Wellbeing at Hartpury 2021

Hartpury is a diverse place. There is a mix of ethnicities and some strong cultural beliefs. We don’t have to agree with each other all the time. Getting into discussions about things can be moreinteresting when we don’t agree. We all have the right to our own opinion and our own identity. We are all unique and that’s what makes life so interesting. Living in a diverse society means understanding how people are different in all sorts of ways. For example gender, disability, age, race, beliefs, religion, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership. But as well as diversity, we need equality. That means treating everyone the same. The law says that everyone, including young people, should have equal rights no matter who they are. These laws help protect people at school, college, university and at work in particular. Some people do not treat others as equals - this means they discriminate against people because they’re different. If you are the victim of discrimination, it’s good to know how and where you can get help.
