UNIT 2: EQUALITY, DIVERSITY AND RIGHTS JADA COOPER 20140170 P4: This task will explain 2 different national initiatives, stating when they were set up, the purpose and also how they promote anti-discriminatory practises. It will also talk about Charters and their importance, whilst discussing 2 of the codes of practices’. Care Standards Act 2000 The Care Standards was established in 2000, its’ aim is to ensure that the standards of care within all institutions were not inadequate as the rules and regulations have to be adhered to.

Whilst the professionals follow the code of conduct it reassures them that there making the correct decisions. The purpose of the code is to protect the public as it enables to professionals to understand what they need to do and allows the public to know what to expect from the organisation. The professionals should promote privacy by respecting the confidentiality of the service user. They should only disclose information in accordance with legislation and the policies. Within this code the support workers are made accountable the decisions they make. For example if they are unaware of how to approach certain situations they should speak to their supervisor to prevent them from not meeting the standards. Organisational Policies and Procedures One of the first policies is the positive promotion of the rights of individuals; this can be achieved by the health and social care provision displaying charters around the environment, which clearly state what rights the service users are entitled too. Additionally the organization should give newly appointed staff a handbook that enables them to understand what the organisation expects from them. Another procedure is through advocacy, if the individual is unaware of the rights they are entitled too, or unable to communicate effectively they can have an advocate. …show more content…
The organisation must be aware of all of the recent changes in order for the health care provisions to provide the best quality of care. The organisations employ managers who have the duty to ensure that all of the policies are adhered too, staffs are trained on a regular basis and that the improvement of care should be monitored after the training is provided. Health and social care provisions must have polices in place to deal with all forms of bullying or harassment. In accordance with the law if this occurs within the provision it can be dealt with by legislation, as laws are enforced to prevent bullying/harassment from happening. However, the health and social care establishment should still be able to effectively deal with cases like these. Human rights play a significant part within the health and social care sector. The health care professionals should have knowledge on human rights entitlements and how to deal with any issues that infringes the rights that an individual is entitled too. The professionals should be able to practise in an anti-discriminatory manner that does not contravene anybody’s human
If we supposed that the service level agreement states that the system would not be offline or unavailable more than 45000 seconds a month then the goal would be to stay away from exciding the stated time. In the data from the years 2009-2017 we can see that the average total downtown is 44151.24 and we can determine that for the most part we are keeping with the goal of not exciding the 45000 mark. In the histogram, we can also see that there was also a high number of occurrences were the system was offline or unavailable for more than 45000.
In this assignment I will be discussing the ways that health and social care settings use national initiatives to promote anti-discriminatory practice. An anti-discriminatory practice is preventing discriminations by taking action against this, and this includes race, class, gender, and behaviour towards each other. All employees promote this because it promotes equality for service users and staff by removing discrimination. National initiatives are a legal and an official document and is also a part of anti-discriminatory practice to prevent discrimination and there are policies and legislations that are used to protect people from discrimination in their daily lives, and health and social care settings use national initiatives to ensure

