Dietary Requirements Introduction The aim of this assignment is to investigate the dietary requirements for people of different ages, gender and lifestyles. This will include looking at the nutrients found in a variety of different food groups and also calorie intake. As males require a higher calorie intake than females, when referring to a persons calorie requirement at different stages I will be stating the number as male/female, e.g. at age 0-3 months a male requires 545 kcal and females require 515 kcal, so this will be expressed as 0-3 months = 545/515 kcal. Calorie Intake A person's energy requirement will vary throughout their life due to growth and activity levels, increasing greatly through its early stages, puberty and teens, then declining slowly from the age of twenty. Over the first four months breast milk is fed to a baby, which provides the required antibodies and nutrition. At this stage the calorie requirement is 545/515. Between four to six months, the energy requirement is increased to 690/645. During this weaning stage the baby is fed pureed baby food, either homemade or shop bought, specifically for babies of that age and not contain any cow's milk, wheat, citrus fruits or added salt. At six months, solid foods can be introduced; as the energy requirements go up to 825/765 at seven months, 920/865 at ten. It is still important to avoid added
Evaluate different sociological explanations for patterns and trends of health and illness in two different social groups
Evaluate different sociological explanations for patterns and trends of health and illness in two different social groups Chances of becoming ill and even dying are linked to several factors which include social class, gender, age and ethnicity. The two social groups I have chosen to compare are social class and gender. I will talk about how these social groups affect health issues and explain the sociological perspectives and the patterns and trends. Social class and patterns of health and illness Social class is the ranking of people based on their occupation, education, income and manners. It is said that the higher your social class, the healthier you are. Poverty and inequality in society have effects on the social, physical and mental well-being of an individual. These two factors are closely linked. The infant mortality rate - IMR - for children born to poor parents are higher than that of a child born to rich parents. People from a higher social class are much less likely to die of conditions such as cancer, heart diseases and strokes and also tend to live longer compared to others. The Black Report - which was introduced in 1980 - examined the health differences of people by dividing the population into five social classes and provides information on how social and environmental factors of health and illness and life expectancy are linked to one another. This
Explain the types of social care provision and trusts
In England there is an estimated 21,900 organisations that are involved in providing and organising social care for adults and an estimated number of 48,300 establishments that employ adult social care staff in proving and organising such service. These adult social care organisations are growing and increasing over the years as the number of jobs in the service is growing in the workforce. In general, there are three key elements in the provision within the social care sector: * Statutory; * Voluntary; * Private. Statutory care provision means that the type of care is provided by the government, such as the NHS for the UK. These involve general and regional hospitals and also primary care trusts. Voluntary provisions include national and local charities. The national charities are funded by people all around the nation and can be worldwide as well. They can include major providers that support people who are in need of care alongside their families in the UK to improve their lives. However, a local charity is done on a smaller scale and helps care services in the local area, for example a hospice. Private provisional care means the care is provided to the patient directly while they pay at the time of the service. Many private and independent practises are available all around the country that only offers their services on a private base which patients have to pay
Childcare in Education Level 3, Unit 1. The different sectors involved in education and relevant legislation.
Unit 1 assignment. Statutory sector education is provided my law by the government or by the local authorities for children aged 5 - 18. What the setting teach is based on the National Curriculum or the EYFS framework. One example of a setting which is a statutory sector is a mainstream primary or secondary school. Statutory sector supports children and their families by providing a childcare facility and education which in turn provides a good start in life and a place where parents know that their children are safe. It also provides a routine that helps children later in life to deal with work schedules. Voluntary sector is paid for by donations and charities, however the authorities do pay for the upkeep. The voluntary sector depends on voluntary, rather than paid for effort, an example of a voluntary sector setting is a youth centre. These organisations add value to the community and bring the community closer together, voluntary sectors provide their own child protection, health and safety and data protection policies and procedures, however still undergo regular OFSTED inspections. Voluntary sectors provide a place for underprivileged children to socialise with children they might not have met otherwise, it also provides a place for children of families with low incomes to go which requires no membership or fee, voluntary settings also usually provide a volunteer
Unit 3 Health, Safety and Security in Health and Social Care. Describe how health and safety legislation, policies and procedures promote the safety of individuals in a health or social care setting.
