What is the principles of social justice?Show answer
Social justice provides the values that underpin health promotion. The main principles are equity, access, participation and human rights. Equity means fairness, ensuring resources match need. Access means everyone can obtain the services and conditions for health.
What is acting on inequity?Show answer
Applying social justice means designing action that reaches those with the greatest need and removes barriers to access and participation. This can mean culturally safe services, local delivery in remote areas, removing cost barriers, and involving communities in decisions. Evaluating a program through a social justice lens asks not only whether average health improved but whether the gap between groups narrowed.
What is applying this in assessment?Show answer
In responses, define the relevant principle, distinguish equity from equality where it matters, and apply the idea to a specific group and issue. Use the social determinants to explain why the inequity exists, then judge whether a proposed action is genuinely equitable. Examiners reward answers that move from naming principles to applying them to evidence.
