3 Assignment task SHC33 Answers Task 1 Understand the importance of diversity, equality and inclusion Explain what is meant by: Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion What is diversity? Diversity means; being different, diverse, or variety; means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, nationality, culture, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, ability, or other ideologies. Diversity in my health and social care workplace for individuals living with early dementia means that, there are male residents and female residents of different ages from different background regarding their lives and experiences. They all have their own personal preferences regarding their likes and dislikes when eating and drinking, regarding their participation when involved in activities.

4 My residents are all different in the way they behave when socialising with the other residents or with staff. Also their beliefs, mental health condition and physical health are different. All these difference is what make diversity. Page 5 of 16 Promote equality and inclusion in health , social care or children s and young people s settings by Ga l Romanet. What is equality? Equality is ensuring individuals or groups of individuals are treated fairly and equally and no less favourably, specific to their needs, including areas of race, gender, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation and age. Promoting equality should remove discrimination in all of the aforementioned areas. Equality ensures everyone, regardless of their difference and ability has their right to be treated with respect and to be provided the same opportunities to access services as everyone else.

5 When explaining equality to consider the following; individual rights; giving and respecting choices; tailored services that better meet the diverse and individual needs. Negative discriminatory behaviours typically seen in care practices are the following; direct discrimination and indirect discrimination; harassment and bullying; victimisation; power and control; inappropriate language; oppression and lack of equality of opportunity; excluding people and groups from activities; blanket care approach, not personalised, all treated the same. Equality in my health and social care workplace for individuals living with early dementia means that, to care for all the residents in a fair and equal way, regarding their care needs, without making difference in regards of the colour of the skins or religions.

6 What is inclusion? Inclusion is a term used by people with disabilities and other disability rights advocates for the idea that all people should freely, openly and without pity accommodate any person with a disability without restrictions or limitations of any kind. Inclusion means promoting equality of access, inclusion and participation for individuals regardless of their differences. It s a requirement for all social care workers to adopt an approach that ensures service users are placed at the centre of the planning and decision making process as far as possible, by using the person centred approach and by promoting active participation. care workers must respect the values, beliefs and preferences of service users ensuring the same life opportunities are provided regardless of their diverse needs and differences. Inclusion in my health and social care workplace for individuals living with early dementia means that, to provide cares in a centred person approach, putting the resident in the centre of the care planning process, according to the resident's mental capacity.

The social model of disability says that disability is caused and made worse by societies attitudes and how it is organised, rather than by a person s own impairment or difference. It looks at ways of removing barriers that restrict life choices for disabled individuals. When barriers are removed, disabled individuals can become more independent and equal in society, with real choices and control over their own lives. Disabled individuals themselves developed the social model of disability because the traditional model did not explain their personal experience of disability or help to develop more inclusive ways of living. Traditional model of disability shows problems born of assumptions, stereotypes and labels special schools, charity, sympathy, special transports, doctors, medical treatment, educational psychologists, social workers, rehabilitation centres, occupational therapists, speech therapists, physiotherapists, sheltered workshops.

8 The social model of disability shows barriers born of ignorance, fear, stigma, lack of education and knowledge, inflexible employment, underestimated/devalued, inaccessible information, inaccessible transport, inaccessible facilities, lack of employment, inflexible employment, sheltered workshops, segregated services, medicalised, overprotected/hidden in homes by families, lack of social network.

Describe the potential effects of discrimination (Effects may include effects on the individual, families or friends of the individual, those who inflict discrimination, and wider society) Potential effects of discrimination for an individual in a health and social care environment can lead to physical and emotional impacts for the individual by being excluded and rejected by others for reasons that the individual have no control of, which can cause extreme worry for the individual.

9 It results in anxiety, sadness, depression and a feeling of guilt and emptiness. These often translate into depression, loss of interest, eating disorders and stress-related ailments. Potential effects of discrimination for the families or friends of the individual in a health and social care environment can lead the families or friends of the individual to feel worried about the care provided to the individual experiencing discrimination or bullying within the social care environment. This can conduct the families or friends of the individual to write serious complaints regarding care provided, regarding the wellbeing of the individual and wellbeing of the families or friends. Complaints in relation of feeling stress to go to visit the individual, complaints about lost or damaged of possessions of the individual. The way of an individual feels when close to staffs is a good clue of how the individual is treated inside the social care environment.

10 Staff duty to remember that behind a vulnerable individual, are often a loving family and friends that care as much as the staffs about the global wellbeing of the individual. By maintaining good relationship with the families, friends and literally every person that are involved in the resident's care planning process, will lead to better understanding and better cares for the individual. Potential effects of discrimination for those who inflict discrimination in a health and social care environment will lead to abuse of the individuals or staff. This will seriously impact on the reputation of the social care environment. Failure to report any forms of abuses in a social care environment will lead to bad cares without regards to the individual s rights. social care environments that fail to take strong action on discrimination tend to be poor in care provided.
