The most possible consequences of not actively
complying equality, diversity, inclusions and discrimination legislations are
to be investigated by Care Quality Commission (CQC) and shut down the business
operations.
Let’s explore more. Before we consider
involvement of CQC, there are more possible consequences for a company will
experience from other partners. Equality, diversity, inclusion and
discrimination are not just only a piece of legislation, but also codes of
ethics for a business. Codes of ethics are the moral value or belief of a
business. It means that what is a business’ viewpoint or stand on those
beliefs about equal pay, rights, respecting ethnic values, disability and
anti-discrimination practices. And these codes of ethics are vital to partner
with other businesses such as local authority, suppliers, National Health
Service (NHS), General Practitioner (GP) and agencies. These partners may not start
or continue to partnership with a business, for not having same codes of
ethics. So a business cannot be operational until complying with legislation
and codes of ethics relating to diversity, equality, inclusion and
discrimination.
