Equality, diversity and rights in health and social care.
Equality, diversity and rights in health and social care.
I will be explaining what equality, diversity and right mean in health social care I will start with the definition and then give an example for each different term.
Equality: ‘Some careers, and the people they care for, experience discrimination or harassment because of their age, disability or caring role, or for other reasons such as race, sex or sexual orientation’(www.nhs.uk). Discrimination can affect your work, cause problems in your other activities.
The equality act 2010 protects the rights of individuals and promotes equality of opportunity for all. These opportunities could be anything, big or small it could be having the opportunity to take part in the Paralympics or as simple as being able to use public transport. This means that everybody should be treated equally an individual difference should be recognized in order to give equal opportunities.
If a blind person was in a class copying off a power point, then the blind person would be at a disadvantage whereas, if I was to read what the power point said I would be giving them all equal chances to their education.
Diversity: ‘Diversity literally means difference. When it is used as a contrast or addition to equality, it is about recognizing individual as well as group differences, treating people as individuals, and placing positive value on diversity in the community and in the workforce’(south-norfolk.gov.uk). This tells me that Diversity is differences between individuals in many different ways; race, height, weight, age, gender, social status, relationship statuses and many other differences.
If a councilor was to tell their client they didn’t want to work with them and help them because they was disabled they wouldn’t be upholding the diversity laws.
