Extended Diploma and Subsidiary Diploma.

Hi Level 3 students.
The following should help you to do a better job of Task 1 of the citizenship and diversity unit.
There is some very useful information for all of you, if you read on. 

Task 1. 
P1, P2 and P3
A few of you have asked me about the P2 criteria for Task 1. This requires you to Discuss the key concepts associated with Diversity.  This mean you need to define the concepts (ideas) and talk about what you think it means to society and to you personally.  You need to choose at least 4 or 5 terms that are specifically relevent to diversity and go into a more detailed discussion about them.   For P1 you should explain the meanings associated with at least 18 of the following:

1. Harassment
2. Victimisation
3. Disability
4. Direct and indirect discrimination
5. Racism
6. Multiculturalism
7. Sexism
8. Homophobia
9. Integration
10. Tolerance
11. Rights and responsibilities
12. Apartheid
13. Segregation
14. Positive action (in relation to recruitment)
15. Religion
16. Social Class
17. Corporate social responsibility
18. Equality
19. Prejudice
20. Equal opportunities
21. Ethnocentricity
22. Institutional Racism

This can form a seperate leaflet if you want and you should use illustrations to support your ideas. If you have already handed in your task 1 but you don't think you have addressed all these concepts then you should produce an additional illustrated leaflet covering this criteria.  For P1 you need to explain what is meant by the above terms.  For P2 you should discuss them including what you think about them.  What do they mean to you as a citizen?


For P3, all you need to do is assess the benefits of good citizens to the public services and society in respecting equality.  In this bit you need to talk about our responsibilities as citizens. e.g. volunteering (what opportunities are there for volunteering localy), serving the community (e.g. PCSOs, Life Boat, DofE), protecting the environment etc.  Think about how you can become involved these sort of things locally.
