INTRODUCTION
The legal system mainly prescribes various regulation which assist conduct of individual
enforcing righteousness and obligating to fulfil duties binding the person to follow such rules.
It derives its authority from conventional declaration of law and custom(Barnes and Sax,
2020). The guidelines laid down are fundamental aspect which aids leaders of country in
protecting interest of public. In the field of social and healthcare service employment of
person depends on procedures and legislation in regulating the general actions of various
organisation regarding healthcare and other national institution entrusted under it. The ethical
pattern enumerates societal morals which lays measures and codification of ethics. This
report confers comprehending distinct stages to regulate legal policy discussing relation
between regulation covering domestic and structural plan of action which holds prime
position with respect to security and welfare of individual. Further, talks about legal
practitioner and ethical standards. Moreover discuses its application of policies introduced
under legislation with respect to ethics and regulative necessity in effect.
PART 1
TASK 1
P1 Summarise key features of the different levels of law and policy.
The legislation enforced in society are formed by legislators whereas in common legal
system of UK authority is conferred to house of Parliament namely House of Lords and
House of commons headed by crown. The constitution structure is partially codified
embodying various regulatory aspects in specific legislation of parliamentarian authority and
judicial precedent of court. The apex body enforcing operation of various other legal
provision in constitution. Under International law whose principle is to manage the directives
of nation. This involves treaties, statutes and law bound by authority in adherence with
constitutional implications. It also talks about English legal system incorporated by case
study(Bloom et.al,., 2021).
The state is regulated mainly by three bodies which are legislation who makes law, executive
which executes and administers the legal rules and judiciary whose work is to adjudicate the
law implemented. The law making authority known as Parliament focuses on variety of

Unit 1 Law, Policy and Ethical Practice in H&SC MRC January 2022
statutes laying on distinct subject matter comprising procedures through different phases of
report originating from analysing , examination of law varying in circumstances and
considering amends with acquiesce of crown. It focuses on varying standards of legislation
for example legislators delegates power to its subordinate in formation of law with adequate
relevant proviso conferred by Parliament.
The Legislation are mainly known as law enforced by law makers as directed by authorised
person in implementing such laws. It is considered as body of individual or group via election
empowering to legislate, enact, amend or revoke such rules of specific state or region. The
main task of law is to prevent any mishap, necessity to enforce something, authorising and
regulating actions, raising tariff and creating penal provision etc. It is most probably called as
statutes or statutory rules. There are two types of legislation mainly primary and secondary
laws under UK Legal system. Primary law are those which are originally passed by
Parliament of UK such as acts of Legislators, Assembly of North Ireland and Welsh law
enforcing agencies so on. Some tools of law are Privy council, Order of Assembly and other
historical regulatory bodies as Church of England under crown or royal assent command.
Secondary legislation derives its power from Primary laws as being subordinate to it. The
law making power is in hands under this division conferred to Political leaders, Queen or
public bodies. It delegates authority to its lower bench. It generally includes statute
tools ,regulation, command and Church laws. Case law is referred as collective decision of
judicial authority in court setting precedence stating and inferring legal rules and applying in
cases in accordance with its relativity. It is independent and detached from legislative
authorities.
In healthcare and social security industry distinct laws are administered by authorities to
work in environment friendly surroundings and eliminating danger causing legal threat. This
can be governed under various enactment like Care Act, 2014, Safety at Work, 1974 and
Heath and Social care , 2018. These acts are managed by institutions as National Health
Services maintained by statutes in administering employment related to health and social care
aspect by adopting various schemes to public without any complexity.
The judiciary being the second agency of state which interpreted existential regulations by
making changes and enforcing such rules in court of law where at apex Supreme courts
being top most authority enumerates distinctive responsibility in order to form common laws
enforcing relevancy as of statutory legal compliance.

