Lessons 24 Who is Protected by the Legislation? Learning Intentions Students will understand who is protected by the equality/ anti-discrimination legislation Resources Large Grounds Sheet for your jurisdiction on either page 90 or 91 photocopied and enlarged to A3 if possible. Copies of the Cards on page 92 or 91, one complete set for each group of 3-4 students NB Please Read the Notes on the Grounds/Groups on page 88 before commencing the activity. Activity Who does the Legislation protect? Explain to the students that the equality/anti-discrimination legislation in both jurisdictions aims to do two things: Protect people from discrimination or harassment Promote equality in society The legislation however, only covers discrimination or harassment on the basis or the ground of belonging to a particular group in society, for example, male or female. The ‘Grounds’, as they are called in Ireland, or membership of certain groups, offer protection in certain circumstances, but not all, and the grounds or groups differ slightly between the two jurisdictions. (Note that in Ireland, all of the grounds are included within the Equality Acts, whereas in Northern Ireland specific acts apply to specific groups. See summary of the legislation in Lesson 26) Divide the class into threes or fours. Give each group a set of the cards on page 92 and a copy of the grounds or groups for your jurisdiction. Ask the students to take each card in turn and to decide which ground or group that person would fit into. Note that some people do not fit into any of the grounds and those cards should be left in a separate pile. (You could run this as a competition to see which pair will complete the sorting first).The answers are given on page 89. When they have finished, ask for volunteers to report on who they have included under the various grounds or groups. Then ask them to think about why some groups of people are not included in the legislation and see if they can think of sECTION 4 1 Equality EXPLORING and DIVERSITY the Law 87
