The problem that some people observe is that practices that cross over the line to provide preferential status to protected groups can result in less qualified people getting jobs and actually reinforcing negative stereotypes when compared to people who are fully qualified.

This reduces
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.

If there was a restaurant which is run just by men from ethnic minorities often get paid less than a group of white men running a restaurant. Reasons for this may be because men from ethnic minorities often come from a worst education than white men. Geography is another factor which can influence this side of an unequal society because with some ethnic minorities concentrated in areas of high unemployment, or far from public transport or in industries which are shrinking fast. This may be because when they immigrate to England they are only after a job and they are not aware of how much they should be getting paid and they are not aware of their rights in terms of a job and pay. P1 * People in lower socioeconomic groups have less opportunities People in lower socio-economic groups do not have as much education as the upper class.

Hope needed people in her life to help her care for Andy and to tell her what she was doing right and what she was doing wrong. Social services should have removed Andy from her care because she could not care for him.
* Define Indirect and Direct discrimination. Indirect discrimination is unfairness that may occur when certain conditions imposed on an individual have an unfavourable impact.
