Unit 2 P4- explain how national initiatives promote anti-discriminatory practice
The data protection act- the data protection act is legislation put in place to keep personal data confidential. It can promote anti-discriminatory practice as it can stop people finding out information about individuals that the individual wants to stay private. E.g. phone numbers and addresses. These would need to stay private so people don’t find out where you live or what is wrong with you.
The children act 1989- the children act is a legislation that ensures the welfare of children. This would promote anti-discriminatory practice by protecting children and treating them all equally. This could be by stopping abuse and giving children a safe and secure home to live in.
The children act 2004- the children act 2004 is basically the same as the 1989 version, but the 2004 updated version focuses on keeping children healthy, safe, making sure they enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution to society, and achieve economic wellbeing. It can promote anti-discrimination practice by making sure that all children get an education, get treated equally, protecting them and giving them a safe secure environment to live in. It can also promote anti-discriminatory practice by giving children rights.
The sex discrimination act 1975- the sex discrimination act makes it unlawful to discriminate against someone because of their gender. The legislation was put in place so men and women wouldn’t get discriminated in the work place. For example teaching is usually stereotyped as a woman’s job and lorry driving is stereotyped as a man’s job. In a health and social care setting it could help promote anti-discriminatory practice by giving men and women equal opportunities to work. This means women and men will get the same pay, can work any job without getting discriminated against for doing a “woman’s” job like being a nurse or a teacher and vice versa.
