P2 – discrimination Direct discrimination Indirect discrimination Overt individuals openly discriminate against others. Occurs when it is obvious by words or actions of an individual that they are deliberately disadvantaging against another person. E.g. Within a care setting giving preferential treatment to some groups or denying treatment to other groups or being paid less because you are male/female This is not as obvious (Covert), it may even be unintentional. It is when certain conditions are in place that demonstrates a preference for some people over others. Rules and regulations make it impossible for a person belonging to a specific group to fully participate in society. Difficult to prove, because it is not obvious that this is what is happening. Eg. telling a joke to a work colleague about a Jewish person
