health and social care settings
Anti-discriminatory practice happens when any practice aims to counter

There are 4 ethical principles:
1. Justice – it happens when people are treated fairly no matter their

side effects therefore the professionals should carefully take in consideration

In health and social care each patient is different and has their own experience
which is one of the main reasons why supporting individuals might help them
with their emotional wellbeing.
For example, in a school a student might feel isolated because of his
introversion and past experiences with bullying. If service providers support
