Placement diary - teenage group at a wildlife centre
My placement is at a Wildlife Centre in the beautiful park surrounded by flowers and trees. It is a pleasant and peaceful place. Our group consists 5 of ten 14 years old secondary school students. After the first week two girls left and in the fourth week two new boys joined the group. The group also consisted of the teaching assistant, four volunteers and two community project officers. We are gaining practical experience of countryside work and wildlife conservation. This includes activities such as identification, surveying and monitoring of wildlife; habitat management such as coppicing, scrub clearance, hedgerow planting; wildlife gardening; safe use and maintenance of hand tools and basic green wood working. Nearly all our sessions are outdoors, therefore we have to come prepared with appropriate outdoor clothing. As well as the students gaining practical experience they are also learning how to work in teams, problem solving, learning how to take instructions, confidence building through hands-on learning. The woodland environment may be used to learn about more abstract concepts such as mathematics and communication. This diary is based on time spent one day a week over a five week period. Diary entry one was my first day but was the children second day together. 06.03.2014 Jack’ gave us an outline of the placement and people with whom we are going to

Disclosure- Disclosure means when somebody tells you information about their personal life. Normally when someone discloses information to someone else it is normally about abuse that is happening to themselves or someone else. If someone has decided to disclose information to you it can be exposed in various ways for example the most common way to disclose information is given by the actual victim to their care providers because of the trust bond they have together. Another way a person may choose to disclose information is because they have witnessed someone else getting abused.

The kidney is used by the renal system to control and maintain the balance of electrolytes which is maintained by monitoring the amount of fluid produced. The renal system involves two kidneys connected to two ureters tubes leading to the bladder which urine is then released through the urethra and it’s controlled by the sphincter muscle which is located blow the bladder. The nervous system contains two main parts, the central nervous system is composed of the brain and spinal cord and the peripheral nervous system is the nerves connected to the rest of the body which both systems work as one to gather information from inside the body and the outside from the environment.

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.

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
