Unit 203 Introduction to equality and inclusion in health, social care or children’s and young people’s setting Outcome 1 Understand the Importance of Equality and Inclusion 1.1 Diversity is about acknowledging and respecting an individuals differences, diversity recognises that although people have things in common with each other, every individual is also different in many ways, Diversity consists of many factors. Equality means to treat everyone equally in a way that is appropriate to their needs. Discrimination is the prejudicial treatment of an individual based on their membership in a certain group or category. Inclusion is seen as a universal human right and aims at embracing all people irrespective of race, gender, disability, medical or other needs. It is about giving equal access and opportunities and getting rid of discrimination and intolerance.
Equality is about fostering and promoting the right to be different, to be free from discrimination, and to have choice and dignity and to be valued as an individual, with the right to your own beliefs and values. Health and social care services should meet the needs of people from all backgrounds. You should not be treated less favourably than anyone else because of your beliefs or your religion or because of any other characteristics you may poses. Equal opportunity is about addressing representation and balance, but is a term used in workplaces to describe the measures taken by organisations to ensure fairness between staff and patients. It means treating people as individuals, with different skills and abilities, without making judgment based on stereotypes.
Diversity recognises that though people have things common with each other, they are also different and unique in many ways. Diversity is about recognising and valuing those differences. “Sometimes you may have to care for clients whose values are different to yours, but you must make sure that you still care for them in a fair way, and that they can express their values without fear of discrimination.” EQUALITY: is the vision of creating society where power and quality of life is shared equally and both individuals and communities are able to live their lives free from discrimination and oppression experienced by certain groups. INCLUSION: its position where someone or various groups can access and benefit from the full range of opportunities available to members of society. Social inclusion is generally seen as a description of activities aimed at removing barriers such as discrimination, isolation, poverty and fear to enable individuals and communities to fully participate in civil society.
Equality allows us to be valued as an individual with a right to our own beliefs and values. Equality enables us to create a fairer society where everyone can participate and has the opportunity to fulfil their potential. The definition of equality of opportunity requires that each individual should have access to the resources normally necessary for the full development of his/her capacities as a human being. These would include decent nutrition, access to health care, and access to education of comparable
If abortion is for the greater good of all and brings about more happiness, then the principle of Utilitarianism supports abortion. 1. An individual is entitled to control his or her own life and thus their body too. 2. A woman should have the right to determine whether or not she wishes to have a child.
1.1. Explain what is meant by: • Diversity • Equality • Inclusion • Discrmination Diversity: Diversity literally means difference. Diversity is significantly related to the fact that though people are very similar to each other, but they are also different and unique in many ways. Diversity is about recognizing and valuing those differences. Therefore it consists many factors which are visible or non-visible, 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.
These standards are modified on the basis of need and not on the basis of practitioner preference. Applying the principle of equality requires practitioners to take an active stance to ensure systems, processes and practices do not unduly disadvantage those who receive the service, within my role this is staff, carers and the young people. A popular model of promoting equality is through the equal opportunities approach. To understand equality it is necessary to understand that all individuals should have the same opportunities to achieve good outcomes. This approach is based around the starting point for all individuals being the same.
So, what is equality and diversity? How can it be defined and how can we ensure that we integrate an equality and diversity approach in to everything we do, particularly where children and young people are concerned, to teach them the value of difference? Equality enables us to create a fairer society where everyone can participate and has the opportunity to fulfil their potential. Equality is mostly backed by legislation which is designed to address unfair discrimination among members of a particular group in society, but it's everyone's responsibility to . Diversity is the recognising and valuing difference in its broadest sense.
True equity is idealistic and sublime, establishing and developing freedom in our one world. Sharing equality, love and respect to each other is the final goal of human beings. I consider a community simply as a group of people who share a large sum of things in common. This could be common values, geographic location, ethnicity or even cultural characteristics. A community could be racially and ethnically diverse or it could be populated with people who have much in common.
