Unit 2 - Equality diversity and rights Distinction one
Lissa Williams Bryan Unit 2- Equality, diversity and rights Distinction One – Evaluate the success of a recent initiative in promoting anti-discriminatory practice. Positive promotion of individuals This can be seen in all areas of health and social care by looking at noticeboards, in the hallways, reception areas or staff rooms. Charters, for example, should be displayed for people to read, if they wish, in waiting rooms, canteens or other areas that they pass through. Policies and procedures should also be available for health and social care professionals to read if they are unsure about anything, or they should at least be informed of where the policies and procedures can be found. http://media-cache-ec1.pinimg.com/avatars/postivepromos-1360787020_600.jpg It Is important that people’s choices and preferences are maintained, so that they can have as much independence as possible, this will allow their self-esteem levels to be high, they’ll feel more respected and valued which ultimately has a positive effect on the individual, without staff promoting positive of individuals, this goes against the whole care value base in health and social care, which to be an effective care worker you need to internalise these values and demonstrate them with service users, honesty and respect is the main bases in health and social care especially.

BBC Panorama Ash Court Care Home Abuse: Maria's carers 'treated her like she didn't exist', says her daughter ‘I used a spy camera to catch a care home thug beating up my mother’ Jane Worroll decided to investigate, why her elderly mother Maria was having trouble sleeping while at a residents at the Ash Court Care home in Kentish Town, North London. Filipino workers abused and discriminated 78 year old Maria Worroll that had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and needed full time nursing care. Maria Worroll had been at Ash court a 62 bedroom private care home in Kentish town for almost a year. She was physically abused by workers at the ash court, where all her rights and dignity was taken off her; every action made against her went against her rights. Maria suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, which is the most common cause of dementia. With the help of her daughter Jane, using a camera to record all that went on, Maria’s misery was put to an end, and she was removed immediately from the care home, with further actions for the staff workers. Potential Negative Effects Loss of self-esteem/self-worth Low self-esteem can result from various factors,
Health And Safety In The Health And Social Care Workplace
UNIT 3 Lo1 .1 HEALTH AND SAFETY IN THE HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE WORKPLACE The legislative requirements in respect to the health and safety procedures to be implemented in the work environment are wide ranging and therefore must be communicated effectively. This is particularly important in the context of health and social care The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is an independent organisation which regulates health and safety in the workplace. The organisation also promotes initiatives to improve health and safety regulations and procedures for the benefit of all services users, including employees and patients in the health and social care context. In addition to this the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HASAW) requires employers to keep a written record of the health and safety policy and have consultations with their employees in respect of the policies in place. However the aforementioned requirements only apply to employers with five or more employees. This ensures that employees are able to refer to a written set of rules in respect of health and safety and may be the primary reference and method of communicating the comprehensive guidance in respect of health and safety. In addition to the above, the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require employers to provide their staff with information and training in respect of health and safety at
Unit 7 P2 AND M1 explain different sociological approaches to health and ill health and assess the biomedical and socio-medical models of health
Ruth Green Unit 7, P2 & M1 Tutor-Delroy Mackenzie ________________ P2 There are different approaches to health and ill health in sociology, and these include Functionalism, Marxism, Feminism and Interactionism. The World Health Organisation (WHO) in 1974 defines positive health as a state of complete physical mental, social, spiritual and well-being not merely the absence of disease. The holistic approach is based on addressing the individual’s physical, social, emotional and spiritual health needs. The functionalist approach to health and ill health In the functionalist model, Parsons argued that illness is a form of deviance that disturbs the social function of a society; within the functionalist approach to health it studies the relationship between a sick individual and the society as a whole. Parsons stated that for the society to function efficiently the members of the society must be free from illness and must be of well health. Functionalists argued that stability and cooperation are very crucial for a society to function efficiently; functionalists explain that through the process of socialisation we learn our society’s general norms, values and social roles. An example of this is, saying “thank you or please” these are some of the values that are treasured within societies, and an example of a social role would be a grandmother fulfilling the role as
Unit 10 Dealing With Child Abuse - p3 and p4 and p5
Unit 10 Caring for children and young people P3- Explain the factors that would lead to suspicion of maltreatment or abuse. P4- Explain appropriate responses when child maltreatment or abuse is suspected. P5- Explain the strategies and methods that can be used to support children, young people and their families where abuse is suspected or confirmed. M3- Assess strategies and methods used to minimise the harm to children, young people and their families where abuse is confirmed. D2- Justify responses where child maltreatment or abuse is suspected or confirmed referring to current legislations and policies In this assignment I am a support assistant in a reception class and I will be explaining factors that would lead to maltreatment or abuse and appropriate responses when maltreatment or abuse is suspected which I will then explain strategies and methods in which will help or stop further harm or abuse to a child and young person and their families. There are different types of abuse children or young people may go through as they are vulnerable and easy to target. These are the types of abuse that can likely occur; physical, emotional, sexual, intellectual, neglect and bullying. As a support worker if a child is going through physical abuse, they will show signs of bruises, cuts, marks, etc. and this may also cause change in the child’s behaviour. This will lead

Health and Social Care-A2- Unit 2-Practitioner roles - comparing a teacher and a nurse.
