The principle of affected interests is defined as an equal right given to participants who are affected by a policy decision to partake in determining and forming the outcomes (McKenzie & Wharf, 2016). By giving an opportunity to those who are highly impacted by a decision it can create an effective policy that can ultimately suit the needs of those using the services (McKenzie & Wharf, 2016). After all, the people who are experiencing the problems would have the most to lose and gain in this situation. Therefore, if the principle of affected interest is not included then the policy making will be determined by the staff with long standing service records who are typically white privileged men (McKenzie & Wharf, 2016). This would decrease the diversity and perspective of choices, possibly skewing the outcomes. …show more content…
Furthermore, the decision-making procedure is a very tedious battle, as it may be a long-term process that result in indeterminate outcomes (McKenzie & Wharf, 2016). Consequently, by incorporating the citizens it can further pro long the process, but I think that it is important to consider the voice of the citizens because it is better to be patient and do something right the first time, rather then rush and pay the consequences later on. A great example of principle of affected interest that plays a key role in a university student life is evident in group projects. I had a group experience where one person tried to dominate and take over the entire group and tuned out everything, myself and my group members would suggest. This caused immense frustration as nothing written incorporated our thoughts. I then took initiative and created a google docs where everyone was able to inform their

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.
All types of discrimination can also lead to negative behaviour and can partly cause aggression or crime; even living in poverty and experiencing discrimination can affect an individual’s behaviour as well. Due to the negligence they may take out their frustration on the care providers or others in the society which would make them in the wrong and after being investigated this may or may not change because of the client’s self-esteem or pressure levels. As well as taking it out on the care providers, they are also able to take it out on health and social care professionals.

Many strategies are used within the work place to protect vulnerable people. Health and social care settings have to always promote equality and diversity and to respect service users rights. One way in which this is done is by always putting the patient/service user at the heart of the service provision. This means that the patients' individual needs will be met and achieved for example; a personal eating plan to a specific individual. Putting the service user at the centre of the provision generally makes a happier and healthier patient in all areas
This is a reflective essay which will give an account of the concept of valuing diversity and one aspect of anti-discriminatory practice. Its aim is to demonstrate these concepts by explaining their relationship with regards to a ‘diverse’ client whom I have cared for during my placement. Valuing diversity is recognising differences and turning them into positive characteristics. Howard (2004) supports this theory by defining valuing diversity as being aware of, sensitive to, and appreciating differences. The Department of Health (2004) explain valuing diversity within the NHS and determines
The organizations where I work promote equality, diversity and inclusion in both policy and practice. Staffs should regularly be reminded the importance of equality, diversity and inclusion in day to day practice. Staff should respect the choice, preference, ethnicity, origin, rights, and wishes of service users. Care staff should be allocated to service user to make sure that
The Civil Rights act of 1964 along with Title VII gives employees the option to sue business owners based on color, race, sexual orientation, and religion. This act, rules on the fact, that individuals can take action if a discrimination or harassment issues happens at the employer’s workplace. It expands Civil Rights statues to provide more protection against people who are victimized due to discrimination. It sets the guidelines for job related issues due to disparate impact or treatment issues. However, this act does not assure that everyone who faces discrimination will be employed because frankly he is a minority. If it is felt that there is a possibility of
