Report Explain models of practice that underpin equality, diversity and inclusion in own area of responsibility (You might have to research models, you can look at Thompson and Walker)

As my role here, I am supposed to support out the different individuals from the wide range of different backgrounds along with the different cultures as well. At all of the times, I am here expected to uphold as well as promote all of the equitable services and different practices. Along with this, offering the equality of opportunity during taking into account the political, social and economic issues of people while promoting out the diversity along with the inclusion too. I need to consider the very own areas of the responsibility within my working area and how the practice underpins the different kind of the values of equality and diversification. Equality is to make sure that everyone is being treated in an equal and fair way regardless of their abilities which they have like set of beliefs, religion, age, sector, gender and last thing is their social status. Diversity here recognizes that no doubt people have different things in common with one another but they obviously are different as well as unique in number of different was. Diversity is completely about recognizing along with valuing all those differences and it also consists of the visible as well as non-visible factors.

Everyone deserves to be treated in an equal way and there should not be given any leverage and favors to the ones that are special or have high status or standards. Within the working area, everyone is definitely supposed to be treated in an equal way and they should be.

Analyze the potential effects of barriers to equality and inclusion in own area of responsibility.

There are multiple barriers that have been found to the equality and inclusion in the own area of responsibility which are mentioned below:

•           Age

•           Gender or gender identity

•           Disability – physical or sensory impairment

•           Faith

•           Ethnic origin

•           Sexual orientation

•           Communication, literacy and language

Age is one of the biggest barrier that has been known so far. Senior people are always given favor and leverage as compared to the young people and this should not be done like this. Yes they should be given importance and respect as they are senior but that doesn’t mean at all that all the young people or workers are supposed to be overburden.

Gender is the other barrier and here it has been assumed out that communication here can incite different problems at working area. Women are being treated in a different way as compared to the male and this should not be done like this at all. Each and every person needs to be treated according to the post he or she is on.

Disabled people are not that much confident and other people also don’t treat them in a proper way. This is completely wrong. These people should be given out proper care and respect and they deserve favor among all the normal people who are physical fit as compared to them.

Faith barrier is the one which I have witnessed that it takes place because in the working place people are from different areas and they share different belief according to the faith which they have or share so it has been seen that this is one of the most common barrier to the equality and inclusion to the own areas of responsibility. 

Analyze the impact of legislation and policy initiatives on the promotion of equality, diversity and inclusion in own area of responsibility.

The equality act according to 2010 clearly identifies here that if any of the social or the health care organization provides different services, goods and facilities then it needs to make sure that all of them are being given or fulfilled within the set of requirement under the law. This is the act which brings together almost number of different individual parts of the legislation into the complete set of law to make sure that the law is in the equality and the diversity.

This equality act 2010 is the one that applies to any of the organization. This is act that is being applied to the private, voluntary, statutory organizations no matter what size do they all have. This is the law that effects almost everyone who are running out an organization along with applying it to the staff as well as the volunteers which may do anything on the behalf of any organization.

This equality act also helps out to ban out all the unfair treatments and help out each and every one to achieve the equal opportunities in the working area in regard to the wider society. This act also replaced all of the past laws that are anti-discriminatory by the help of just single act to make out all the laws simple and then removing out all kind of inconsistencies. This helps in people to make it understand the law easily and then keep complying with it. This is the act that sets out all of the different ways, it has been mentioned that it is unlawful to treat someone with harassment, making them feel as an insecure or below the status and many other such acts that are being seen commonly these days.

Give an example of when you have promoted equality, diversity and inclusion in policy and practice.

There are number of different ways by which it can be accomplished through the manager by providing out the good role model and then demonstrating the fairness along with anti-discriminatory practice to all of the staff members along with the service users. Discrimination is the factor that needs to be challenged at almost each and every stage of the staff structure along with the staff need to make it feel completely that they are able to report out the different practices which they believe out to be wrong. Different kind of the training sessions along with the supervision and clear description of the job too. There are many powerful personalities on the team which may lead to many others in a negative way. Their effect shows out that service users along with the other different members of the whole staff are being treated in a very unfair manner and this will definitely comprise upon the diversity, quality along with the inclusion of its service.