Unit 1 Law, Policy and Ethical Practice in H&SC MRC January 2022
The third body of statehood is executive which regulates guidelines to polity leaders serving
advantage with regards to citizens. Such regulations are enforced by this organ of state with
duty to administer nation and implementing policies with aim to safeguard sectors like health
and social security in society. For instance code of national health service 2003, imparting
Confidential policy, 2014 and other such acts. The execution of authority to make policy and
implement laws . There are various kinds of guidelines laid down by law makers as national
which is enforced on whole country administered by enforcement and structural policy
enforces national rulings exclusively in companies. The national plan of action made by
executive authority and organisational policy made by various associations implementing
national guidelines in their premises. In accordance with national policy originated from
Department of Health who considers national policy as Economic programme of Canada
enforced by leader of Conservative group with effect from 1879. This provision was
complied by many continents like UK improving the economy and developing health of
nation. Whereas, organisation policy infers printed form stating compliance values and
morals, ethics interacting and documentation of organisational strategy , procedure, intention
and planning. It aids in administering and managing actions and work environment which
states accurate rules of institution.. The legislation directs impacts on HSC implemented by
House of Parliament governing act of organisation. It mainly delivers wide range of laws
setting quality of services in this sector. While in other context national policies of health
service assessing regulating body in monitoring and determining laws related to health
guidelines complied within rules of social security field.
P2 Relationship between ethics and legislation in relation to the
work of health and social care practitioners.
The legislation referred to legal rules produces legal bodies authorising, granting, sanctioning,
declaring or restricting certain action. This rule mainly outlines duties for functioning by operators
and shareholder like domestic bodies safeguarding general public. Whereas, regulation is statutes
tool enforced by administrative bodies as division of government. Some of the regulatory bodies are
Work Place Regulation of 1992, Confidentiality: NHS Code,2003 and Manual Handling
Operation,1992 etc. The main characters of Legislative organisation are green, white papers
authorising documentation. Others are bill passed by government, House of Parliament and Royal
authority etc. The behaviour and manner of such body regulating code of standard encourages
healthcare staff to conduct their work in proper way as prescribed in law. It aids such workers
protection, safety, security and quality attention. It is based on decision of such individual working in
organisation displaying its skill.
Whereas, ethical values of such sector of healthcare establishes including nursing or managing staff,
other workers, doctors so on binding it to work in accordance with moral and ethical values

Unit 1 Law, Policy and Ethical Practice in H&SC MRC January 2022
conducting its task in certain criteria which is fair, non judgemental and non prejudice complying
with their duty and obligation to preform its work in relation to health, security, welfare, interest of
society enforcing their obligatory liability of practitioner in such cases. The Framework of National in
2018 provides procedures and methods of NHS and nursing care guiding staff certain ethics and
directing to act upon it. It collaborate with England health services and local bodies. It was published
in 2018. The law makers binds associations to follow regulations preventing legal effects also it does
not comply ethically in spite assist to improve surroundings of companies regulating framework at
internal level with stern implication .
In case of breach in duty experts of healthcare can be bound to abide laws on other hand ethical
codes are nor necessary to comply but recently, this sector demanded rights being necessity to
abide by authorities conducting righteous behaviour. In the moral societal scope the decision
adjudged by ethics and law policy holder are distinct and detached by keeping moral views out of
legal provisions. In reality legal and ethical compliance are inter connected as basis of legal aspect
depends on religious context. For example an individual engaging in unlawful activity where
magistrate adjudges the decision on basis of emotional viewpoint. Where ethic-based opinion lays
great influence on public following ethical conduct shows dependency of legislation on it. With
regards to healthcare and social security exclusively count on this as doctor cannot refuse patient for
conducting care and treatment. It shall not be tolerated as against the oath of such person.
M1 Analyse the relationship between ethics and law in terms of their
relevance to own professional responsibilities as a health or care
practitioner.
The practitioner is duty bound under healthcare sector to conduct itself on ethics complying under it
. For instance physician is responsible to treat its patients and conversation between them must be
private and confidential. The legislation and ethical values serve same object with regards to
healthcare service by individual. It is written regulation enacted by state authority comprising their
accountability of professionals on other hand ethics is certain morals or values which work within
the institution and decision. The common source which are religious, organisation value or culture,
judgements of fairness resulting in personal value system, personal desires, experience in skills etc.
In other words laws represents ethics reshaping its existence and vica versa. It includes rigid
doctrines like abolition of certain customs and practices.
In some instances where commission board of NHS recommending certain changes regarding
offences Act, 1974 held to CQC. The cultural aspects are improved by taking certain measures
relating to behaviour and conduct of professionals in such institution morally or legally.
The three division of government regulating UK administration as legislative, executive, judiciary
which protects organisation providing social safety , framing surroundings for practitioner
conducting their role and function.
It constitutes manner in which professional is required to behave as conferred in common
on statutory laws. In some cases as mercy killing laws are made regarding it but still seen as
immoral act by certain section as many people do not follow as considered to be individual
choice of risk. Therefore, it can be concluded that law and ethics are related with each other
with respect to healthcare and social security referring to practitioner responsibility(Cohen

