Question 2- Case Study & Questions

Please read the case study below and use it to answer question 2 only:

You are waiting at a bus stop in a busy town centre. You notice a young lady who is
wearing a hoody (a hooded sweatshirt). She is using the hoody to cover his head
and part of her face on a fairly warm day. She is also wearing dark sunglasses. She
is showing nervous mannerisms and keeps pacing up and down.
A friend of hers comes by and you notice that as they shake hands, an envelope is
exchanged. There are school children also waiting at the bus stop. She makes
another call and you can gather from what they are saying that someone will be
coming to drop a parcel off with her, at the bus stop, in about 10 minutes.

Would you call the police or you would act as though nothing had happened?

With reference to a minimum of 3 relevant ethical theories / approaches,
discuss the approach that you would take towards resolving this issue. Also, why
you chose a particular approach.

Question 3 – Job adverts

Scrutinise the job adverts: Job 1 and Job 2 below, and determine which one is legal,

consider the concepts of ‘positive action’ and ‘positive discrimination’ while
responding to the questions.

should have a strong interest in the delivery of local public services, be able to take
the initiative and have the confidence to relate to people at all levels within the
council.

Job 2 – IT & Communication opportunity

We believe there should be a better representation of our diverse society in IT &
Communication, and each year we offer placements for two to three weeks for
students or graduates. This year our London office is running a scheme for
individuals with disabilities.
To be considered for a placement you must be at least 18, an EEA resident with the
right to work or train in the UK and able to demonstrate a genuine interest in IT &
Communication. The aim of the scheme is to introduce young people into the IT &
Communication environment. For this reason, we regret that those with experience
in IT & Communication are not eligible to apply for these placements.

Scrutinise both adverts and determine if they are all legal under UK Equality &
Diversity laws.
