To deliver high-quality care within the health and social care systems, it is essential to
promote equality and diversity for people with various needs. People who need health and
social care services are frequently in a vulnerable position, thus they must be safeguarded
and free from prejudice. The Equality Act 2010 and the Human Rights Acts of 1998 are two
crucial parts of legislation in the UK that are centered on preventing discrimination.
The Equality Act of 2010 is a legislative framework designed to shield everyone and
everyone from prejudice and unfair treatment. It guards against people being treated
unfairly or differently by others because to their gender, age, or beliefs. No matter where
they are from, everyone deserves to be treated fairly regardless of who they are or what
they stand for. Such as gender, age, and religion, such as Christianity, Buddhism, or even
Judaism.
The Human Rights Act of 1998 is a UK legalisation that safeguards the most disadvantaged
members of our society and enables them to access care and a variety of supports. Many
people are entitled to the services and necessities they require, such as protection from
abuse of any kind. For example, for not having to attend a criminal court trial, for
maintaining one's privacy, for the education rights, or even for the freedom to vote
elections.
To provide a fair and equal set of norms, legalisation is impartial and equitable. They are in
place to protect and assist people in order to stop discriminatory attitudes and actions. The
Human Rights Act of 1998 and the Equality Act of 2010 both work to combat prejudice by
bringing to light specific traits that should be safeguarded. For instance, a person may be
discriminated against based on their colour, religion, human needs, or handicap. In order to
feel comfortable and secure in the type of society we live in, it gives the strength and ability
to combat discrimination by protecting these and other forms. More comfort will be
provided for the numerous individual human rights and their environment as a result.

result. Billy must be treated equally to other service users in terms of rights and
opportunities by those around him. To ensure that Billy receives treatment and is not

Equality Act of 2010 in this manner. Billy may experience discrimination since he is too

treatment and any service that may provide . For example, It is widely important that
Billy is fairly getting the equal amount of opportunities so that the right atmosphere are at