7 / D.P7: Explain how different procedures maintain health and safety in a selected health or social care setting Maintaining health and safety in health and social care is extremely important to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of all their service users as well as other individuals service providers may come in contact with in the setting. There are several procedures that help to maintain this health and safety however they can all vary between settings for example, health and safety procedures will be slightly different and more focused on certain areas in hospitals and especially in paediatric ward compared to in drop-in centres where the needs and risk to service users are slightly different. Some of the procedures used in health and social care to maintain health and safety include; infection control and prevention, safe moving and handling of equipment and individuals, food preparation and storage, storage and administration of medication and storage and disposal of hazardous substances.
P3 research: I will now compare different research methodologies for health and social care. There are two types of research that are commonly used when research projects are being taken out, which aim to benefit health and social care related services. These two types of research are called quantitative research and qualitative research. The difference between these two is how they collect the information they need in different way and use different kinds of sources, but both benefit the health system. Without research being carried out medical professionals/and laboratory scientists would not be able to provide us with improved medications that can improve our health.
Allowing the individual to be respected to have human rights it ensures that you are given the dignity and respect, making them feel empowered. Individuals have a right to make a choice even if it is a good or bad choice as a support worker you must respect these choices. Safeguard is put into place when unwise decision is enough to put them at risk or danger to themselves or others. Why are you having a duty of care and safeguards in place this is put in the individuals best interest first. All staff in health and social care settings will have to have basic safeguarding training to protect the individuals from
To prevent discrimination from happening in workplaces non-discriminatory practises are put into place which have to be followed by organisations (and workers of) health and social care services. These organisations must have a code of practise and polices which make sure that discrimination can not occur and that they are not breaking the law in workplaces. Service providers must recognise and respond to the needs and all requirements of the people who access these services. A law was put In 2005 where people aren 't allowed to treat other people differently because of their disability this is called “the disability discrimination act 2005” this is an act of parliament of the United Kingdom.

Before the HRA of 1998, most people who suffered human rights abuses did not know that their rights have been violated, and even if they knew, they did not know where or who to turn to for help. The UK government educated people about their human rights and informed them of the local and international solutions available to them when their rights are violated. Equality and Human Rights Commission inspects human rights, protecting equality across nine grounds: age, disability, gender, race, religion and belief, pregnancy and maternity, marriage, sexual orientation*. The EHRC promotes equality and protect human rights in a number of ways. The EHRC can provide information to individuals so that they know what their rights are.
In a layman’s term, advocacy is the move to make the voice of the marginalised and vulnerable people heard. Everybody have rights and needs that must be met but some group of people, due to their inability or difficulty to voice out their minds, are unable to meet these needs or demand for their rights and entitlements; when it comes to making decisions that pertain to their lives, their voice and feelings are (sometimes) being ignored and they are treated as if they do not exist. Advocacy is the forum through which the rights of the marginalised are campaigned, and through where appropriate quarters are challenged for these group’s exclusion. According to Solomam (1985), it “involves either an individual or group, or their representatives, pressing their case with
Sami Mesgun RH Critical Analysis Study The right to health as a human right asserts the right to health is a “fundamental part of our human rights and of our understanding of a life in dignity” (The Right to Health, 2008, p. 1). On one hand, the right to health is closely related to and dependent upon the realization of other human rights (Health & Human Rights, 2002). On the other hand, the enjoyment of other human rights such as the right to education and the right to active, free, and meaningful participation is closely related to the right to health, or—as articulated in international law—“the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health” (The Right to Health, 2008, p. 1). This paper aims to critically discuss the right to health as a human right using the available literature for comparative analysis.
The Human Rights Act 1998 ‘The Human Rights Act 1998 is integrated and implemented into UK in 2000’. It confirms the responsibility of the public servants such as police, hospitals, public schools, and so on to complete all the public functions within the set parameters. ‘These parameters or code of behavior promises the security of social rights and essential individualities of the people’. Further, this act guarantees the everybody has right to practice public services and ‘they should have right to be treated equally with much needed dignity regardless whether they are young or old, rich or poor, progenies or elderly, male or female’. ‘The rights, the Human Rights Act 1998 protects are, right and defend to life, the prevention of inhuman behavior, servitude and force labor, liberty and self-determination, non-discriminatory hearing, confidentiality and matrimonial matters, thoughts, religion, conviction, discrimination,
Discrimination and inequality are both unfair and oppressive ways to make people feel inferior and suffer a detriment as a result, in turn discrimination and unequal treatment leaves the individual or group of people suffers of oppression. Discrimination and unequal treatment play a huge part in every community, and especially with regards to certain groups within each. This assignment will critically analyse discrimination and inequality within the community, evaluate Equality Legislation in Ireland, and weigh up how your own prejudice attitudes and assumptions can affect your role as a social care practitioner. Discrimination is when an individual or group of people are treated differently because of their race, religion, gender, age,
