The social model of disability, in contrast, would see the steps as the disabling barrier. This model draws on the idea that it is society that disables people, through designing everything to meet the needs of the majority of people who are not disabled. There is a recognition within the social model that there is a great deal that society can do to reduce, and ultimately remove, some of these disabling barriers, and that this task is the responsibility of society, rather than the disabled person. The social model is more inclusive in approach. Pro-active thought is given to how disabled people can participate in activities on an equal footing with non-disabled people.

However even then, the prevailing culture of risk management has been one that looks at risk from a perspective of potential harm, and risk assessment has therefore been widely used as a limiting factor. This has continued to prevent people with disabilities from leading full and active lives.

Explain how values, beliefs and misunderstandings about dementia can affect attitudes towards an individual People with dementia face widespread discrimination for a number of reasons. There remains significant misunderstanding about and stigma attached to dementia that manifests itself in widespread discriminatory attitudes.
