Describe how anti-discriminatory practice is promoted.

Hi Gail,
I've spent the week at Dover Hall Residential Care Home situated in Derbyshire. The care home specializes in elderly residents who have Dementia. It is beautifully presented throughout and it offers residents a clean environment in which to stay.

Promoting anti-discriminatory practice at Dover Hall Residential Care Home:
The care home follows acts in place which promotes anti-discriminatory practice.

• The Data Protection Act 1998:

This act is there to govern individual's data. It protects people's right to privacy. By not having the access to individuals data, people can not discriminate and people are protected against discrimination.

• Nursing and Residential Care Home Regulations 1984

The act states that all residents should get treated with the same amount of equality in a nursing and residential care home. This will stop discrimination as a resident can't be penalized as the act is there to protect residents and to ensure that they are treated equally.

• Care Standard Act 2000

This act is in place to ensure that all care institutions abide by providing each service user with equality care. This prevents discrimination as a resident can't be victimized.

• Sex Discrimination Act 1975

The act is there to ensure that men and women are treated the same. This stops discrimination in Dover Hall Care Home as men and women are treated the same regardless of their sex.

• Age Discrimination Act 2006

The act protects an individual from being discriminated against regarding their age. This prevents discrimination in Dover Hall Care Home as residents or employees can not be discriminated against as the law is their for protection so it should be abided by.
