Cycle Of Discrimination In Health And Social Care

There is a cycle of discrimination. An individual is discriminated against, they therefore feel powerless, causing low self-esteem, this in turn could cause them to lose the motivation to care for themselves causing them to need more support and ultimately leading to more discrimination. Inclusiveness tries to break this negative cycle to reducing the likelihood of discrimination by supporting diversity and welcoming peoples individual differences. If a customer feels their culture and beliefs are being respected and feel that care workers are responding sensitively to their own individual needs this creates a sense of belonging and wellbeing for that customer, and allows them to maintain a valued participant in the care that they receive.
