For each of the considerations in the table below, identify the overarching statement or agreement that contributed to the legislation, and what the relevant federal, state, or local legislation is. Identify how each of these are then applied in practice.

FEEDBACK

This table has three columns for you to respond to:

Column one:

this is the practices that you need to address with the following three columns

Column two: overarching statements

you will need to relate your answers to the practices in each section with an international agreement or statement.

For example, one that relates to discrimination is the Convention of the Rights of People with Disabilities and the Declaration of Human Rights. You may end up using a specific declaration for several practices but there are some that are very specific for that practice.

Column three:

This is where you would put federal and state acts that relate to the practice.

For example, Age discrimination Act 2004, Disability Discrimination Act 1992 etc

Column four:

This is where you would discuss how you apply these acts to your work. Focus is on wellbeing of the client

For example, with discrimination you might say these laws seek for worker to apply anti-discrimination actions when supporting clients such as giving respect, acknowledging their cultural and ethnicity when including them in decision making processes. As a worker it is a responsibility to ensure that there is no discrimination for the client, their families and other workers and members of the public.
