Discuss discriminatory practice within health and social care
4 star(s)This could include treating someone differently to someone else.

If you reported this kind of discriminatory practice then it is often very difficult to provide inclusive evidence to support this.

This is very similar to covert abuse of power, the only difference is that a professional will openly discriminate and abuse their power.
