A1 - Describe how to challenge those not working inclusively in a way that
promotes change.
In order to challenge those not working inclusively in health and social care, it is
important to approach the situation with a focus on promoting change. This can be
done by first having an open and honest conversation with the person or people in
question and try doing this in a non confromtaional approach. this also needs to be
done in a construsctive, supportive and positive manner. It is important to be
respectful and understanding of the other person's point of view, while also making
sure to express the importance of inclusivity and how they can not make the same
mistakes again in health and social care. It is also important to provide examples of
how inclusivity can benefit everyone involved, such as providing better care for all
patients regardless of their background, or creating a more diverse workplace.
Additionally, it may be beneficial to provide resources and support for those who are
not familiar with the concept of inclusivity, such as books, articles, or workshops. By
taking these steps, it is possible to challenge those not working inclusively in a way
that promotes positive change in health and social care. (SCIE 2022).
Reporting in a health and social care setting is an important part of the job. It is
essential to ensure that all relevant information is accurately reported in a timely
manner. To do this, it is important to document any observations or changes in a
individuals condition. It is also important to keep accurate records and report any
issues or concerns that have arisen. It is also important to communicate any
changes in service users and the other members of the care team. Finally, it is
important to ensure that reports are completed in a timely manner, as this helps
ensure that the everyone receives the best possible care.(DSD web 2022).
For example, when working in a care home, it is important to report those not
working inclusively in order to promote change. It is essential to report any
inappropriate or exclusionary behavior as soon as possible. This can be done by
speaking with a supervisor or manager, or by filing a formal complaint to the CQC if
the manager is who you are reporting on. It is important to provide concrete
examples of the behavior that is not inclusive, such as excluding a certain group of
people from activities, or making derogatory comments. It is also important to
provide the names of those involved, if possible. By reporting these behaviors, we
can help to create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone in the
care home.
Recording those not working inclusively in a health and social care setting is an
important step in ensuring that the setting remains safe and welcoming for all
individuals. To record those not working inclusively, it is important to document any
incidents or behaviors that are not in line with the setting’s inclusive policies. This
can include noting any discriminatory language, behaviors, or attitudes that are
, observed. It is also important to document any attempts to address the issue, such
as discussing the issue with the individual or providing them with additional training.
Additionally, it is important to document any follow-up actions taken, such as
disciplinary action or additional training. By documenting all incidents and actions
taken, it will be easier to track progress and ensure that everyone in the setting is
working inclusively. (HCPC 2019).

A*1 - Evaluate the role of the health and social care practitioner in meeting
individuals’ needs through inclusive practice.
Inclusive practices ensure that all individuals are included in all parts of life and are
not discriminated against or ruled out because of unique differences. It includes
approaches and attitudes to be taken to make sure that all individuals are included
and not isolated. This means supporting diversity and embracing any differences
people may have. The failure to provide inclusion is known as noninclusive practice.
Noninclusive practice can be deliberate or unintentional. Examples of non inclusive
practise would be not respondingto an individual because they do not make a fuss
and making assumptions before checking the facts. (Cram 2022).
As a health and social care professional, it is their responsibility to ensure that all
individuals are treated with respect and dignity and that they are given equal access
to services and resources. Inclusive practice involves providing services and
resources to individuals regardless of their race, gender, age, religion, sexual
orientation, physical or mental ability, or any other aspect of their identity. This means
that professionals must ensure that all individuals are given the same opportunities
to access services and resources. For example, they must ensure that individuals
with disabilities have access to the same resources as those without disabilities.
