Be able to work in an inclusive way

Case Study

You overhear a practitioner complaining to another practitioner that she thinks Mr R should not be allowed to wear a turban in the nursing home, as “no one else wears a hat”.
  1. How might you challenge this discrimination?
  2. How could you do so in a way that will help the other practitioner to change their practice?
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your assessor.
