Introduction
Discrimination – The unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age or gender.
Discrimination is unlawful in Britain, it can make service users lose self-esteem, self-confidence and leave them depressed. Their rights are taken away from them. There are two types of discrimination, overt and covert discrimination.
Overt discrimination This is when someone is openly discriminating against an individual, an example of this is a health and social care setting paying a male nurse more money than a female nurse for the same job, directly because of their gender. In the health care sector, overt discrimination is more likely to be seen in the way a patient is treated by staff.
Covert discrimination
Covert discrimination can be best described as being hidden away. An example of this is three individuals applying for the same job as a nurse; they should all be shortlisted using the same criteria. However, if the shortlist panel decided not to call someone for an interview based on their name or area they lived in, this would be covert discrimination.
There are many effects of discriminatory practice
