LO2 Understand the impact of discriminatory practices on individuals in health, social care & child care environments Activity page 28 – Who are they?  Discriminatory practices Involves treating someone unfairly or less favourably compared to others Many forms – verbal, physical, psychological  Basis of discrimination Race Culture Disability Social class Age Gender Sexual orientation Religion/belief Gender reassignment Marriage & civil partnership Pregnancy & maternity  Does social class matter? YouTube clip – I know my place https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUkXD7K3dis  Types of discrimination 1. Abuse Neglect – basic needs are not met (warmth, food, clean clothing) Sexual – unwanted sexual contact Verbal – name calling, insults, swearing that humiliate & reduce dignity Physical – physical pain e.g. bruising, broken bones Psychological – threats & constant criticism undermine & control the person being abused 2. Direct discrimination Intentionally putting someone at a disadvantage or treating them unfairly based on their differences E.g. You’re heterosexual. An estate agent refuses to let you a flat because he thinks you’re gay. This is direct discrimination by perception because of sexual orientation which is a protected characteristic under the Equality Act. 3. Indirect discrimination When a policy, practice or rule applies to everybody but has a detrimental effect on or disadvantages some people or a particular group E.g. A shop manager introduces a rule that all employees must work at least two Saturdays each month in the shop. This new rule could be indirect discrimination against any employees who are practising Jews, since Saturday is a religious day in Judaism. 4. Prejudice A negative attitude or dislike of an individual or group often based on ill-informed personal opinion about one of the aspects E.g. Some parents will not approve of their children marrying anyone of a different race or religion. Typically, these parents believe their ethnic or cultural background is superior to others. Shying away from a person with a mental illness because you are afraid they will hurt you. 5. Stereotyping Making judgements of individuals or groups of people based on prejudices Often offensive & exaggerated E.g. Girls are better behaved than boys. 6. Labelling Negative approach that identifies people as members of a particular group with the assumption that they are all the same. E.g. All blondes are dumb. 7. Bullying Involves threatening, intimidating, humiliating or frightening others Repeated behaviour Aimed at physically or psychologically hurting them E.g. A care worker bullying an elderly person to give them money. State the type of discrimination for each of the following: 1. A hospital does not have information leaflets available in different languages. 2. Calling someone offensive names 3. A primary teacher says that girls always get better results than boys. 4. A day care centre for teenagers with physical disabilities provides craft activities for girls & sports activities for boys. Individuals affected Table, page 30  Impact on individuals Can negatively affect PIES.
