Describe Health and Social Care Service Provision for looked after children and young people. What is the purpose of each of the job roles function in the care of looking after children and young people?
LO2: Describe Health and Social Care Service Provision for looked after children and young people. Introduction On this part of unit ten, I am going to explain the provision for looked after children and young people in a health and social care service, in this I am including the three main parts in the task which are; Care 2 Organisation of care provision 3 Job-roles Care Permanent Foster Care Permanent foster care is when the social worker hands over the responsibility for the child or children's welfare to the foster carer as they are now responsible for their day to day care throughout their childhood. This might be that the child's parents have not met the social worker's standard such as financial and environmental standards so that the child can benefit from. However permanent fostering is required as its aim is to place children in permanent foster placements who have spent a period of time with temporary foster carers and need to be placed with a family on a permanent basis. A scenario of this is if a child have experienced difficulties in their family which means they are unable to return home what ever the circumstances, they can still maintain some contact with the birth family. The benefits to permanent foster carer is that you will receive training, support and advice to help you develop as a foster carer. A fostering allowance is provided for foster
There are many theories that involve communication to help improve interactions. They are structure of interaction, listening skills and communicating cycle, SOLER principles, group structures and group information. The two theories I am going to discuss
Communication theories There are many theories that involve communication to help improve interactions. They are structure of interaction, listening skills and communicating cycle, SOLER principles, group structures and group information. The two theories I am going to discuss are the structure of interaction and SOLER principles. Structure of interaction In a structure of interaction normally there are three steps procedures which are beginning, middle and end. A particular theorist view was not stated in my research which is why it has been explained in scenarios of the structure of interaction. The format style is having a starting point by acquainted, starting off a conversation creating the right atmosphere for the communicator to feel comfortable in creating the right emotions. Showing characteristics of being friendly calm and interested in what the communication is going to be about. The middle part of the interaction is about the more revelation of the interaction. The middle contains the most important pointers for a communication as it involves listening, expressing and understanding. These aspects have to be considered so that the interaction is successful between two people. Finally the end of the conversation is all about showing that they have listened to each other. I will be observing a teacher from my care setting to see if she uses the whole structure of
Drug abuse and dependence
The term drug abuse most often refers to the use of a drug with such frequency that it causes physical or mental harm to the user or impairs social functioning. Although the term seems to imply that users abuse the drugs they take, in fact, it is themselves or others they abuse by using drugs. Traditionally, the term drug abuse referred to the use of any drug prohibited by law, regardless of whether it was actually harmful or not. This meant that any use of marijuana, for example, even if it occurred only once in a while, would constitute abuse, while the same level of alcohol consumption would not. In 1973 the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse declared that this definition was illogical. The term abuse, the commission stated, "has no functional utility and has become no more than an arbitrary code word for that drug presently considered wrong." As a result, this definition fell into disuse. The term drug is commonly associated with substances that may be purchased legally by prescription for medical use, such as penicillin, which is almost never abused, and Valium, which is frequently abused, or illegal substances, such as angel dust, which are taken for the purpose of getting high, or intoxicated, but actually have no medical use. Other substances that may be purchased legally and are commonly abused include alcohol (see alcoholism) and nicotine, contained in
Observation in the Nursery
A02: Observation in the Nursery As part of my coursework I had to observe a care worker, I chose to observe the nursery nurse. I carried out my observation in the nursery at Beech hill primary school. I observed the communication skills that the nursery nurse used to communicate with the children. I observed the nursery nurse using four different methods of communication skills: > Tone and pace > Eye contact and body language > Empathising > Clarifying Tone and Pace Tone and pace are two different types' communication methods but it is normally used together. Using the two communication methods together makes communication more effective. Tone is the reverberation of the voice which we use to communicate with each other. Tone is set as a non verbal communication because it is separated from spoken words. We use tone to communicate and send out messages for example tone is used to show if someone is angry, not interested it is also used to show attraction and sympathy. It is important to use tone in the tight way because if it isn't it can give out the wrong message to people. Tone is the attitude of the speaker as revealed in the choice of the tone of speech. Pace is the tempo of conversation. It is important that pace is used correctly because if it used to fast or to slow it can be hard for another person to understand and also a person may start to find a
Identify the different factors that influence dietary intake for different population groups and explain the factors affecting the nutritional health and welling of different groups of individuals and evaluate the relative importance of different factors
National Diploma Year 1 Health and Social Care in Health Studies Unit 21 Nutrition for Health and Social Care Teacher: Sarah Cooper Identify the different factors that influence dietary intake for different population groups and explain the factors affecting the nutritional health and welling of different groups of individuals and evaluate the relative importance of different factors affecting the nutritional health and welling of two different groups of individuals By Sarah-Jane Burke Not all new mothers are able to breast-feed their babies for a number of different reasons such as illness, lack of milk produced or simply personal choice. Infant formula will then be given as a replacement for breast milk. Most infant formulas are made from cows' milk that has been modified to make the protein, fat and carbohydrate similar to that of human milk. Some babies are intolerant to these formulas and are given 'hypoallergenic' milks. Milk intolerance is intolerance to either the protein component of milk or to lactose, which is a naturally-occurring sugar found in milk. Regular cows' milk does not provide nutrients needed by infants. In infants under 1 year of age, cows' milk should not be the main drink, as it is a poor source of iron. However, it can be a component of the weaning diet. These formulas can be expensive to buy, mothers or families on low income can received
Identify the current relevant legislation affecting the care of children and young people. Which laws could help th echildren in the case studies?
