Under the disability discriminating Act 2005 we have a duty of care to provide safe access and facilities to people with wheel chairs. This has included a large toilet facility with a wide door and drop down latch and an exit button by the front door at a lower height. Unfortunately tin Action for Children this was also at a height that young children could press. Although we maintained that all children should be supervised by their parents on our site it was felt that it was our duty of care to take away the risk of children running out into the street which is on a main road. After consultation with the parents through our family forum, our manager and the site manager made the decision to move the button up higher so that children …show more content…
This should be reflected in our workforce including our volunteers. Unit 3.3 - Understand how to develop systems and processes that promote diversity, equality and inclusion 3.1 - Analyse how systems and processes can promote equality and inclusion or reinforce discrimination and exclusion. Last year befriending covered one area that we worked in. Predominantly white older people were our clients - I think the previous coordinator has the perception that those older people did not want befrienders unless they were 40 year old plus and white. This may have been the case in previous years. I do not know. However last year our befriending service expanded in to another area that we cover. Unfortunately the current amount of volunteers recruited can not meet the need for demand. They do not represent the makeup of the communities we now serve and they are not aware of the issues facing these communities as they are not from them. There needs to be more of a shift to developing positive action to recruit to roles such as befriending to ensure we are developing and sustaining a volunteer group that can respond to local community, the need and that they have local knowledge. This way our organisation is aware of issues facing minority groups that we are working with. We have “inside” knowledge of what makes these communities tick and we can promote our volunteering opportunities to people that would enhance our service. Action for Children opposes all forms of

On October 1st 2010, the Equality Act came into force. This consolidated and strengthened the previous equality laws. This act prevents children and their families from being discriminated, victimised or harassed because of their age, sex, race, religion or disability. Through this act each child, whether already in the setting, or applying through admissions, will be treated in a fair and equal way, with aims for all children to have reasonable provisions to allow them to access all educational areas. Although a school is not expected to make adjustments that are not reasonable, they are expected to make general adjustments, reasonably planned within the school’s approach to planning for SEN children. The Equality Act 2010 outlines four definitions of discrimination, direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, discrimination arising from a disability and harassment and victimisation. This allows school settings to have clearer expectations and implement them. The Equality Act 2010 and the Discrimination Disability Act (DDA) (2005) both aim to ensure each and every child has access to a broad and balanced academic and social curriculum. Following this code of practice in a school, confirms that all members of staff provide the same high-quality teaching to children, as well as displaying professional behaviour.
The following is a summary of the main discrimination issues that were researched based on the ideas proposed:
The overall wealth of a nation is within their health. Health is an integral portion of any country. In the United States the system of healthcare, as well as the delivery of healthcare is far different compared to those of other countries. Unique in every single aspect, the United States is unmatched. Access to health care is complex. Now the question remains; what makes a nation? People, are ultimately the backbone of a country. Because of them a country has an economy, culture, defense, education and government. It is the government’s responsibility to oversee the health of the nation. A healthy nation equates a healthy economy which will positively influence all aspects of the nation including the government. What we seek to answer is how will the government keep its nation healthy? To accomplish this the government needs a system. A system keeps everything organized and maintains law and order. In other words, systems are a series of steps that keep everything in harmony. The overall political climate of the United States inclucding the interest groupd, laws and regulations, and the president and Congress are all key factors in access to healthcare. The government needs a health care delivery system which it can enforce or provide to the people so the people can stay healthy.
