Assignment

Today's assignments broken down:

Pick two laws (legislation) and briefly describe what they are about.
Then say how they link into equality,diversity,inclusion and discrimination.

Eg; The Disibility Discrimination Act states that all businesses where possible must ensure that disabled people can have access to their premises. This means that they have access doors and ramps.

At Surestart Byker they follow the disability discrimination act by having a ramp up the building for access, and self opening doors so that wheelchairs,prams and people that need extra width can get through the door.This means that the majority of people can equally access the centre and inclusion can be equal for all.




The consequences of not complying with the law- look at internet- type in nhs dumps  information-see what happened to them..were they fined? Jailed?


Last piece on how you feel about things can influence your working practices: Being non-judgemental, keeping your opinions to yourself, embracing other cultures and beliefs into your everyday work.

  1. Today we were given an assignment, where we have to research two key legislation's and how they relate to equality,diversity, inclusion and discrimination. I think researching these legislation's and codes of practice will be quite interesting as there are many to choose from. Also looking at the consequences of not complying with the legislation's and practices will prove an interesting read too.
    In today's session we also got time one on one with Tracy to look at our files and discuss our work and the course so far. I liked this as it give us the opportunity to get feed back from Tracy and i came away from this feeling very proud and confident in my abilities to complete this course and to progress even further. :)
