Assess the Influence of a recent National Policy initiative promoting Anti- discrimination practice.

Staff working in partnership with a service user’s family will become more aware of families' individual needs, and know more about an elderly person's home context, thus enabling them to be aware of how the care home is different or similar to their own home and understand the elderly person’s behaviour with this in mind.

This will build up relationship and trust between the care worker and the service user.

Key legislations and codes of practice relating to diversity, equality, inclusion and discrimination in adult social care settings are:

Some health care professional who are not committed to the care value base may treat service users unfairly. For example, a care worker that is not demonstrating the role of empathy may not want to listen or respect the ideals of the service users because the care worker is not in their position and do not see things from service users point of view. It is important for health care professionals to be committed and being honest with themselves in order to make sure that they are providing equal care to their service users. Careful use of language

These barriers relate to individuals having differing personalities, if someone has lack of self-esteem or poor interpersonal interactions and communication it can affect the way they treat others. They may be unaware of how to support someone with needs that are new to them or struggle to identify resources needed to support a client. If staff are unable to provide information to the residents or carry out tasks they may need additional training to gather greater knowledge on equality, diversity and inclusion; when staff are unable to acknowledge differences it can mean that individuals are discriminated against unintentionally. This would then have an impact on relationships and rapport built between staff and clients and discourage the residents to work with the staff if they believe they are not being understood or their needs are not being met, this can have further impact on their mental health and wellbeing, therefore it is crucial that staff and management work alongside residents and their families or friends to ensure that their voice is heard especially when considering person centred care, as many vulnerable adults may not have the capacity to challenge discrimination.

We all want to be treated with dignity and it is a very important part of an individual’s life. Working in the health and social care profession it is important to help people maintain their dignity so they can keep their sense of self-respect and self-worth. All health and social care professionals should be sensitive and aware of the needs of people and service users. Just because a person has dementia, they still need to be given a choice and not assume that they cannot make a choice. Not everybody is the same, there are different levels of dementia, so getting to know the service user is vital to challenge discrimination. We also need to make sure that the service user or their families are aware of the complaints procedure. Having policies and procedures are put in place and that staff are up to date on their training.

My responsibility as a care worker is to be aware of the various policies and legislations that will facilitate good practice when supporting my clients to access services and facilities. I am also expected to monitor and evaluate the service provided to ensure it is meeting the needs of the client.

working in the care environment we must ensure safe and good practise is provided. We are influenced and have such provides to help us gain knowledge such as national factors such as; codes of practise, national occupational standards, legislations and government initiatives. Working in the care environment it is an legal requirement to have an inspection every now and then, which must meet agreed national standards. If not, to result in the home being shut down. Also, the ways of working are set out in legislation and government papers. Every nursing home will have there own policy and procedures which you are able to read for guidance. Also caring and providing for people it is important we behave in a professional manner.

I am going to write about the discriminatory practices in a care setting and the effects they have on individuals using the service. People can be discriminated against in a number of different ways which can be described as telling people apart, and seeing the differences instead of the person’s individualism.

 ‘Staff did not appear to understand the needs of the people in their care, adults with learning disabilities, complex needs and challenging behaviour.’

In this report I will be discussing the promotion of anti-discriminatory practice of the sex discrimination act by answering these following questions.

2.2)Explain the possible consequences of not actively complying with legislation and codes of practice relating to diversity,equality,inclusion and discrimination in adult social care settings.

1.2There are other risk factors that may lead to incidence of abuse or harm to self and others. Lack of appropriate training and supervision can put not only the client at risk for physical injury but the carer as well. As for Mrs. M, she needs careful moving and handling method and appropriate equipment to avoid non-accidental use of force in turning her. Moreover, lack of staffs and poor working conditions can put the carer and client at risk for abuse as well. Mrs. M being attended by only one carer is not a good practice and must not accepted in the home and tolerated by the service user. This is always the norm in most care home who do not have enough resources especially staff due to lack of funds of qualified staff . Assessing and reviewing the risk involved in moving and handling the service user it is recommended that the service user will need two staffs to assist her in feeding and moving, otherwise she will be left hurting and bruised from rough handling and risk of fall.

This article is about the quality of life of residents in a nursing home as it relates to the staffing. The United States has approx. 16,100 nursing homes and 1.7 million elders live in those homes (Shin 2013). The number of elderly patients to enter nursing home are going to be on the rise. The quality of life is an important factor to look with the more people entering nursing homes.

The main concept of the case study points on the managerial approach towards the aged residential care (ARC) services to guarantee consistent quality care practice by means of their migrant care workers. Migrant workers are being utilised since the number of residents within the ARC are rapidly increasing, thus the management of migrant workers is one of the critical factors into gaining the desired quality service for residents. Managers are in charge for the quality of care in the ARC sector, however, there are concerns that require attention which can be challenging to manage. According to Ngocha-Chaderopa and Boon (2015), the issues of quality care delivery focus on these three segments: language and communication challenges, racism and discrimination against migrant care workers, and underemployment. In view of the study, while communication limitations such as accent and speed of language can be resolved by way of training, racism and underemployment on the other hand tend to be more challenging to manage through common human resource management methods. Carers in such nursing homes believed that management did not give careful consideration to the improvement of strong connections between associates (Timonen & Doyle, 2010), mainly because of these concerns that are formed in a diverse setting. In addition, the impact of employee well-being (i.e. psychological, physical and social) provides a significant role to quality service. The way care workers are
