to take part when they want to.

or group of people based on their difference. You should ensure that you treat all individuals
fairly and equally regardless of their character or background.
