Assignment 303 Principles of diversity, equality and inclusion in adult social care settings.
Task C
Reflective Account
Ci) I believe it is possible for your own personal preferences, attitudes, beliefs and heritage to impact on your working practice if you allow it to. There could be a number of different issues that could cause this such as:
Upbringing
Culture
Religious Beliefs
Trauma
Re-affirmed Belief Systems
Learnt Behaviours
The above issues could all impact on your day to day working practice as any of the above experiences could affect the way you interact or deal with others due to your personal experiences and attachments to the situation.
From my own personal experience of delivering a domestic violence programme with offenders it is important that I facilitate impartially and don’t allow myself to form judgements of people or their experiences due to any personal views, opinions or beliefs. During these groups individuals share experiences that are extremely personal and could also be distressing to them or have strong emotional attachments for that person. It is important for us to remain professional and supportive towards the person sharing their experiences and to remember Diversity, Equality and Inclusion guidelines to uphold the integrity of the programme and also encourage participation without any judgement. If staff fail to use proper working practice and begin to let are own preferences and beliefs influence our duties it could impact in a number of different ways. Compromising the effectiveness of the programme is one risk and it only takes a number of small thinks to do so such as, verbal responses to group members. It is important to use a range of active listening skills when doing this to encourage group members such as:
Making eye contact
Be mindful of body language
Tone of voice
Using empathy
Reflective Listening or Affirmation
The above skills if used properly display
