If an individual does not see why the practices need to be put in place and are an employee of a health and social care provider they might cause trouble by refusing to follow them, which can make service users who needs the practices lose self-worth. * Difference in value systems and beliefs Everyone has different values and beliefs so may refuse to follow certain anti-discriminatory practices because of these values or beliefs which can cause problems for health and social provisions which this individual works for the provider. * Internal
“Racism is oppression based on colour.” (Bishop,1994) therefore social workers must be aware of the extent and impact that racism has on the wide range of ethnic minorities that they work with.

Another factor that would give a service user a positive experience in a social care service would be anti-discriminatory practice. Anti-discriminatory practice is complementary to the practice of equal opportunities. Therefore the service user would be having a positive experience as they will not be treated differently due to age, race, or gender etc. But will be given more advice or help if needed, depending on their ability.

The report said “The enquiry believes institutional racism is present throughout the NHS and greater effort is needed to combat it. Until that problem is addressed, people from black and minority ethnic communities will not be treated fairly. The cultural, social and spiritual needs of the patients must be taken into account.
One of the points raised in IOM’s article to prove that racism is a prevalent cause of health care disparity is the way the health care system is set-up, meaning at times, some hospitals and clinics can adopt a policy to contain health care cost, but may pose hindrances to minority patients’ capability to access the care.
