Unit 2: Equality, Diversity and Rights in Health and Social Care
Aim and purpose
This unit aims to develop learners’ understanding of concepts related to equality, diversity and rights in health and social care. Learners will be able to gain knowledge of discriminatory practice and means of combatting this. They will also develop understanding of national initiatives that promote anti-discriminatory practice in health and social care settings.
Unit introduction
At the heart of effective health and social care practice lies an understanding of the immense diversity amongst individuals in contemporary British society, and how good health and social care practice recognises and accommodates this diversity. The promotion of equality and the rights of individuals are crucial for effective health and social care service provision.
This unit investigates how equality, diversity and rights are central to the effective operation of health and social care services. It explores discriminatory practice and its potential effects on patients/service users, the promotion of anti-discriminatory practice by, for example, legislation and codes of practice, the application of this to the health or social care workplace, and national initiatives that promote anti-discriminatory practice.
The knowledge and understanding gained from this unit will underpin many of the other units in the qualification. In particular, it is essential in preparing learners for their work experience. It is also a useful preparation for work in the health and social care sectors and for learners intending to progress to, for example, degrees in social work, nursing or other related disciplines.
