Sex discrimination act 1975 This act applies for both men and women. It promotes that both men and women should be treated equally. For example, in transport, education, jobs etc. It promotes anti-discriminatory practice by making sure those men and women are treated equally, if this act applies didn’t exist, men and women may be deprived of certain choices. This act includes any discrimination against homosexual marriages or civil partnerships, any discrimination against pregnant women and maternity leave, also about equal pay for both men and women. Disability discrimination act 2005 This act applies to anyone that has some sort of disability. This act is in place to protect disabled people against discrimination both in employment and when using a service or facility. For example, anyone with a disability should have the same opportunities in work or learning places such as school, colleges or universities. In other places such as shops and banks, and to also make sure that they are treated fairly when they go somewhere to eat or drink, such as restaurants or pubs. Public transport services have to make sure trains; buses, etc. are accessible and have the right facilities for anyone with a disability. “The government has implemented the legislation in three phases.

...Anti- discriminatory practice promoted in health and social care setting 1: ethical principles: Ethical principles are the principles which provide standards on which it is based on judgments in relation to ethical theories. The four keys of ethical principles are justice, autonomy, beneficence, and non-maleficence. Justice: This principle helps to protect all individuals from getting discriminated and allowing in getting fair treatment no matter what their background-sex, color, race, religion, belief sect. for example. : If a Muslim women enters in the clinics than she must be welcomed and treated by love and respect and not by discriminating her against religion or sex. In a health and social care setting they must raise and promote awareness of discrimination practice to stop covert and overt discrimination based on race, beliefs, religions, color etc. Autonomy: This principle helps every individual in making their own choice which must be respected by everyone. For example In a care home if the client wants a lady carer to feed her and not a men carer then she must be allowed to have that service and not go against her choice .Beneficence: this principle states that if an individual is in danger/ risk than positive action must be taken as soon as possible to help to prevent or improve the situation.

...Raveena Bhogal 68533 0011 Justify ways of overcoming difficulties that may arise when implementing anti-discriminatory practices in health and social care settings. Anti-discrimination is promoted when dealing with conflict as it stops individuals from discriminating against others. Dealing with conflict correctly is needed in health and social care settings to promote anti-discriminatory behaviour as aggression and tension can build up between the service users or staff. It is important for a health and social care professional to be trained to deal with conflict correctly so that the service users don’t become stressed or feel unvalued. If the conflict is dealt with professionally and positively then discrimination will not take place, therefore this promotes anti-discrimination by ensuring that no individuals feel discriminated against. All of the service users or staff members are treated equally, they are treated the way they want and need to be. On the other hand, difficulties may arise if the conflict is not dealt with in the correct manner. If a member of staff was to treat one service user better than another, then this will cause a larger conflict and will make the situation become very negative. For example, if a two service users wanted to watch two different TV programs that were showing at the same time then a member of staff should be trained to deal with this type of situation. The professional should treat the service users equally; they should say to the...

...Explain how care workers can actively promote anti discriminatory practice In this assignment I will be explaining the main ways of promoting anti-discriminatory practice within a work place and what professionals need to do by implementing government policies and guidelines locally by managers and employees, staff training and development, challenging work staff that demonstrate discriminatory behaviour and informing higher authorities when rules are not followed. I will give examples of these strategies taking action in a setting, why they are important and how they promote anti discriminatory practice within a health and social care setting. There are four key ethical principles and decisions in relations to health and social care.

...Anti discriminatory practices in health and social care What is an anti-discriminatory practice? This is an action that is taken for the prevention of discrimination on the grounds of race, class, gender, and disability. It takes into account our behaviour in society towards other people and it is very important that all employees in the health and social care setting promote this in the work place and this is so that they overcome any prejudice. By doing this they are promoting equality for all the service users and the staff who are providing this service. What is a National Initiative? There are three main national initiatives that come under the sector of anti-discriminatory practices. There are legislation, convention and regulations. There are also codes of practice, charters and organisational policies and procedures. These initiatives are important in today’s society in the health and social care sector as it ensures that every individual is treated equally and there is no inequality being created between individuals and this is in regard to their race, colour, gender, disabilities, social class, and culture or health status. Codes of conduct are a guide to service providers and what is expected of them in their roles, rights and responsibilities.

...Since they were issued in 1999, the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance have gained worldwide recognition as an international benchmark for good corporate governance. They are actively used by governments, regulators, investors, corporations and stakeholders in both OECD and non-OECD countries and have been adopted by the Financial Stability Forum as one of the Twelve Key Standards for Sound Financial Systems. The Principles are intended to assist in the evaluation and improvement of the legal, institutional and regulatory framework that influences corporate governance. They also provide guidance for stock exchanges, investors, corporations, and others that have a role in the process of developing good corporate governance. The Principles should be viewed as a living document. This revised version takes into account developments since 1999 and includes several important amendments. The revision has benefited greatly from extensive public consultations. This revised version of the OECD Principles was agreed by the OECD member countries on 22 April 2004.

...UNIT – I INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS – AN OVERVIEW Content Outline Introduction Definition and meaning of international business Scope of international business Special difficulties in international business Benefits of international business Understanding of international business environment Framework for analyzing the international business environment Summary Review Questions INTRODUCTION One of the most dramatic and significant world trends in the past two decades has been the rapid, sustained growth of international business. Markets have become truly global for most goods, many services, and especially for financial instruments of all types. World product trade has expanded by more than 6 percent a year since 1950, which is more than 50 percent faster than growth of output the most dramatic increase in globalization, has occurred in financial markets. In the global forex markets, billions of dollars are transacted each day, of which more than 90 percent represent financial transactions unrelated to trade or investment. Much of this activity takes place in the so-called Euromarkets, markets outside the country whose currency is used. This pervasive growth in market interpenetration makes it increasingly difficult for any country to avoid substantial external impacts on its economy. In particular massive capital flows can push exchange rates away from levels that accurately reflect competitive relationships among nations...

...more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career. When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed over the house key to the carpenter. “This is your house,” he said, “it is my parting gift to you.” What a shock! What a Shame! If only he had known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he built none too well. (Modified from LIVING WITH HONOUR by SHIV KHERA) Do we find ourselves in similar situations as the carpenter? Moving through our work hours fast paced, driven to “get the job done”, without much thought to moral values. How do we regain our focus as individuals and organizations? This is the challenge for the employee and the employer. Ethics are fundamental standards of conduct by which we work as a professional. VALUES Values are individual in nature. Values are comprised of personal concepts of responsibility, entitlement and respect. Values are shaped by personal experience, may change over the span of a lifetime and may be influenced by lessons learned. Values may vary according to an individual‟s cultural, ethnic and/or faithbased background. “Never change your core values.” In spite of all the change...
