Health and Social Care
Adil Mombrikotb.
Outcome 1
Explain what is meant by. Diversity | Diversity means differences in ethnicity, heritage, customs, beliefs and values. It could be someone’s physical appearance, mental capabilities, etc. I have been taught that personal identity which is formed from a young age allows you to realise you are their own person. Diversity is positive and should be respected and valued because nobody is completely the same as anyone else. Telling them that being different from everyone else makes us unique, and that we must value the diversity and differences that surround us, in order to work together to make our society a positive place to live. | Equality | Equality is often defined as treating everyone the same. But I believe true equality means treating everyone differently in order to accomplish equality. In the health and social care setting every client has the right to equality of opportunity; it means each client would be given the same chances as each other to achieve all aspects of leading a as normal life as possible. Treating each client as an individual allows this to happen. Each unique person has their own needs and requirements and it’s up to me as a support worker to understand each client’s individual characteristics and know how to inspire them to be successful and feel equal in today’s contemporary society. | Inclusion | inclusion, this is the total opposite of discrimination and I think it means to be fully included, to make people feel valued and respected irrespective of ethnicity, gender, disability, medical or other need, culture, age, religion and sexual orientation. It is about giving equal access and opportunities, breaking down barriers and getting rid of discrimination and intolerance. Inclusion to me in my setting is about making everyone included; children and their parents feel truly welcome, valued and respected. Helping them feel part of our service, allowing them to participate in all activities. |
