Equality and diversity as management issues
Organisations lose out on skills and competencies held by those whose lives and educational history have been difficult – those for whom success at work could be a valuable asset and contribution

It liberates and engages all individuals by creating a mainstream culture that fosters belonging and participation.

Vision Six + Thinking hats - Edward de bono
Narrowing the field of recruitment and promotion limits the skills base. And it restricts the expression of invaluable qualities such as empathy, creativity, motivation, self-reliance and sociability.

Clients are victims, have deficiencies and are weak
Individuals have strengths
Minorities are deprived and have needs
Communities have capacities, assets and power
Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. M Mead

Professor John West-Burnham NCSL