Training along with the proper supervision:

You all may need to remind the staff about different issues that are surrounding the equality, diversity along with the inclusion as well that surrounds out all of the team meetings and then start updating them on different policies along with the procedures as well. Training can also be recommended to make sure remind them about their duties in respect to the equality as well.

Giving others proper mean of respect which they deserve is also another important form. Each and every person deserves to be treated in a respectful way and they should be given proper respect. This includes the proper way of communicating and using the language that is appropriate and make others feel comfortable. Communication tells others that how they are being treated by the individuals so this needs to be make sure clearly what is being done and what shouldn’t.

Give an example of when you have challenged discrimination and exclusion in policy and practice

Eliminating the discrimination starts with the dismantling different kind of the barriers and try to maintain the equality in an access to the training, education along with the capability to own up and then use out the different resources like the land and credit. Indirect discrimination is the one that takes place where different set of rules or even the practices appear out to be on the surface to be neutral but the practice further lead towards the exclusion. Discrimination can also be eliminated by number of different ways that include:

•           Engage different people for using different kind of the services along with the families of those people in shaping out the future support through different reviews and surveys as well.

•           Present out the staff through having the vision of fairness along with the services that are equal by all means through following out different procedures and the policies as well.

•           Creation of different cultures that support out the equality and then challenge discrimination in all of the possible ways.

•           Capturing of the commitment for the workforce along with raising out the importance of an equality along with giving people awareness about it in all the possible ways.

This is also about challenging out all the others if it is important or essential and then speaking up for the rights of different individuals for which you support because you know they can’t speak up for themselves and can’t take up all of their rights on their own until or unless they are being given any kind of the support or help. This can be really difficult at the start to challenge out the discrimination but as soon as one starts doing it then this seems to be quick and an easy job. There is nothing difficult or challenging in it by any mean.

How have you provided others with information about?

Effects of Discrimination:

There are certain different kind of the effects that are related to the discrimination and they also vary from person to person and organization to organization as well. Here in this, it has been seen that the effects of discrimination also varies and this results into the sadness, anxiety, depression along with the feeling of emptiness and guilt too. These all are the ones that often get translated into the depression, disorders that are associated with the eating, loss of interest in different activities and last part is the ailments that are stress related. Discrimination is the other word of harassment and victimization which leaves a person broken and confused.

Impact of Inclusion:

There comes some of the benefits of the inclusion for the different people that do have some of the disability or are without disability. Through the impact of inclusion, people may start learning the acceptance of the other people and there are different and unique abilities that varies from person to person. Working with one another and in a positive way in an organization is known to be one of the important part of the inclusion and this also helps different people to reach out their developmental potential.

The value of Diversity:

Valuing out the diversity helps to recognize the differences among different people and start acknowledging that all such differences are considered to be the valued assets. Multicultural education is the one that is known to be the important part for valuing out the diversity. All of this respects the diversity while teaching each and every one to be effective along with participating the members of a democracy. While having the diverse group of people in the same organization that helps all others to view different issues in a different way that lead towards the distinct solutions.

Give an example of when you have supported others to challenge discrimination and exclusion.

I have been in a situation back in the working area and I have realized here that elimination of the discrimination and exclusion are the most important factors and they needs to be removed. I found out that I along with my colleagues have found that my senior or can be called as the head of department used to treat people in a low and inferior way. Discrimination has also been discussed above in detail and the effects of discrimination as well. People become low in self-confidence. Everyone needs to be treated equally but in my department employees used to be treated in an inferior way and not in the way which they deserve to be. I asked my employees and colleagues to take an action and stand against this as no one would help others until or unless things are being lined up and employees won’t stand up for their own rights. So I talked to them and asked them to be strong in this field and give enough of the confidence to others as anyone needs to be the role model and only then others can stand up by seeing you. So I along with my employees gave confidence to others in challenging out the discrimination and exclusion. These things make people in guilt and people can’t take any decision on its own. This makes people feel inferior. Challenging this made people and employees confident and therefore people can take decisions easily. Here in this, it has been seen that the effects of discrimination also varies and this results into the sadness, anxiety, depression along with the feeling of emptiness and guilt too. These all are the ones that often get translated into the depression, disorders that are associated with the eating, loss of interest in different activities and last part is the ailments that are stress related.

