Health and Social Care Communication. Examples from work with a service user with memory problems, and with new users of a playgroup.
LO4 – Be able to communicate and interact effectively in a health and social care environment OCR Nationals Cambridgeshire Level 3 Unit 1 Certificate/Diploma Health and Social Care Developing effective communication in health and social care The service user that I plan to have a one-to-one interaction will in Majella. I am going to be a care worker working at a local day centre. Majella attends this particular day centre three times a week; I am planning on having a one-to-one interaction with this service user for reminiscence therapy. Majella has very little memory and therefore this type of therapy would be the most appropriate in order for her to try and reconstruct her memory of the past. This, in return should help Majella to communicate more effectively with not only care workers, but also her family and other service users she may wish to communicate socially with. The fact that Majella has very little memory means this type of therapy would be most appropriate for her. It can be very useful and helpful. Reminiscence will provide a way for Majella to interact socially and conversationally based on her long term memory. This means her long term memory is acting as a facilitator. Reminiscence groups can be done easily and each topic is easy to plan and put into practise. I can get videos of old fields and old loved film stars may revive memories for Majella,
The Business Environment Coursework. Describe the type of business, purpose and ownership of 2 contrasting types of businesses.
Task 1 Describe the type of business, purpose and ownership of 2 contrasting types of businesses. Sole Trader • A sole trader is a business owned by 1 person. It does not have limited liability meaning that if it fails and creates debts the owner is personally responsible for this. • Sole trader's usually have to work long hours and learn about all the aspects of business as many start up businesses cannot afford to hire people to take on other tasks. • The owner is responsible for everything that goes on in the business and has to do a lot of work. The owner also receives all the profit and is able to make decisions on their own. • The owner has full control over the business. • Hair dressers, small independent shops and book keepers are usually sole traders. Partnership • A partnership is a lot like a sole trader only there are more than 1 owner. • This usually means the work and responsibility is shared and so are the profits. • Good examples of partnerships are dentists, accountants and lawyers. • There is usually more money and ideas that can be put into the business. • There may be disagreements between partners and this can affect the way they run their business. • Depending on what contracts were drawn up, one of the owners may decide to leave and leave debts to the other owner or owners. Each partner has to take the risk of

RICHARD II KEY LITERARY ELEMENTS SETTING Richard II is located in various parts of England and Wales.
RICHARD II KEY LITERARY ELEMENTS SETTING Richard II is located in various parts of England and Wales. The tournament scene (Act I, Scene 2) is at Coventry, in the Midlands. Bolingbroke, although coming from Brittany, in France, lands on the north coast of England and undertakes the tediously long march southwest through the Cotswolds to Berkeley and on to Bristol. Richard returns from Ireland and lands at Barkloughly. He moves in a northwesterly direction towards Flint Castle, where he encounters Bolingbroke. The climactic scene takes place in Parliament in London. Then Richard is sent to the prison of Pomfret Castle, which is in Yorkshire. CHARACTERS Major Characters King Richard - Richard, the play's protagonist, is a poetic and intensely charming man, but a fatally weak monarch. His unshakable faith in his own quasi-divinity constitutes his tragic flaw, as does his bad judgment. He enjoys the role of performer, and after he is deposed, he casts himself as a martyr. Henry Bolingbroke - Bolingbroke is the Duke of Hereford and the son of John of Gaunt. After the latter's death, he becomes the Duke of Lancaster. Bolingbroke is a practical and ambitious man who replaces Richard on the throne. At the beginning of the play, Bolingbroke believes in the divinity of kings and in the need to obey them, regardless of their cruelty. He

Why did tension increase in Europe between 1900 and 1914?
CONFLICT IN THE MODERN WORLD: INTERNATIONAL HISTORY 1900-1939 Why did tension increase in Europe between 1900 and 1914? Germany * Germany was the leading industrial and military power on the continent. In 1871 it had taken Alsace-Lorraine from France after the Franco-Prussian War. * Since 1887 the ruler of Germany had been Kaiser Wilhelm II. He had begun to pursue adventurous policies after the resignation of his chancellor Bismarck in 1890. * In 1898 and 1900 the German Navy Laws were passed. This threatened Britain's control of the seas. The two laws laid out plans for the construction of a large navy designed to rival Britain's by 1917. This was an example of the Kaiser's determination to make Germany a world power. Britain * In Britain the Laws were viewed with alarm since there was no apparent reason why Germany needed a navy, except to attack Britain. Britain depended on control of the seas in order to protect her vast empire. * The British government replied by beginning a programme of warship construction intended to maintain the 'two-power standard', which had been the basis of naval policy in the late nineteenth century. It simply stated that the British navy should be as big as the next two largest navies in the world. * The Kaiser also encouraged the creation of a German Empire. This also challenged Britain's dominant position. However, by 1914 there were
