The importance ofpreventingdiscrimination

1. Discrimination is a very important topic which has actually been proven to affect service users health and well being. An example of how it can effect the service user is from how it can actually causes depression and anxiety and so its very important to prevent discrimination as it can lead to a sort of domino effect, which is when it affects other aspects of the service users life like for example their attitude on taking medication, and so this would affect their physical well being as well as their mental well being. in summary it causes the service user to feel down on them selves as they may lose a sense of importance on this earth if treated unfairly.

2. Discrimination cna also lead to the service user living of fear of others as discrimination is basically spreading hate to another specific group and if you spread hate to someone constantly it means that you would want them to bare some sort of pain. So instinctively the human mind would want to stay as same as possible and try and avoid that hateful group hat ever way possible, so they would continuously be anxious of this situation and so think negative thoughts and the worst result all the time in order to prepare for the worst outcome if it comes to life. This affects the service users well being as they may no longer experience happiness as much any more because they may experience a sense of anger due to how unfairly they are treated and may believe that this sort of thing may need to change as a result.

3. Discrimination can lead to loss of confidence because it can cause an individual to feel valnerable as they may not have experienced this event and so may not know how to react as a result and they may start to feel inferior as they may not now about this particular experience and are quite new to it. The service users well being may be affected due to how they feel less masculine as males are considered to be strong in a lot of situations and from a women point of view are meant to be weak and can cause the women to be more inferior as they are considered by society to be very emomtional.

4. One initiative which is aimed at preventing discrimination in care includes access for example which basically adapts the environment for the individual such as providing some kind of ramps for an disabled individual for example which basically shows how the less vulnerable are considered as well as the ones which are more capable of simple daily tasks.

5. A second initiativwe which links with discrimination is diet as if you give or provide service to a individual which have a particular medical condition or a particular religion where they may not be able to eat certain foods such as Islam where they are not allowed to eat pork for example and you may have to consider certain foods whihc is acceptable to take and ones which are not and not just think that food is just food and everyone can eat it. But what needs to be considered is

6. A third initiative which need to be considered is support in services as this shows that you accept individuals for who they are and provide the services which is needed and don't over look what people coming from different cultures and religions need and support them for example by providing a specialist such as a translater to their need.

7. The forth initiative includes a support worker called an advocate which is basically someone who translates what the less vulnerable are trying to say but cant communicate it in a way which is understandable for the tipical person to understand. What this does is basically gives people the rights which they are entitled to which is being heard.