Analyze how systems and processes can promote equality and inclusion or reinforce discrimination and exclusion and provide an evaluation of the effectiveness of such systems within your own area of responsibility.

Here we do have the mission statement which easily sets out the commitment of all the services towards the diversification, equality and inclusion. There are many different kind of the written policies that helps in reflecting all the rights along with the responsibilities for those that are living within the environment. Different policies do provide the guidance for the staff along with the visitors as well to the home on different ways to make sure all of the inclusive practices. Policies are being developed in the response to the legislation. Through having all these systems along with the processes in the place that it ensures that any of the discrimination is being dealt with regard to the correct way and according to the working place of different practices that makes sure that all of the individuals are being treated in an equal and a fair manner. Different policies that promote the inclusion and equality helps out in giving out the positive message and then encouraging out the positive message along with the encouragement of an atmosphere of mutual respect. There are many other different systems as well in the place for the effective and efficient monitoring, reporting and reviewing on the different progress in the relation to equality of the opportunity, inclusion and diversity. Here the monitoring phase includes providing out the different services and their users along with the families that have questionnaires to get completed. Also through having the procedures of complaint in the place and making sure that each and every one is completely aware of the different procedures and individuals that are completely able to voice out their opinions and reporting out any of the discrimination they have been inexperienced and accessing of the support. All of the complaints are being monitored carefully and they are also being acted upon. Being the member of a team, I completely share my responsibility with my staff to make sure that anti-discrimination practice that is being promoted and it also recognize out that when discrimination is being happening.

Propose improvements to address gaps or shortfalls in systems and processes.

After evaluation of the workplace the very next stage is to decide that what kind of an action needs to be taken upon for addressing out the gaps along with the shortfalls in the system and the methods the reports of my findings. I would further set out one of the action plan of what kind of the changes are being needed or required. This further includes the details related to the improvements that will be made up and the timescale for any of the change that easily takes place. All of the team members need to be completely aware for their own responsibility and role related to the implementation for the whole plan. You should easily include all of the different employees so that they may easily get to know that what kind of the roles they are looking for along with the improvement as well. They can also be given the different responsibilities using out their strengths to involve in the improvement of a service.

  Describe ethical dilemmas that have arisen in own area of responsibility when balancing individual rights and duty of care.

While working out in the social care or health environment, we are being often faced with the number of different situations that involve the moral dilemmas. Therefore this is very essential that the manager needs to have the clear understanding that how each and every individual differs and all of them has their own morals and opinions as well. While working with the vulnerable people and we do have a duty of the care to protect out the different rights. In the proposed course of an action or even the proposed treatment that could be harmful to an individual, we all need to weigh up the advantages along with the disadvantages.

We should make sure that all of the environments needs to be safeguarded for all of the vulnerable individuals.

All of this helps out the individuals to have a control over their lives. This is very essential and important that all of the support workers that empower out the individuals to make out all of their decisions.

Service users are the ones that are capable to make some of the informed choices related to the different services which they receive along with some of the most appropriate treatments for their own sake. They all need to be treated in the way which easily enhance out their capability of choosing and they should never undermine their capability at all in any way. Here the informed choice clearly states that all of the service users are completely encouraged for the consideration of different ranges, all of them have them right of making decision and share out their responsibility for the different outcomes. Here my part is to give neutral and the accurate piece of an advice along with the information about all the different options which are available that makes them able to take up an action.

Explain how you have proposed a strategy to manage risks when balancing individual rights and duty of care in own area of responsibility.

It involves the carrying out number of different risk assessments that easily allow an individual for undertaking the positive risk while protecting along with safeguarding them as well. Positive risk taking is the part that is completely about weighing up along with some of the potential risks as well. All of this could also have the different kind of developing plans and the actions which reflect out the positive outcome for all of the service users. This also includes the use of available support for achieving the results along with minimizing the different potentials that mat have the dangerous outcomes or the results. This is one of the considerable throughout plan for the managing of particular situation or different set of the points.