A2 Unit 6 Practitioner Roles Main duties and activities of an Adult Nurse: Adult nurses are responsible for working with both old and young adults with diverse health conditions which may be acute, chronic, physical or mental (1). Nurses are the only practitioners that care for patients for 24 hours whilst all the other practitioners such as doctors only see patients for a short amount of time before handing them over to a nurse (5). Adult nurses have many duties as their aim is to try and improve people’s quality of life even if the situations seem difficult (1). Adult nurses face different situations everyday hence why being a nurse can be challenging but also rewarding. A nurse’s day is usually very busy and packed as they are not only looking after one patient but may look after a number of patients at the same time. A nurse’s day consists of; writing patient’s care plans, providing nursing care to patients in hospitals, at home, nursing homes or in other settings. Nurses implement plans and follow up tasks. Some of the day to day duties of adult nurses are preparing patients for operations, cleaning and dressing wounds, monitoring patients’ temperature, pulse and blood pressure (1). Nurses have to observe and record the conditions of their patients and respond quickly to emergencies through reporting any abnormalities to the GP; they check and administer
Factors affecting health and the role of two health professionals.
F912 Health Promotion A01 In this section I will be looking at health and well-being and how different factors affect health. A - What is health and well-being? Health: The old definition of health from the World Health Organisation (WHO) was that it was a ‘state of physical, mental and social well-being and not just necessarily the absence of illness’. However they got criticised for this definition so have updated the definition to “The extent to which an individual or group is able, on the one hand, to realise aspirations and satisfy needs, and on the other hand to change or cope with the environment. Health is therefore seen as a resource of everyday life, not the objective of living it is a positive concept emphasising social and personal resources as well as physical capabilities” I think that this definition is a bit too over complicated however it does include the key elements that I believe to be health. (Fisher, A. et al. 2012. Applied AS Health and Social Care 2nd edition. Oxford: Oxford university press) Well-being: Wellbeing is often simply defined as feeling good and functioning well. This includes having a fair share of material resources, influence and control, a sense of meaning, belonging and connection with people and place and the capability to manage problems and change. There are different perspectives on health and well-being that can
P4 - Explain theories of ageing
P4 - Explain theories of ageing Social Disengagement Theory - In 1961, Elaine Cumming and William Henry came up with the Social Disengagement theory. This theory suggests that when people reach a certain age they begin to disengage with society and withdraw themselves from social activities. It can also be seen as society's fault rather than the individual as society are more likely exclude older people and therefore older people are less likely to involve themselves in society. Cumming and William suggest that older people disengaging from society is a result of them realising that they cannot do the social activities that they did when they were younger, as they are more fragile and they may not have the energy to do them. Older people can disengage from society for a number of different reasons for example; many young people have social media sites and can therefore catch up with friends and family especially if they don’t have enough time to go around their houses. However older people may not know how to use technology such as the internet, mobile phones etc and consequently may not be able to see their family members or their friends as much as they would like to. " Policy Exchange says around 40% of people aged 65 or over in the UK do not have access to the internet at home, while more than five million people have never used the internet."
AO1- The three definitions of health, holistic, positive and negative
AO1: For this part of the unit I am going to be exploring the different and varied definitions of health. I will also give a short report of my completion of the questionnaire I took on what health meant to me as an individual and then give a comprehensive description on the 3 different concepts of health, holistic, positive and negative. Definitions of Health: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” (WHO 1948) “The extent to which an individual or a group is able to realise aspirations and satisfy needs, and to change or cope with the environment. Health is a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living; it is a positive concept emphasising social and personal resources as well as physical capabilities” (WHO 1984) From completing the questionnaire I can understand how the definition of health may vary from person to person depending on their circumstances, such as being on benefits, being disabled and older people. If someone is on benefits their definition of health may vary as they may not be able to afford certain healthy foods in healthy quantities, they may also be suffering physiologically as there emotional wellbeing may be poor due to the absence of purpose that may have previously be found in a job. Another example of when a person’s definition of health could
