Anti-Discriminatory Practice

Anti-discriminatory practice aims to stop discrimination in all forms and promote equality, diversity and rights. Every organisation from hospitals, schools, day cares, homes etc. will have policies that provide guidance on anti-discriminatory practice.

All service users are different, and have different needs. The health professionals need to ensure all service users are given the same opportunities, despite their colour, race, gender, sexuality etc. To promote anti-discriminatory practice within health and social settings health professions must ensure equal access to all health services without discrimination. Ensure that resources are available in different languages. For example a pregnancy book should be available in different languages
