CACHE 3 Childcare learning and development unit1
E1 The rights and welfare of a child are central to any practice, and it is necessary to realise that every child is an individual with needs and rights which need to be taken in to consideration when providing care for them. The Children?s Act 1989 states "the child?s welfare is paramount" This means that the setting must focus on the childs rights and the physical and emotional health of the child. They must observe and listen to the child and response to their needs and requests. The childs basic needs to food, warmth and play must be met. The United Nations Convention on Rights of the Child Sets out the childs rights to ,provision eg food and water, participation- to be heard, and protection from abuse. On a practical level in setting meeting these should be by ensuring that the child is in a safe and healthy environment with enough to eat and drink. The child should have the chance to play learn, and is helped to form caring and supportive relationships with the other children and the practitioners. The main aims of a setting in meeting these needs should be set out in a procedure and should be know by all staff, it may be similar to the following............. To meet all children's needs by providing high quality childcare within a warm, friendly, secure and stimulating atmosphere. All children and families will be treated equally regardless of race, gender,
Explain the probable homeostatic responses to changes in the internal environment following the consumption of a healthy meal
M2 Explain the probable homeostatic responses to changes in the internal environment following the consumption of a healthy meal. Homeostasis: Homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment . The maintenance of homeostasis can occur through the nervous system or through chemical stimulation and changes are achieved and controlled by the homeostasis regulation mechanisms which include sensors, signal transmissions, control centres and also effectors. The above allow the body to adapt to its own environment and therefore allows it to function normally. The reason that we need the internal environment within the body to stay constant is because the enzymes within our body can only work effectively within a certain ph and temperature, if these conditions are not maintained the enzymes will not be able to work and therefore the chemical proteins within the enzymes will not be able to speed up reactions within the body and the enzymes will become denatured, if this occurs this occurs the consequences could be fatal for the individual. Homeostatic mechanisms work by negative feedback as they detect any changes in the boys internal environment and bring about an effect that will reverse the change. Although after eating a meal certain changes occur within the body they are: After eating a healthy balanced meal the glucose levels within the blood will
Understand why effective communication is important in the work setting. Identify the different reasons people communicate
SHC 31 . Understand why effective communication is important in the work setting .1 Identify the different reasons people communicate Before examining the different reasons people communicate, we must start by determining a view to what communication is. Communication can be defined as information transfer. This can be the exchange of thoughts, messages, feelings or the like. The way we transfer information is by speech, signals or writing, to express oneself in such a way that one is readily and clearly understood. 'We all use a variety of communication techniques to both understand and be understood.' Methods of Communication (body language, speaking, writing or visual aids): One Way - ? Memo, fax, e-mail, voice mail, letter. Two Way * Phone call, in-person. Collaborative ? Team meetings, consulting, consensus, decision making, group problem solving. Sharing ideas through communication has meant that each generation of humans has been able to refine and improve the previous generations work. Communication plays a vital part in our survival, for example a baby screams (which is a form of communication) when it is hungry. Our survival and success as humans has been dependant on our ability to communicate. People communicate for different reasons, which are as follows: * To teach: We communicate is to impart knowledge and to teach. This way of communication
Evaluate the nature-nurture debate in relation to the development of an individual
BND Health and Social Care Unit 4- Development through the life stages D1- Evaluate the nature-nurture debate in relation to the development of an individual Is a person's development mainly influenced by their biological inheritance? Or could the majority of the influence be found in the person's environment? Questions similar to these are possibly one of the oldest theories debated, mainly in psychology (Bee, 2004). This is known as the nature versus nurture debate. Nowadays it has been accepted many that most parts of a person's development are shaped by the interaction of both nature and nurture. This can be said because both sides of the nature/nurture argument provide strong evidence on how each fact influences development. Each side also takes into account very important details and good explanations for reasons in which nurture or nature control how we develop. (A.Bell, 2002). A nature account of development, which is also known as heredity, focuses on what someone is born with or traits which have been passed down from parents through your genes. Some examples of nature (or heredity) could be eye colour, height and behaviour. It is believed to determine an individual's personality, appearance and other traits because of the fact that it is all genetically down. ( M.Eysenick, 2004) The effect of nature in relation to an individual's development can be shown in the