Unit 1 Law, Policy and Ethical Practice in H&SC MRC January 2022
et.al, 2020).
TASK 2
P3 Relationship between key legislation and national policies, of
direct relevance to health and social care practice.
The legislation are referred as laws in regulating the work of social group under health
and social security . The key elements binds professionals of this field to follow this in
relation to act of 2012 as Health and Social Care provisions which introduces legal liability
with regards to unequal behaviour in terms of health. It applies this regulatory body on
Departmental of health assistance , Clinic commission groups. The national policy or
guidelines mainly confers procedure of consulting with statutory authorities publishing
structure forming while investigating authority and recommending views to state
administrators. There are various laws which are enforced like Health and social Care Act of
2012. In other cases Equality Act of 2012 implies duty of service provider to consider and
advance fairness on regular basis subjecting with duties of staff. It elaborate accountability
of workers in healthcare industry to prevent discrimination or misusing their position. It
includes regulation of body as public health department and so on. It also abolishes prime
care trust and strategy related to healthcare authority in creation of law as Public Health in
England(Cummins, 2018) . This resulted in guidelines as formed by Secretary of state in
relation to health. The other law regarding it was Social Values Act , 2012 it states that
commissioner of public sector reckons factors socially, economically and environment
welfare procuring services or legal agreements. This endeavours to cut down discrimination
with respect to wellness making amends at lodging and work .Various legislation like Care
Act, 2014 elaborates roles to public officials related to assess the requirements of individuals
and their term for locals funding assistance and aid. Further imposing responsibility
encouraging welfare of association where assembly advices them to engage in monetary
fund. This is provides care and attention to groups under Human Rights Act, 1988.

Unit 1 Law, Policy and Ethical Practice in H&SC MRC January 2022
The Heath Act of 2009 brought by NHS legal enforcement authority with aim and object
regarding its morals and ethics as growth is lead by workers, sufferers, public authorities etc.
It discusses rights and duties of employees towards the patient extending in territories of
North Ireland, Scotland, Wales all over the territories of UK. NHS is considered as one of
large institute with numerous percentage of employees increasing on yearly basis. It is mainly
liable to fulfil its obligatory condition referring to social security, healthcare of patients
delivering various strategies and planning making changes in guidelines of organisation for
its growth.
The main goal of laying guidelines related to healthcare and social security providing
standards to service branch for conducting regular working. This aids to give clear
perspective to deal welfare division handling problems arising with engaging in activity
which bare important in relation of decision making effectively carrying out general output.
The policies determines judgement setting in action strategy to process desirable result. For
example- UK guidelines hypothesis regards to Healthcare and Social security researches
varied forms of promoting and safeguarding the interest of clients and customers availing it
like forbearing party and other people engaged in this sector of healthcare. It explains ethical
actions to carry enquiry in relation to trust of victim and other users of services. The other
guidelines laid down by NHS involves policies as in health security at place of employment.
Where Such association code of practising , 2003 ensures the working of individual in
confidential form which maintains health and other aspect related to security of person. The
Public policy of safeguarding guardians in 2013 states that misuse in violating human rights
and civil authority of person safeguards an individual from such abusive behaviour.
The legislation assists to act or engage in project in a way which not unlawful and such
regulations binds the person to abide and guidelines provides structure following it as
blueprint abiding such rules which are inter connected with one another and working
together for welfare and interest of general public. The legal aspects and guidelines shares
consensus relation ensuring to follow these regulation and delivering safety and wellness as
per requirement of person. The public, government at central and state level protects from
intense health peril whereas in other manner refers to whole agency regarding various
regulations conducted by companies obligating to abide under policies working with each
other ensuring to comply with rules preventing legitimate aftermath.

