...In this assignment I am going to be explaining the concepts of equality, diversity and a client’s individual rights in relation to a health and social care environment. In a health and social care environment, carers and employees are expected to put the client at the centre of the health and social care provision meaning although every person is completely different, they are all entitled to equality, diversity and equal rights. The definition of diversity is ‘the state or quality of being different or varied’ (Collins dictionary). Diversity is used to describe the differences of individuals, it means that all individuals are respected and valued excluding their differences. In a health and social care setting, carers must ensure that an individual’s differences do not affect the way they are treated and cared for. There are so many different aspects of diversity that can appear in an individual. For example race, culture, religion, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, even their hobbies and interest can make a person diverse. In a health and social care setting such as a hospital, every individual is diverse in their own way whether it be the colour of their skin, their age or their gender. The employees must understand than no person should not be treated any differently because of this. For example an elderly man should not be ignored and given less care than a younger male. It is important that everyone is treated equally not in the sense that they...

...What is equality? Treat every individual equally in status, rights and opportunities. Equality is about making sure that every individual has an equal opportunity to make the most of their lives and abilities and believing that no one should have lesser life chances because of where they were born, what they believe or whether they have a disability. Another example is race, disability, gender and sexuality have experienced discrimination. What is diversity? Diversity basically means difference. Meaning, accepting and respecting the differences and being able to value and respect them. These can be along the lengths of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs or political beliefs. It is the exploration of these differences in a safe and positive. It is about understanding each other and moving beyond simple tolerance to embracing. Diversity helps in meeting different people from different countries, so helping to learn different culture, different types of food, various religions, different languages, which helps bring the society together which allows people coming together to socialise. Being open to other cultures and being able to get along with everyone even thou they have difference, which therefore allows our everyday lives to be more interesting, even at the basic levels as then types of food we eat.

...P1: Recruitment documentation in Standor. The application document for Standor is there because that is all they need to know, they have carefully selected everything they need, and all they need to know about you. It is neatly presented so people can understand how to apply for the job and weather the job is for them. The reason why they add this is because it is appropriate to the job. The application form is lay out very carefully, at the top half it is just information about the applicant, such as surname, forename, address, qualifications and whether they have passed their driving test, in the second half of the application form there is a maths test, the reason why they have put this test is because they can pick and choose the intelligent ones and the people who are into maths, another reason why they put the test there is because it puts people off if they are not maths related people. As well as this it askes in the application form for previous employment history, they have done this because if people have had experience they won’t need as much training, if they employed a brand new client from college It would take more work to train the employee to a high standard. At the bottom of the page it asks for and health issues and also for 2 references, the reason for these 2 references is because they need to know if the applicant is reliable etc. After the process of the application form being handed in, normally the manager has to decide who he is giving a interview...

...Unit 2 P1 Aims are broad statements of desired outcomes, or the general intentions of the research, which 'paint a picture' of your research project. They emphasize what is to be accomplished (not how it is to be accomplished). They address the long-term project outcomes, i.e. they should reflect the aspirations and expectations of the research topic. Once aims have been established, the next task is to formulate the objectives. Generally, a project should have no more than two or three aims statements, while it may include a number of objectives consistent with them. Objectives are subsidiary to aims and are the steps you are going to take to answer your research questions or a specific list of tasks needed to accomplish the goals of the project. They emphasize how aims are to be accomplished and must be highly focused and feasible. They must address the more immediate project outcomes and make accurate use of concepts. They must be sensible and precisely described and should read as an 'individual' statement to convey your intentions Private owned companies such as Tesco focus on customers, employees, the cost of their products and whether they are offering value for money. Tesco’s mission statement is ‘we create value for customers to earn their lifetime loyalty.’ Publicly owned organisations such as the Department of Transport may mention the service they provide, the work they do and include statements about quality, efficiency and customer service.