P2 - Outline how legislation, policies and procedures relating to health, safety and security influence health and social care settings. M1 - Describe how health and safety legislation, policies and procedures promote the safety of individuals in a health or social care setting. Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) Regulations 1995 These regulations were first introduced in 1995. Their aim is to make sure that food hygiene is regulated across Europe and that food poisoning is prevented by ensuring that * Food areas are kept in a clean and good condition and maintain the standards of personal hygiene; * Foods are cooked thoroughly; * Foods are kept at the appropriate temperature; * Prevention of cross-contamination is put into practice. All health and social care settings need to ensure that their kitchens meet the requirements of the regulations. For example, the care home used in the case study in P1 had a kitchen used by staff and service users. The staff and clients using the kitchen need to make sure they wear aprons and gloves at all times to ensure that cross-contamination is prevented and hygiene is promoted. There should be separate chopping boards available for raw and ready-to-eat foods in the kitchen. Good hygiene should be practiced at all times because raw/uncooked foods can come into contact with cooked foods and this can cause food poisoning.
Types of communication and interpersonal interactions
Ruslana Radeva Types of communication and interpersonal interactions Communication in health and social care with the service user and service provider plays a very important role. It is needed to develop positive relationships and share information with people that are using the services. It’s also needed to be able to communicate well with service user’s families or carers as their own colleagues and other professionals. There are two ways to communicate in health and social care either verbally or non-verbally. Health and social care settings can be voluntary, statutory or non statutory. Statutory care settings are governmental such as NHS and Non-statutory means it is not laid down in law. Laws passed by Parliament are statute and go into the statute book. Non statutory can be regulations that are set by ministries but don't go onto the statute book. Guidance and policies can also be regarded as non-statutory, though their provisions may still be expected to be met by various controlling bodies and local and central government. Service users are usually the people who use a service like for example old people are the service users to the residential homes as well as children are the service users to nurseries. You might engage in a conversation in a residential home, a hospital, in a nursery, in a care home, etc. You are likely to be communicating with doctors,
Three different settings where children might play are in the local park, adventure play area and at the pre-school playground.
Sofia shafi Unit 4 assignment D1 - Three different settings where children might play are in the local park, adventure play area and at the pre-school playground. D2 - There are many different age ranges of children who might like to play in the settings that I have chosen. Most local parks have two areas, one for the younger children and an area for the older children. The younger area consists of children around the age of 3 - 7 years; those over 3 1/2 are at the co operative play stage. Co operative play is when children play together. The children start to talk about their play and decide what they will do. They can be heard saying such things such as "let's be monsters "and "let's play with the cars!" The second setting which I chose was the pre school playground the age range is 3 - 5 years. The children run and play about which gives them a chance to communicate and make friends. Children at this age are likely to be at associative play stage or co operative. Associative play is when children start to look at what other children are doing and can start copying them. Children at this stage can also watch older children play and stand at the edge of their games. An adventure play area has a typical age range of 4 - 7 years, they are able to explore and try a range of activities. Children at this age are most likely to be at the co operative play stage. By
E1 Describe three different types of setting which provide care and education for children in your area. E5 Explain the importance of valuing and respecting all children in the setting.
E1 Describe three different types of setting which provide care and education for children in your area. This must include one example from the list: statutory sector, voluntary sector and private sector. There are many different types of settings which provide care and education for children in my area. The statutory sector involves all the organisations that are set up, controlled and funded by the government or local authority for example: St. Anthony's Catholic Primary School. This type of sector is funded by people who pay tax or national insurance. ''A statutory service is one that is provided by government after a law (or statute) has been passed by parliament. Such law says that either: a service must be provided (i.e. there is a duty to provide it)... or a service can be provided (i.e. there is a power to provide it if an authority chooses)...'' (Thornes 2008 pg2) Another type of setting which provides care and education for children in my area is sure start children's centre. This is a voluntary sector and they are run by organizations. This type of sector is not designed to make a profit. ''Money for voluntary organisations comes from a variety of sources that include donations, fund-raising, grants from central or local government, lottery grants and fees for the services they provide.'' (Thornes 2008 pg4) The private

Also, that their sessions are

B. Describes the legislation and Organisational requirements in care settings such as Queensland that ensure good practice in dealing with confidentiality. Includes information about: Legislation: * Data Protection Act * Access to Personal Files Act * Access to Medical Records Act Organisational requirements: * Policies * Procedures * Recording * Storage * Security Data Protection Act: Data Protection Act is relevant to all health, social care and early years' settings such as nursing homes or child care homes as it is a law which is set by the parliament in the UK which explains how to handle and deal with private information of others. It explains that the private information should be kept private from people who do not have the authority to look at the information they are not suppose to look at such as personal details, this act is works very strongly in care settings and only data controllers can have the right to look at it. If an individual wants to look at their personal information they will have to seek permission first.
