Discriminatory practices are very influential on the people that use health and social care services; I will explain these effects and give examples. (1) Marginalisation is when you feel like you are not liked within a group or in other words you don’t feel like you are a part of a group or society.In health and social care everyone should be treated equal and marginalisation is not allowed. An example of this is a youth worker excluding a homosexual teenager based on his sexuality. (1) Disempowerment is to make someone feel devalued this could happen to either an individual or groups. The victim could be discriminated by a valued group/individual or powerful group/individual.
Groups that have a higher risk of becoming vulnerable include, children, people with learning and physical disabilities, people suffering with mental health problems, chronically ill people and the elderly. Age concern (1986) defines vulnerability in the elderly as ‘people in need of some support, help and/or advice in order to prevent personal or social deterioration or breakdown. Without this their level of dependency on others or their ability to manage their lives as they wish, might deteriorate to the point of necessitating their removal to institutional care, which is not their preferred option and might otherwise be prevented or postponed (page 11).’ This statement is proven in my clinical experience. Whilst on placement on a busy acute medical ward, at a local hospital, I helped to care for an elderly lady, whom I shall refer to as Mrs Berry. Mrs Berry was 87 and had been admitted to hospital following a fall

This may lead the young person to develop negative feelings about themselves or society for not fitting in. This may affect them getting a job. Being in the care system means that a young person is separated away from the family unit due to a family breakdown and could possibly be split up from siblings. this impacts on the life chances of the young person because they may not be able to fully put their trusts in the adults around them because of all the new changes they have gone through.
This makes up the ‘PIES’ of health needs: Physical, Intellectual, Emotional and Social needs. If there was a service user within a residential care home who was living with multiple sclerosis, who had then experienced direct prejudice about the fact that they have problems with mobility, it would affect how well these needs are met. Physical needs would be affected because if there was direct prejudice, it would change their attitudes about their needs because their self-esteem would have been lessened, meaning that they would change their attitudes about their needs and result in them becoming less physically active. This could then impact on the social needs of the service user because they’re not being mobile, and therefore are not going out and meeting, or communicating with different people. Intellectual needs would be affected due to the prejudice lowering self-esteem, and this changing opinion and attitudes, the service user may not wish to read or write for a number of reasons.
