Learners are living in an increasingly diverse society and having to encompass different cultures, races and ethnicities. This can bring many advantages in terms of different experiences in foods/drinks, literature, language and customs but can also result in difficulty in maintaining own cultural identity and keeping own traditions alive.

The OCN NI qualifications in Diversity and Good Relations have been designed to provide learners with an understanding of the importance of diversity and good relations. It helps learners become more aware of diverse groups and the importance of respect within them. Learners will have a better understanding of what is meant by prejudice and discrimination and will recognise the value of equal opportunities
legislation.