P2: Identify the current relevant legislation affecting the care of children and young people In this assignment I am going to indentify the current legislation affecting the care of young people and children. I am going to describe five legislations and provide a case study for the legislations and then explain in detail how the legislation works to protect young people and children. What are legislations? How do they work? Children Act 1989, 2004: This is one of the first pieces of legislations to recognise that the needs of the children are important. This Act first came part of the legislation framework in 1989 and was designed to ensure that all the local authorities are providing equal standards of care and support to children/young children and their families. The act also includes the support of children who are disabled and when they reach the age of 18 they will come under the NHS and community care act 1990. Case study: Emma is 6 years of age and has been neglected by her mother; she lives in poor condition and rarely attends school. The school have notified the social services about the way Emma comes to school as she is very underweight and withdrawn from others in her class. The social services have the right to take Emma away and put her in a children's care home for a while because her mother was unfit to look after her, the child protection act is
P2: Use recognised terminology to explain the importance of promoting equality, recognising diversity and respecting rights in health and social care settings
P2: Use recognised terminology to explain the importance of promoting equality, recognising diversity and respecting rights in health and social care settings Terminology Equality: This means that all people have the same value but instead of treating everyone the same we treat people as an individual. This is because we all different meaning we will all have different needs, for example someone with a disability may need extra help or things have to be done differently to ensure they can access things unlike someone who isn't disable and may not need extra help and attention. Every work place should have an equal opportunities policy to ensure that people are treated equally in relation to access to work and also to pay and conditions of work. This would also make sure that service users are not subject to discrimination through the actions or lack of action of the staff and also make that they are not being treated differently because of their background, beliefs and values. Diversity: This is what we use to describe the range of differences of every individual and we believe it's important acknowledge, recognise, accept and value those differences. It's important that health and social care worker know that some differences can affect the health and health care of individuals, for example someone's religion can affect the food choice of the individual. Because of this
The Effects Of Smoking On The Lungs
Eva Sorensen The Effects Of Smoking On The Lungs Smoking has been linked with a number of serious illnesses, such as lung cancer and cancer of the oral cavity, oesophagus and larynx. Tobacco smoking is responsible for nearly all cases of a chronic breathing obstruction known as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD. COPD includes diseases like emphysema and chronic bronchitis, and leaves sufferers breathless and unable to do many activities. Cigarette smoke has chemicals that can make normal cells change into cancer cells. Some of the contents are: * Nicotine - the addictive drug in tobacco, which increases the smoker's blood pressure and heart rate. Concentrated nicotine is a deadly poison and is widely used as insecticide. * Carbon Monoxide - a poisonous gas produced by burning tobacco, which is absorbed into the bloodstream where it decreases the amount oxygen available to body, and forces the heart to work harder. * Arsenic - used in rat poison * Sulphur dioxide - a food preservative * Acetone - this is the chemical used in nail varnish remover * Methanol - anti-freeze fluid * Methane - a component of rocket fuel * Ammonia - used in floor cleaner * Cadmium - used in batteries * Formaldehyde - used to preserve body tissue * Butane - lighter fluid * Hydrogen cyanide - the poison used in gas chambers * Tar - this is a group of sweet smelling
aids in usa
Introduction AIDS was first identified in the USA in 1981. The epidemic has now spread to every part of the USA and to all sectors of society. It is thought that more than one million people are living with HIV in the USA and that more than half a million have died after developing AIDS. American HIV surveillance data are not comprehensive so many statistics must be based on reports of AIDS diagnoses. In interpreting such AIDS statistics, it is important to remember that they do not correspond to new HIV infections. Most people live with HIV for several years before developing AIDS. AIDS statistics People living with AIDS At the end of 2007, the CDC estimates that 468,578 people were living with AIDS in America, around 20,000 more than 2006. This number includes all people who have ever been diagnosed with an AIDS-defining condition and are believed to be alive, including many people who have recovered their health by taking antiretroviral therapy. The chart below shows the ethnicities of these people, revealing that black Americans have been disproportionately affected. The charts below show how adults and adolescents (aged 13 and over) living with AIDS most likely became infected with HIV. Just over 75% of adults and adolescents living with AIDS are men. An estimated 3,792 children aged under 13 were living with AIDS at the end of 2007. The vast majority of these
