Unit 2 – D2
By Jess Ross
Expand on M3 and explain ways health and social care settings can overcome the problems and difficulties they may have when trying to put anti-discriminatory practises into place. Explain why how these will work.  
Promoting Equality
Anti-discriminatory practice is promoted by treating all patients and staff fairly, regardless of their race, gender, religion or way of living. It is important that patients are not treated the same, but treated with dignity and respect. For example in a hospital, if you had one patient who could feed themselves you would give them their lunch and they could carry on and eat themselves, but if another patient could not feed themselves then you would help them to eat their lunch. So you are treating these two people differently, but giving them both the opportunity to have lunch. Also, if somebody else was vegetarian, then you would provide them with a vegetarian lunch. So you are treating them differently too, but giving them the same opportunity. But it's also giving them respect and dignity. It would be disrespectful, bad practice and discriminatory to put a lunch in front of somebody who couldn't feed themselves and just leave them like that, and same for giving a vegetarian a lunch that contained meat.