Unit 1 Law, Policy and Ethical Practice in H&SC MRC January 2022
P4 Compare national and organisational policies against the national professional standards in
terms of their impact on health and social care practice.
The varying standards of professional experts describes stages of competency forethought serving
users services related to healthcare and social security which binds person on various level of
administering procedure. This reflect performing capacity to achieve maintaining clinical
competency regulating secure practice in caring service. It generally guides on clinical pattern where
the professionals are directed to secure their position regulating their practice in organisation. The
guidelines laid by companies and at domestic level guiding healthcare department building expertise
for complying with national and organisation policy. Where the latter complies with laws and rules
enforced by polity leaders. It focuses on implementation of domestic guidelines which are managed
by CQC which is Care Quality Management to regulate wellness and security of society. It mandates
to follow these national policy allowing to take care under health sector coming forward with
various policies at organisational level helping to comply with national policy. It carries the work in
this sector providing services for building outstanding enterprise. The code of conduct practitioner
carrying their work on ethics and legal basis. It follows requirement for elimination of opportunity
leading to consequences arising infringement. This lead in framing of standard and codes by
governmental authority regulating practice with regards to healthcare and social service category. It
assures companies enhancing growth and various practice regarding treatment, transferring
actions to commissioned force legitimately carrying work of association taking effect. Where the
conduct of professionals is transgressed then in such case loss of license is subjected to such
healthcare companies which rises obligation on their part(Docherty et.al., 2020). For example-
where the professional or nursing staff violates non disclosing facts with respect to history of illness
or anything deemed to be part of secrecy its non compliance may lead to violating Health security
portable and accountable act having similar effect as professional breach of conduct. This, making
organisation responsible for the omission and ensuring to comply under legal restriction and various
other guidelines. There are plans operated to implement legislation enumerates standard setting
criteria for people by framing policy in a manner accordance to benchmark of experts. It aids to win
argument. The difference between these rules, codes, criteria of practitioner becomes mandate to
abide on consensus of individual but can form compulsion in organisation policy.

Unit 1 Law, Policy and Ethical Practice in H&SC MRC January 2022
M2 Reflect on ways in which specific tasks in the health, care or
support service practice meet national professional standards within
a legal framework.
The compliance of domestic expertise criteria set by healthcare and social security
exercise in forming enterprise planning to comply national plans which works as guidance for
professionals following it. For instance compliance of Care Activities referring to conduct of
workers in organisation. The experts frames company guidelines which requires to fulfil
standards professionally carrying legal tasks by Care activities Act. In case where the surgeon
taking blood pressure of victim marks compulsion in carrying forward actions in prescribed
way at hospital premises. At such time when analysing the BP of sufferer. The professional
conduct of practitioner is seen allowing victim to rest for certain time being before carrying
its work.
D1 Evaluate the relationship between ethics and law and their
impact on organisational policy and practice towards protecting the
rights and maintaining the well being of users of health, care or
support service.
Ethics are considered as moral values binding the enterprise to comply for running
their activity in accordance with custom and belief of people. Whereas, legislation refers to
legal necessity which are created considering ethical values of individual abiding them. In
case of healthcare division companies guidelines patterns complied requiring to safeguard
from facing illegitimate aftermath. Laws are incorporated determining interest of users under
human and civil rights in various enactments like Equality Act and care activities ensuring
interest of service users availing benefits in efficient way. It can be concluded that for
framing various guidelines and plan of action legal and ethical criteria must be kept in mind
for protecting their consumers.

