How you will be assessed
This unit will be assessed internally by a series of tasks set by your tutor. Throughout
this unit, you will find assessment practices that will help you prepare for your final

, Getting started
Think about an occasion when you’ve been asked by a friend to do
something, that you believe to be wrong. Did you do it so that you didn’t
upset your friend? Did you say ‘no’ and explain why? Write down what
makes you feel that something is right or wrong. Imagine that this happened
if you were working in a health or social care environment. How might this
affect how you respond to service users and providers?

discrimination
Definition of equality, diversity and discrimination
equality
Equality in the health and social care sector means everyone having equal access to the
services they need, that is, receiving a service of equal quality that meets their personal
FT
needs, no matter where they live or how they live their lives. This is not the same as
everyone receiving the same service. For example, everyone has the right to register
with a doctor but a seriously or chronically ill person will need more of the doctor’s time.
Treating people as individuals by taking into account their different beliefs and abilities is
crucial when caring for others, and service providers should acknowledge an individual’s
A
personal beliefs, even if they do not share them. If a person’s religious beliefs mean they
can only eat certain foods or have to pray at a certain time, they would feel unvalued if a
hospital did not accommodate these beliefs, and it might slow down their recovery.
R
Reflect
D
In a group of three or four, discuss your differences and similarities. Think about
your appearance, how you each live your life, your preferences in music, clothes
and so on, and your dislikes. Reflect on how many differences you find.
Diversity

Britain is a multicultural society and this has an impact on health and social care
delivery. Not only do health and social care professionals come from a diverse range
of backgrounds, but so do the people receiving health and social care services.
Living and working in a culturally and socially diverse society can provide access to
a wide range of skills and expertise from different traditions and cultures. For those
working in health and social care, this can create exciting opportunities such as new
forms of treatment, different ways to deliver social care and, most importantly, learning
