The Role Of Government Policy

There are two models that link with equality, diversity and inclusion, the first one is the social model of disability which views discrimination and prejudice as being embedded in today’s society, their attitude’s and their surrounding environment. The social model focuses on who the adult is as person not what their disability or diagnosis is, the focus is on how to improve and empower the individual’s life and lead a more independent life as possible. The second model is the medical model of disability which views adults has having an impairment or lacking in some way, this model focuses on impairments that the adult has and

Legislation ensures support is put in place to help with financial and physical needs. Helps ensure action is taken against people who discriminate others. Helps to recognise a person’s disability and ensures they have access to the same resources and activities that a person without disabilities has access to. Also makes it against the law to discriminate against people with a disability.

The Act requires public bodies to promote equality of opportunity for disabled people, and also gives rights to them in areas such as employment and education;

The Equality Act 2010 replaced all previous anti-discrimination legislation and consolidated it into one act (for England, Scotland, and Wales). It provides rights for people not to be directly discriminated against or harassed because they have an association with a disabled person or because they are wrongly perceived as disabled. To ensure you comply with the Equality Act, you need to be proactive in all aspects 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 Equality Act sets out the different ways in which it is unlawful to treat someone, such as direct and indirect discrimination, harassment, victimisation and failing to make a reasonable adjustment for a disabled person. The act prohibits unfair treatment in the workplace, when providing goods, facilities and services, when exercising public functions, in the disposal and management of premises, in education and by associations (such as private clubs). The equality act will for instance impact on my role as manager with regards recruitment. You will need to ensure that my job specification does not discriminate against particular groups of applicants. When processing applications you should concentrate on an individual’s abilities to do the job, not their disabilities. Make adaptations to accommodate individual’s differences e.g. working hours, special equipment needs etc.

A. Disability legislation increases the recognition of actively involving individuals with a disability into community based projects and adapting mainstream projects for the involvement of others with a disability. This encourages inclusion for disabled individuals into the community and helps with other factors such as disabled access for wheelchair users and individuals with impaired mobility in the likes of schools and universities as well as local shops and community centres. Encouraging inclusion of disabled individuals into the community “normalizes” disability and encourages a positive

as initiatives such as ‘Our Health Our Care Our Say’, ‘Putting People First’ and ‘Valuing People’ are changing how we look at disability and making people aware that all disabled people have the right to take a full part in society.

The Equality Act 2010 is an updated law aimed at an attempt to stop discrimination and to help try encourage equality throughout society. The care environment should benefit from this improved equality act by ensuring certain groups of people within the healthcare who receive a worse service compared to the rest of the community receive equal opportunities. Under the Equality Act 2010, individuals are formally protected against the harm of discrimination on the grounds of their age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity status, race, religion or belief, and sex and sexual orientation.

What is the proper role of the government? The colonist created their own government because king george the 3rd took control and advantage of them.There is not much power given to the government because the checks and balances were limited so no branch of government could become too powerful,that is where the bill of rights come in so people could have freedom of speech and having a voice meaning individual liberty. The proper role of the government is to protect the life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness of the citizens.

The first theory related to policy change is policy diffusion. Policy diffusion is the process that explains how and why policy innovations spread from one government to another. In the article The Mechanisms of Policy Diffusion (Shipan and Volden 2008), the authors made it very clear that uncovering the various mechanisms of policy diffusion is crucial to understanding when the devolution of policy control to states and localities is desirable. They proceeded by explaining the following four mechanisms to explore the conditions under which each of the four mechanisms drove policy diffusion in regards to the spread of antismoking laws across the 675 largest U.S. cities between 1975 and 2000. The first mechanism was policy adoption based on learning which is when policy adoption in one area is more likely if the policy has been successful elsewhere and success can be related to (a) the goals that the policy is designed to achieve, (b) the challenges of its implementation, and/or (c) its political support (Shipan and Volden 2008). After that they explained policy adoption based on competition for resources, which can produce undesirable outcomes (Shipan and Volden 2008). This mechanism is sometimes called economic competition because in some cases, if not most, the policy makers thoroughly evaluate the economic or financial effects of adoption (Shipan and Volden 2008). The next mechanism introduced was policy adoption based on the imitation of other governments by simply

causes of the reform whereas few scholars investigate the policy-processes. Second, from-actor specific perspective, the literature stresses the role of state actors and International Financial Institutions (IFIs) and mentions about presence but the inefficiency of private actors, labor unions in particular, in policy-making processes. This paper aims to fulfill these gaps comprehensively and systematically by adopting the network approach. In order to explain inefficiency of certain groups, this paper stresses the meta-governance of networks that generate hidden hierarchies within policy networks. I call the sub-structures depending on the hidden hierarchies as "extreme sub-structures". I argue that these structures which are incompatible