Unit 1 Law, Policy and Ethical Practice in H&SC MRC January 2022
PART 2
TASK 3
P5 Explain how specific national and international law influence and
inform the equitable and fair treatment of others in health, care and
support service.
It provides equal attention to everyone formulating basic principles and human rights .
Where the Equality Act, 2010 discuses to prohibit inequality in place of employment and
reasonable wages with proper and just treatment. Unlike other laws Human Right Act, 1988
states restriction on entertaining unequal behaviour on grounds of colour, sex, race, gender
etc. Under international law, Europe convention Human Right, 1950 states rights of
individual with respect to law makers enforcing local and domestic laws such agencies are
judicial officials, legislators who binds itself to abide by rules of nation. In context of Article
14 the institute provided in preventing inequality by encouraging interest of individual
comforting their needs. These legislation influences the work of healthcare and social security
with no discomfort on part of victims and workers leading to any form of discriminatory
conduct by service providers. Where UK is deponent of Europe council stating compulsion
to adhere ECHR in state. Human Rights, 1988 abides every citizen, association to follow
such rules.
For example- During the employment period in University of London the management
division was able to examine closely the work condition of officials. At the time when victim
was admitted in their premises , administration authority did not reckon any data formality
on initial stage but began the procedure with effect. It includes company strategies where
each person regardless race, gender, colour etc. It should treat the sufferer in hospital and then
ask to fill personal details. This lead to assurance of complying laws and policy. It resulted
clarity in mind of management staff needs of secure workplace promoting equality as

Unit 1 Law, Policy and Ethical Practice in H&SC MRC January 2022
essential element to follow. The medical practitioner and physicians ensured moral values
conducted reviewing considerably on monthly wise complying domestic and foreign
requisite with respect to legal guidelines. Workers and housing staff faced issues and
objection to comply with rules and made sure to enforce them on mandatory basis by medical
institution. The organisation made sure to comply laws, codes, standards and guidelines laid
down by hospital eliminating legal threat harming their generosity . Other than these
regulations the hospital must take care of their victims abiding their basic wants, UK must
follow these rules at national level where it is deponent of ECHR.
P6 Implement different and relevant legislation and policy in regard to safe and healthy
conduct in own practice
It protects crucially the association including child, youngster and weak people
protecting from any misconduct neglecting any form of abuse or injury. The reasoning behind
it was low competency of securing itself. In healthcare department protecting interest of
people is liability of company whether public or private sector. It constitutes four enactments
as Children Act, 1989 which aims to provide well being of adolescents by giving them
importance. Other one is Children and Social Work Act,2017 which comprehends rules of
Child Act putting obligations to impersonal commission group and safeguard informer. It
must makes sure that minors protection is complied in enterprise. Also under the Care
Act,2014 protects the weak people who cannot fight for their rights against any kind of abuse,
injury etc. The Protection of Vulnerable Group Act,2006 aims to offer secure admission of
such people. The secure and friendly environment is obtained from the behaviour of policy
makers enacting laws for interest of individual like this. It further enacts numerous guidelines
through assistance of UK Government ensuring healthcare and security. Some of them are as
to safeguard helpless grownups which is designed to prevent any form of abuse or harm in
wellness industry and offers ways to curb such action and making these people aware for
their rights regarding healthcare and security of people. Other such plan is to safeguard
children and young individuals,2014 by enumerating the background of this act ensuring
various methods eliminating danger or injury to minor. This fixed certain duties and work of
person setting its goal in enterprise ensuring to protect children and young individual security
taking its services. For instance, care home shelters for grownups and minors section in
medical institution. This aims to ensure proper healthcare to victims and binding the
employees as their foremost duty to take reasonable care of sufferers. In the current scenario,

