EQUALITY, DIVERSITY AND RIGHTS. 10/10/13
Health and Care services should concede, respect and accommodate this diversity. Encouraging equality and taking rights into account, is very important part of health and care services. The most important issues for health and Care workers and organizations is how to meet and respond to diverse service users, and making sure that every service uses if pleased with the equality. For example Health and Care practitioner have to meet specific needs of people that are from different ethnicity, gender, age, cultural background.
Equality
Equality means treating everyone equally no matter of their; skin color, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability etc. It is very hard to treat people the same way because every individual person has his own personality and own individual needs so individuality of people should be taken into consideration. For example if we had two people seeking information about the services available on written copy and one would be speaking English and one would speak Arabic and the information where only handed out in English the other person wouldn’t understand it and the would be no equality between them.
People who work in health and care settings must value diversity and treat people fairly not treating certain groups according to their preferences, and at the expense of those who hold prejudices, and having the chance to be able to have the rights. Thanks to equality act 2010 people are now able to work diverse range of people in many different surroundings without being labelled or discriminated.
There are many benefits of having in our society, people are more appreciate for who they are and for their individuality, we are not discriminated by having disability or different faith. All of this allows us to make choices without fear of being judged for what decision we make, without equality