There are five pass criteria's to this assessment, which consists of two passes, one merit and two distinctions. The assessment focuses on how communication skills are used and their effectiveness. Task 1 (D2) Analyse how communication in health and social care settings assists patient/service users and other key people. The following observations were done in a 70-bed residential care/nursing home with a separate EMI unit, which caters for the mentally ill. There are two floors, each one a mirror image of the other. On each floor there are 35 bedrooms, 20 in the main part and 15 in the EMI unit. There is a resident's lounge on each floor that has a conservatory on the end where the residents who smoke can sit. In each lounge there is a central fireplace, a television at one end and a display cabinet at the other end, which has a music system on it. There are approximately 20 reclining chairs
Describe and Discuss Two Alternative Psychological Approaches To Abnormal Behaviour
Anne Bingham Health and Welfare (Abnormal Behaviour) DESCRIBE AND DISCUSS TWO ALTERNATIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO ABNORMAL BEHAVIOUR The word psychology is derived from two Greek words, psyche which means mind, soul or spirit and logos which means study. When the two are put together it means 'study of the mind', hence the word psychology. Different psychologists take different approaches towards abnormal behaviour. The main four approaches are: psychodynamic, behaviourist, cognitive, humanist. None of these approaches are either wrong or right, they are merely just different ways of dealing with different people's problems. We will concentrate on two of these approaches: cognitive and psychodynamic and look at the therapies involved in treating patients with various psychological abnormalities, and the therapists who helped develop the approaches. The cognitive approach concentrates on changing the way a person thinks about themselves or their environment and other people. Cognitions are a combination of faulty thoughts and the incapability to make good decisions, which lead to depression and anxiety. By changing the way people think and see things, alters their whole perspective on life and therefore makes them better. Optimistic people are less likely to become depressed as they look on the bright side and envisage everything around them as being good or there
Health And Social Care Coursework
Group Interaction Work Context My Group interaction consisted of me being put in place of someone in the medical profession talking to a group of people about recent treatments/illnesses. I chose to speak to a group of children in their playroom in a nursery. My interaction took place in a playroom which held many different barriers for me to think about and plan before my interaction took place. I laid the furniture that was available to avoid as many barriers as I could. Also having a range of ages in my group would need to be considered because some would have longer attention spans than others. I laid out the playroom as shown in the diagram below. I wanted to set out so I catered for all ages ranging from 3-7. I only wanted to keep the children there for 5 minutes because of their differing attention spans. As my diagram indicates I set out the playroom very carefully. I laid it out in this way for many of the same reasons as for my one to one. Refer back to my one to one for those reasons. In addition I asked the children where they would like to sit, at the table or on the pillows. They said they wanted to sit at the pillows. This is an example of empowerment because the children can control their own situations and control what choices they make. I also chose to sit on a pillow as well rather than a chair so I was at their level. If I was in a chair it would show a
Improving access to sexual health services
Improving access to sexual health services Our sexual health service visitor Sarah follows a national government initiative of ‘improving access to sexual health services for young people in further education settings’. This is to give young people who are in further education e.g. college the access to services and to provide them with a better knowledge of sexual health. Some of the key points of this initiative are that sexual health services should be provided for young people in a more accessible format, colleges should be proactive in this provision of services and Young people are a key target group for health services, particularly in relation to sexual health. Introducing and improving on health advice services in further education has a positive impact as it helps young people to avoid STI’s and unplanned pregnancies. The outcomes of this initiative are that it provides information, advice and services that can help them at any time. Providing access to sexual health services has been proven to be a good preventative and cost effective way. Young people are the group that are least likely to be able to access contraception and sexual health services for many reasons, some may be that adult services are intimidating and it makes it difficult for young people to access. Providing young people with a service that is in a familiar environment that also fits well
