Ways of working that reduce the likelihood of discrimination
You can reduce the chances of discrimination happening by the way that you work. As a health or social care worker it is your duty to work in ways that promote:
• Equality
• Diversity
• Inclusion
These principles should be included into everything that you do. To achieve this, you should:
• Respect diversity by providing person centered care
• Treat the individuals you support as unique rather than treating all individuals in the same way
• Ensure you work in a non-judgmental way. Do not allow judgmental beliefs to effect the care and support you provide
• Follow the agreed ways of working in your workplace to create an environment that is free from discrimination.
• Work in an inclusive way that sees the positive input that all individuals can make to society and to their own care
• Be confident to challenge or confront discriminatory practice if you see this in your workplace.
