Health and social care management

MANAGEMENT 1
1.1) As a role of manager, it is my responsibility that to embrace all individuals, families,
associates, and those I am working in partnership with are treated in a similar manner.
In addition, everyone should be treated with full dignity and respect.
In aligning with my roles there are many Codes of procedures, organisation policies
and legislations that controls inclusion and diversity (Tatli, 2011).
 Health and Social care act 2008
 Equality Act 2010
 Race Relations Act 1976
 Human Rights Act 2000
 Essential standards for quality and safety
 Care Standards Act 2000
 The Disability Discrimination Act 2005
 The Data Protection Act 1984
1.2) The central principles in social care are equality of opportunity, inclusion and anti-
discrimination (Thmopson, 2016). Barriers are known to be as those aspects that
prevent or make access to service more typical for particular groups and individuals.
Various kinds of barriers that exist are –
 Cultural – Bearing of spirituals aspects, dietary or relational requirements that
do not adapt to old-style prospects.
 Personal – for instance, the individual prejudices are held by certain
individuals having impact on their practice. These activities may be cognisant
but can often be unconscious. There is also needs to give more support to the
disadvantages individuals so that their voice can be heard and they are able to
hold in the power in terms of decision making process.
 Physical – may be related to the creation of the environment, for instance,
facing difficulty in gain access to building, absence of toilets and lifts, etc.
When any of the above occucs individuals may feel overloaded,
disempowered and helpless, etc.
 Communication – may also happen as individuals have dissimilar needs in
relation to communication. These barriers are not always connected to the
disabled person impairment, for instance, giving data in accessible formats.

 Institutional – Here the policies, processes and practices preserve an
organisational culture that ignores several groups and individuals. Due to
some of external and others factors could also cause some barriers such as the
mode by which services are formed, for instance, commonly employment of
agency staff shows that organisation is lacking in effective recruitment, which
shows negative experience for the residents.
The legislations relating to diversity, equality and inclusion provides protection from
discrimination on grounds of age, disability and gender. This will also impact service
users as they need to ensure that the needs are met and every user is receiving quality
care and respect. Moreover, staff will also focused to meet certain needs standards.
Workplace procedures also embrace well practice regarding the necessary assistance
needs to be carried out.
1.3) As a team, we encourage equality and upholds individuals equality of opportunity,
their privacy, dignity, independence, equality of care, their desires and requirements.
As a team, we promote the following –
 Conventions – Encourage resident to participate in meetings and providing
rights to discuss meals they wish to desire like respective menu in the week,
various activities and day trips they want to go upon.
 Compliant process – To meets the needs of service users, there is a procedure
n need to be available in various formats.
 Upholding privacy – Storing of all necessary information of user securely and

desires.
