UNIT 303 Promote equality and inclusion in health, social care or children’s and young people’s settings. 1. Diversity What is meant by diversity is difference. Everyone is different not every Pearson in the world can be the same. Equality Equality means that everyone should be treated like an equal.
Principles of diversity, equality and inclusion in adult social care settings 1. Diversity-Means difference. Recognising that each person is an individual who has their own uniqueness. It also means acknowledging/ tolerate difference Equality- Is mostly backed by legislation, which is designed to address unfair discrimination amongst members of a particular group in society. It is everyone’s responsibility Inclusion- It is a human right for every individual.
Diversity is about recognising and valuing those differences. Diversity therefore consists of visible and non-visible factors, which include personal characteristics such as background, culture, personality and work-style in addition to the characteristics that are protected under discrimination legislation in terms of race, disability, gender, religion and belief, sexual orientation and age.By recognising and understanding our individual differences and embracing them, and moving beyond simple tolerance, we can create a productive environment in which everybody feels valued. · Equality- Equality means treating people in a way that is appropriate for their needs. For example, if Michael Flanders wanted to board the plane, it would be no good saying to him, “you have the same stairs as everybody else”. What is needed is a way of getting on the plane that will suit everybody’s needs without showing them up and treating them in a way that is worse than other people · Inclusion - allowing people to be involved no matter thier age, race, gender, abilities and disabilities.
Equality:- Equality is treating everyone equal regardless of their, colour, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation or disability. It is different to treating people the same. Different people have different needs, this should be honored. All people have equal opportunities and the same rights under the law and the rights to services provided by the government on the basis of their needs. There should be open access to health services allowing every service user to receive treatment on the basis of their needs.
| Equality | Is making sure that everyone has the equal chance to participate in everyday life to the best they can. | Inclusion | Is making sure that everyone no matter of their age, ability or race is included in activates the best they can. | Discrimination | Is when someone is purposely nasty/ leaving someone out due to their race, gender or ability etc
Everyone should be treated the same equally and there are laws set out to ensure this happens. C Inclusion is allowing everyone equal access to a service regardless of gender, disability, religion etc. Everyone should be included and we should remove all barriers that prevent them becoming involved. D Discrimination is the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people especially on the grounds of race, age, sex or disability. We must recognise and understand everyone is different.
By law every organisation must have an equal opportunities policy. In relation to health and social care the equal opportunities policy states that all individuals must receive the same high level of care. Diversity: Diversity means accepting and respecting differences. This means that everyone is recognised as being different and that their differences are respected. Everyone is an individual and has differences, no one is the same.
A I. - Diversity: everyone is unique and individual. We need to recognise the differences in culture, gender, religion, ability, etc. -Equality: Everyone has the right to fair treatment and acces no matter what their culture, gender, religion, ability, etc is. -Inclusion: To include everyone and treat as we are equal but different, we all belong together.
* Providing information on awareness about anti-discrimination. * Educating others about treating everyone equally. Anti-discriminatory is important in H&SC setting because it helps people to respect others at their work place, it helps others understand that everyone has different cultural practices and that everyone needs to feel comfortable where they are. People will have more respect for each other and they won’t discriminate if people have different opinions. One main piece of legislation that ensures anti-discriminatory practice is Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995.
