As a carer I demonstrate person centred values by relating to what each resident would like, what care they need, what assistance they will accept and treating each resident as a separate person but at the same time treating everyone equally. 2) A care plan is very personal to each individual as it sets out the guidelines of what care they need and receive. Carers should be able to read a care plan and understand what assistance is expected, involving a wide range of different needs. By focusing a care plan on each individual it becomes ‘person centred’, this ensures that every patient is receiving the benefits of support and assistance from carers. At St Nicholas House we review care plans at the end of each month with each resident, this ensures that any changes or issues are addressed as soon as possible.
Explain Ways to Promote Equality and Value Diversity Explain ways to promote equality and value diversity Equality and diversity can be endorsed by identifying the boundaries students may have. By identifying these potential barriers it will benefit the learning experience of an individual and as a group, and help overcome those boundaries a student may have. Teaching has to be structured to meet individual learner’s needs, using different strategies to promote comprehensive learning.

UNIT 422-203 Outcome 1 1. Explain what is meant by: Diversity Diversity is about recognising, valuing and taking account of people's different backgrounds, knowledge, skills, and experiences, and encouraging and using those differences to create a productive and effective educational community and workforce. Equality Equality is often defined as treating everyone the same. True equality means treating everyone differently in order to treat them the same. Inclusion The term inclusion is seen as a universal human right and aims at embracing all people irrespective of race, gender, disability, medical or other need.
It means treating people as individuals, with different skills and abilities, without making judgment based on stereotypes. It is based on fair equal, and courteous opportunities to all individuals, it should include the principle of treating people with fairness. It should also create a way of life where people of all backgrounds can feel appreciated and valued, and should be well established in health and social care services. The word diverse means “varied and different” so “diversity” is about more than equality. It is about valuing variety and individual differences and creating a culture, environment and practices which respect and value differences for the benefit of society, organisations and individuals.
Example: everyone is treated the same way. Inclusion: Inclusion is based upon the idea of allowing everyone equal access to a service regardless of gender, disability, religion i e, There are many ways to ensure that your setting adheres to its inclusion policy.

SHC33 – Promote Equality and Inclusion on Health, Social Care or Children’s and Young people’s Settings Explain what is meant by: Diversity Diversity is the valuing of our individual differences and talents, creating a culture where everyone can participate, thrive and contribute. There are so many ways in which people differ from each other ssuch as: Appearance, Ability, Gender, Race, Culture, Talent, Age and Beliefs. Equality Equality is a legal framework to protect against discrimination, promote equality of opportunity and foster good relations between people with 'protected characteristics. It is very important that everybody is treated equal and the same. Inclusion Inclusion, this is the total opposite of discrimination and I think it means to be fully included, to make people feel valued and respected irrespective of ethnicity, gender, disability, medical or other need, culture, age, religion and sexual orientation.
Equality and Diversity promotes that everyone has a human right be equal and have the opportunity to achieve their potential, free from prejudice and discrimination. Under the Equal Opportunities Act we have to ensure equality and diversity to all learners and staff. This means that the environment where the teaching is taking place promotes equality and diversity. Diversity is the acceptance or promotion of multiple ethnic cultures, applied to the demographic make-up of the local area. I do not discriminate against anyone because of their: age; gender; race, colour, ethnic, national, cultural or social origin; disability; religion and belief, or non-belief; marital status, family circumstances or caring responsibilities; sexual orientation and class.
