In this essay, I will be describing how anti- discriminatory practice is promoted in health and social care.

This helps make individuals feel empowered.
National initiatives are made to make sure individuals using health and social care services are treated fairly e.g. someone could be treating a disabled person the way you would treat a normal person and just because they are disabled doesn't mean they must be treated differently and they are useless they should be treated with dignity and respect. One of the key National initiatives is …show more content…

Even if this effects them in the long term and their health gets worse or the problem comes back as far as they are concerned, it is their decision and it is the right decision. In health and social care, the staff should do everything to help patients this could be providing a book for a blind person with Braille. This is also a part of their work contact to help them as much as possible and make them feel worthy. As health and social care professionals, they must also help make individuals feel empowered by encouraging them to do well and to be independent. In health and social care setting they must also help apply certain aspects around individual’s environment to help their individuals needs or if a group have the same needs to make sure they are treated fairly.
The impact of a national policy initiative that promotes anti-discriminatory is the Age Discrimination Act 2006 and since this act was passed, it has been unlawful for employers and others to discriminate against a person on the basic of his/her age. This applies to jobs, promotion, training and employment.
The difficulties that may arise when implementing anti-discriminatory practice in health and social care settings, which could be that someone could try and override the national initiatives as they feel their own personal issues which could be homophobia and they need to be more educated to know what is the right way to deal with it and that way it will be dealt

    If the goal is to create a society in which marginalized groups are equal citizens, then Social Work has an obligation to demand a moral-system that resonates with that objective. There must be a communal (collective) account of injustice, unfairness or oppression for any government-enforced redistribution or effort for reform to be rendered equally or indiscriminately. Without an emphasis on interdependence, a caring society, empathy, and intersectionality, Social Work’s assistance or governmental interventions in people of colors’ communities cannot truly be anti-oppressive, but rather temporary solutions to intergenerational inequality, crises, disparities and social

    What is institutionalized discrimination? According to our book it is a process that happens when the discrimination is “part of the way a social structure normally operates” (A/T). Discrimination by itself is behaviors that individuals condone and discrimination can be a single act. In my opinion, institutionalized discrimination is when an entire society (or any system) works together to negatively impact a group of people’s daily lives simply because they are a member of that group.

  • Anti Oppressive Theory In Social Work

    886 Words  | 4 Pages

    Anti-oppressive practice focuses on the structural inequalities and places the blame that service users internalize on the structures and systems themselves (Ajandi, 2018). Humanistic and social justice values and ideas shape anti-oppressive practice (Healy, 2015). They address inequalities that affect opportunities of service users, due to the interlocking of social relations and oppression (Burke & Harrison, 2002). AOP aims to identify oppressions and define ways in which social workers can attempt to become anti-oppressive, avoid discomfort, and end oppression to service users (Strega, 2007). It highlights mutual involvement between the social worker and the service user, challenging forms of oppression and inequalities (Burke & Harrison, 2002), and presents the idea that service users do not occupy a “single identity”, but instead have interlocking oppressions that work together to put clients at a social disadvantage (Strega, 2007).
