Equalising Opportunities Minimising Oppression

<p>Anti-Racist Practice (ARP) Anti-Discriminatory Practice (ADP) and Anti-Oppressive Practice (AOP) form a trinity of concepts nested into one another which have evolved in welfare services over the last fifteen years. They tend to have developed as forms of practice panaceas and as a result have been subject to both unrealistic expectations and at times to political ridicule. This book clarifies the distinctions between three key concepts - ARP ADP and AOP. Critically and constructively analysing these three approaches to practice it reappraises their potential in the light of emerging equality issues in the health service<br> With contributions from leading teachers and practitioners in the field <em>Equalising Opportunities</em> provides students and practitioners in health and social care with a clear overview of an area where there is much confusion and imperfect understanding.</p>