Unit 1 Law, Policy and Ethical Practice in H&SC MRC January 2022
In London hospital there was case of injury to child to which parents explained as an
accident but later it was revealed by surgeon that harm was inflicted having intent to cause it,
such issues was majorly dealt need to be prevented. In accordance with personal view the
implementation of such law as discussed must be effective. The professional experts
immediately took stern action against by informing the authorities about it. This further
ensured to take necessary steps contradicting such guardians to secure child safety. The Care
Act became important in order to safeguard minors, young people, grownups, vulnerable
sections from abusive behaviour. Other regulations also ensured to take proper of care and
maintain comfortable environment to individuals.
M3 Analyse recent health and social care legislation or national
policies in relation to their importance in informing the rights and
responsibilities of health, care or support service practitioners to
provide safe and equitable care.
The experts of healthcare sector are set with numerous rights and duties binding to comply. It
incorporates various laws and guidelines as introduced by governmental authorities of UK
and NHS including under Equality Act stating equal treatment in society. The convention of
United Nation includes rights of child,1989 providing protection to children from any form of
abuse. Further imposing obligation on professionals to protect their rights. Where the Care
Act, 2014 mandates experts and medical specialists to treat the patients and take care of their
well being.
TASK 4
P7 Describe the relationship between law, policy and ethical
requirements in relation to real case scenario in a health or care
setting.
The legislation are essential requisite setting various regulations carrying the work and
regulating role of individual and groups. Where the place of employment requires to follow
legal terms by eliminating danger and threat. These guidelines carries act in lawful way.
Ethics are generally considered as moral values, belief of people in society differentiating
what is correct and wrong. The planning of laws are incorporated considering ethics(Heffron

Unit 1 Law, Policy and Ethical Practice in H&SC MRC January 2022
and Little, 2022).
In the recent case, Wharlton assembly is sovereign medical institution providing services to
people for sanatorium and disable individuals up to 18 years. Other than this hospital was
engaged in treating patients having issues mentally or physically facing encounters in health
and safety conduct. Until 2017,positive response was given by CQC. But in 2019 after the
sting operation of BBC documentary shows the reality of nursing and other staff abusive
behaviour causing harm and threat to victims in their premises. In spite of taking care of
vulnerable adults. Where they had duty to do so they failed in conducting their behaviour.
The scenario states further that management staff of hospital was not successful in abiding
with these legal enactments. For example- In case where on non compliance of Mental Health
Act, imposing liability on healthcare department providing sufficient care to sufferer and
safeguarding the rights of individual going through mental illness . As a substitute prescribed
behaviour, care staff misused their position in threatening and conducting violent act. This
lead to violation of Protection of vulnerable groups act, enforcing various roles to employees
of hospital to protect its patients. On failure of conduct to follow with moral necessity
involving in treating victims on fair and just basis providing services and treatment. The
legislation extends moral values which are followed. It guides in conducting actions of
healthcare association in some situations violation by clinical institution involves policies like
protection of vulnerable adult guidelines stating secure surroundings and treating weak
people in society. This elaborates the current case hospitals did not follow righteous
behaviour morally resulting in devastation of weak grownups. The administrative plans being
vulnerable not considering mandate regulations of institution in complying it. This shows in
failures of laws, policies and ethical manner in organisation. It talks about relation shared by
legal aspects, morals and plans inter connecting with one another having consensus goal to
protect people in providing secure and fair environment. These regulations and rules are
guiding principles with intent to enforce ethnic conduct.
It can inferred that relationship among ethic, policy and legislation are incorporated to
safeguard individuals and punish alleged committing wrong are liable for such unlawful
actions. As complying with Mental Health act, 2017 assisting necessity enforcing protection
to weak people by giving them secure and comfortable environment.

