To resolve any difficulties we should give choices and let them decide, given more details about the food to help them choose and information needed. Explain to the individual the importance of a healthy diet and why it benefits them, and support them to choose the best option for them and why each dish has it pros and cons. For example – should they be choosing high calorific content or fibrous. Equipment provident should suit each individual’s needs, large handled cups for those who have problem gripping items (arthritis/gout), weighted cutlery, plate
Unit 2 – Equality, diversity and rights in health and social care Equality – Equality is ensuring that groups of people or individuals are treated fairly and no less favourable no matter what background they have; it is ensuring that specific needs are met such as areas of race, religion or belief, sexual orientations and age. For example in a care home if a service user is vegetarian they should have the choice of a vegetarian option at meal times. Diversity – Diversity is respecting that everyone is different and unique, no two people are the same and we all have different needs. Diversity values the differences between people. Cover why we are all different – Age – Different age groups need different attention from care workers when in a care place.
A lifetime of belief in separating genders in personal care situations can be a massive blow when faced with having a male or even a female carer for in some situations. Food can be a massive concern for some cultures, not just the choice of meal but also on what day of the week it is eaten. Equality isn’t about just giving everyone the same dinner or watching the same TV channel. It’s about giving them the same choices. Being able to make a decision about what to watch, what to eat, where to go today and then have the same access rights to the same shops and transport systems to get there.
People can be educated on different cultures based on the food they eat from that country. Education Schools and colleges now include studies in a wide range of cultures and languages. The inclusion of equality, diversity and rights training in the health and social care profession has increased and has become an important part of the professional training programme- all organisations are required by law to train their staff in equality, diversity and rights. It can be hard to introduce new cultures and languages into schools when people are not used to the variedness. Introducing new languages into high schools to help diverse the spoken languages of the students.
Communication is defined as exchanging information through speaking, writing, or other effective communication such as braille. The purpose of effective communication in health and social care is so professionals can successfully interact with clients, this leads to trust being gained and getting to know them which means the professional will start to understand and meet their individual needs. The responsibility of developing effective communication between the professional and client is down to the professional who must understand what the clients preferred way of communicating is. For example, if they’re deaf they may prefer to either lip read or use sign language. Another example of meeting an individual’s needs is ensuring the food you provide them with meets their needs, for example people from different cultural backgrounds tend to eat different foods.
When I go to a place to spend my money, I like good customer services as well as good food. If the food is good I might come back if the service is bad. If the food and service is bad I will not come back without calling the manager. I also talk about it to my friends to let them know of my experience. I enjoy going to places like Chik Fil A because the services and the people there are so friendly and therefore I could go there every day if possible.
What groceries to purchase, what groceries are unhealthy to purchase when grocery shopping. And last, but not least control and watch what goes into your child’s body, and what should not enter into your child’s body. I also plan to create a fun way of introducing good eating habits that parents can share with their children. How can we make eating healthy fun for our children as well as ourselves. Eating can be made fun.
It is also very important to know how to make good decisions, and by choosing what you want to eat gives us a great opportunity to learn. So, I think we should keep junk food sold in school, because there are more varieties of food. My second reason of why I opposed the removal of junk food is that junk foods are convenient and delicious source for a quick snack. Usually, we get tired from work outs or after school activities like varsity
When we serve our food on a plate, we usually finish what we get; if we use a big plate, then we could fill up the plate and eat a lot more but if we use a small plate, then the space is limited and will not fill it up as much. Then, using a smaller utensil will also help us to overeat. This book tells us about a lot of external factors of why we eat more than we need and how to prevent it and not by changing our diet. The most important message from this book is to pay more attention on why we eat. Before eating anything, we should really think if we really want to eat.
REFLECT ON AND DEVELOP YOUR PRACTICE 1 Legal and organisational requirement on equality, diversity, discrimination and rights when working with individuals others to improve your knowledge and practice: The way we respond to people is linked to what we believe in, what we consider to be more important or what interest us. As a professional career we need to be aware that we work with vulnerable people so it is very important to make them feel good and provide our services to meet their needs.
