Diversity describes the range of both visible and non-visible differences between individuals. Equal opportunities has been considered as comprising various strands underpinned by law, age, religion and belief, disability, gender, race and sexual orientation. Ward (2008, p. 209) argues that human rights serve important functions for forensic psychologists in that they orientate practitioners 'to the necessary conditions for a formally worthwhile life for service users'. Within the United Kingdom (UK) there was a raft of legislation that recognized and prohibited discrimination based on race, gender, and so on. Research on unequal treatment has highlighted the inadequacies of the prison system in handling women offenders, particularly in relation to suicide and self-harm, and revictimization through bullying or sexual assault. Within the UK, employment tribunals are a distinctive remedy in law which seek to adjudicate between employers and employees over matters such as unfair dismissal, unauthorized deduction of pay and discrimination claims.