Unit 1 Law, Policy and Ethical Practice in H&SC MRC January 2022
P8 Explain the impact of relevant law and policy on the outcome of real case scenario.
This scenario of Wharlton Hall elaborates abuses conducted by health workers violating and
threatening the weak adult which undertakes the treatment. It further engaged in publishing of
such operation by BBC Landscape in form of documentary giving proof and revealing such
abuse and injury. It confers Equality and Human Rights Commission launches by challenging
legality opposing sector of healthcare and social security in UK condemning to violate
provisional view of EU on human right. It resulted the influence of United Kingdom in taking
steps against nursing staff for non compliance of taking care of vulnerable sections under
Mental health act and protecting Vulnerable adults act.
The surroundings of hospital premises is toxic encouraged the workers to abuse weak people
not takin any action by administration. It constantly avoids such incident, analysing the entire
case the effect the legislation governing it such as vulnerable adult act and mental health act
which forced clinic to shut down their hospital due to non compliance of laws, guidelines and
moral actions. The institution of CQC entrusting roles monitoring excellence due to failure of
revealing it. At the time of investigation the body of Care Quality commission incorporates
that organisation breach regulatory provision remaining calm. It ensures violation of Care act.
This results in output that victims shifts to numerous services leading to closing of clinic.
This abuse of sufferer forces authority in taking actions as violating legislations and
guidelines committing breach and infringement against human rights of people over every
laws and policies under Care quality Act, 2012(Gupta, et.al, 2021).
In other cases involves non compliance leading to abusive behaviour and harming victims. It
violates mental health imposing obligation on staff in taking care and safety of patients
providing proper treatments. The administrators of organisation neglecting in caring and
nursing individual on fair and proper manner. Moreover, the association elaborates in closing
of clinical institution because of non regulation of laws and policy like Care act and
healthcare safety rules where interest of patients was ignored under Vulnerable aduults act.

Unit 1 Law, Policy and Ethical Practice in H&SC MRC January 2022
M4 Explain in detail how chosen law, policy and ethical
considerations might result in difference outcomes to the case
scenario.
This case study examines that hospital premises role complies with legislation and guidelines where
the organisation was facing problems leading to shutting it down. The laws regulated under Mental
Health act of 2017, protects being duty bound for rights in accordance with Mental health act
obligating the institution to carry work in securing their rights for surviving conditions with regards
to patients of mental disorder combating it by taking action against alleged. In the regulatory
provision of protecting vulnerable people, organisation should ensure secure surroundings and
treating victims in case of no compliance resulting in such output which could be distinct in
administering institution and bodies like CQC and various authorities reporting such incidents on
prior basis. In the case there was default on part of administrative department where on contrary
if due care and attention are liad by staff members towards patient then its reputation or image
will not be distorted as they are obligation under oath to take care of sufferer in premises of
hospital under various laws as discussed above. Due to failure of hospital to conduct its work in
accordance with moral values were negligent in safeguarding its victims which lead to closing of
hospital.
D2 Critically review ways in which health, care and support service
practitioners can ensure currency and compliance with relevant
legislation and national policies through ethical practice in relation
to real case scenario.
To follow such order some relevant domestic guidelines and laws are required to abide by
professionals of healthcare division ensuring in taking prescribed moral values in institution
in complying with legal policy. These ethical standards enumerates develops in accordance
with expert recommendation as followed by legislation guiding to comply with legality and
planning aspect in society. In furtherance to case discussed, the Wharlton association
manages mandatory policy and moral values so as to abide by law. It binds the employees
and care workers to follow ethical grounds laid by organisation as compulsion as a guidelines
and legislation(Cohen,, Gostin and Weitzner,, 2020).
