The disability discrimination act was started in 1995 but was later updated in 2005 and what it aim is to put an end to discrimination which is aimed at the disabled in any different situations for example not be able to go a certain school because it does not have ramps or a lift within the building which will enable a student from learning where they want to learn or there not being a ramp to get onto the local buses which would stop the disabled in wheel chairs from travailing when they want and will result in them becoming more dependent on other which could lead to  a low self-esteem problem and what the disability act does makes it illegal to do things like that without a justified reason.

The way that the disability discrimination act covers people is by how much they are affected by their mental or physical disability so for example someone may suffer from depression but they may not be affected by it a great deal so they might not be classes as disabled but if someone is seriously disabled but they do not see themselves has being disabled they still are covered by the disability discrimination act for example if someone was missing a leg they will be classed as physically disabled but because they are able to do everything but themselves without the need of assistance by using a wheel chair and walking stick and did not think they where disabled but they still are.

Star rating 3 This essay covers 6 legislations that are used to prevent discrimination. Most are described and explained. Another two legislations / regulations could also be included to ensure that 50% of the list from the specification has been covered, for example, the Care Standards Act 2000 and the Equality Act 2010 could also be included. The section on codes of practice is unclear but codes of conduct have been covered well. Charters have not been covered, such as Better Care Higher Standards. Organisational policies and procedures have been defined and confidentiality covered well, as well as staff training being considered. However, 3 other aspects of policies and procedures could also be included, for example, the positive promotion of individual rights, as well as the use of advocacy and complaints procedures. The effects of discriminatory practice have been covered mostly well. How anti-discriminatory practice is promoted in health and social care settings has been started, for example, through person centred planning, but is unfinished, for example, ethical principles, balancing individual rights with the rights of others, dealing with conflicts and identifying and challenging discrimination have not been considered. Personal beliefs and value systems have also not yet been covered. Proofreading of the content is required to improve the use of English.
