It is there to approach and promote Equality, Diversity and rights to individuals and also help people value and respect other people’s differences and self-esteem. There are different acts for different types of discriminations that must be followed by professional workers in any types of settings. Sometimes promoting Anti- Discriminatory Practices may be threatening to workers as there are great changes in legislation time to time. The legislations are there to prevent Care Workers from discriminating towards Client Service users.

It causes consequences such as physical, sensory, cognitive and intellectual impairments due to mental illnesses and different types of diseases and situations. It effects individual’s organ or body part and may also effect individual’s participation in life. This is why there is an Anti- Discriminatory practice that promotes disabled individuals in participating in life and protects individuals from getting discriminated.

The act ensures that all individuals are
