An overview of my DP1 placement which will highlight the location of my placement, the opportunities for learning and a brief outline of the work undertaken by staff and myself.
INTERIM REPORT Within the Final report, I will give an overview of my DP1 placement which will highlight the location of my placement, the opportunities for learning and a brief outline of the work undertaken by staff and myself. I will also draw on knowledge learned from academic study such as Social Work Practice 1, Poverty, Family and Lifespan and Disadvantage also personal experience and feedback from supervision. As a student, I am required to evidence from my practice and the progress towards meeting both the competence's and value requirements to the level outlined in the course manual. Hugman and Smith state,'' Competence in social work requires the understanding and the interaction of values in social work. This set of values can essentially be expressed as a commitment to social justice and social welfare, to enhance the quality of life of individuals, families and groups within communities, and to a repudiation of all forms of negative discrimination''. (2001,p95) I will discuss how supervision has been influential on my personal development and how it has enabled me to critically evaluate and promote my working practice by addressing core skills and values. Anti-racist and anti-discriminatory practices are issues that are an integral part of social work practice and therefore I shall discuss these issues within the report. Also within the report, I will maintain
Exploring the Effects of Copper Sulphate as an Inhibitor on the Enzyme Amylase
An Investigation Exploring the Effects of Copper Sulphate as an Inhibitor on the Enzyme Amylase Hypothesis The rate of the breakdown of starch to maltose should decrease as the concentration of the inhibitor- copper sulphate, increases. Biological Background Enzymes are known as biological catalysts that are used to speed up reactions; they work like all other catalysts by lowering the activation energy required for the experiment to work. They themselves remain physically unchanged unless denatured and thereby can be used again. Amylase is an quaternary structure enzyme that works on Starch breaking it down into its constituent disaccharide- Maltose which is further broken down by maltase into glucose. Amylase is commonly found within digestive organs in most animals except dogs, cats and horses, in fruit synthesis creating a sweeter fruit and it is also found in humans (in our saliva called Ptyalin and in our pancreas). It is needed by our bodies as Starch is too big to be absorbed through the semi-permeable membranes so the breakdown to maltose makes it more manageable. Our pancreas has the highest proportion of amylase compared to anywhere else in our body, it is where the breakdown of the starch is completed having been started by our mouths and our saliva. The form of amylase in the pancreas is called Amylopsin. The actual process by which amylase works is by
Investigate how an organisation has had to comply with current legislation on access to leisure. How is this process managed and implemented?
BMS 217 Exploring Leisure Markets Christopher Murphy 0134225 Investigate how an organisation has had to comply with current legislation on access to leisure. How is this process managed and implemented? People seek leisure for a variety of reasons. From friendship and companionship to competition and social release leisure offers a wide range of purposes and feelings. However, access to the leisure market is dependent on social, cultural, practical, financial, and personal barriers. Leisure is a key area in paving the way towards full community inclusion and participation. Despite this there are a number of significant factors restricting people's participation in leisure. Access to leisure is controlled by a number of factors. These factors include social stratification, gender inequality, racial discrimination, disability issues, sexuality and age-ism to name but a few. There have been a number of legislations introduced to make leisure available to all despite the ability, income and class of those seeking it. It is pivotal that the laws relating to equality are followed when considering access to leisure. The laws relating to equality are the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, The Race Relations Act 1976, the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000, and the Sex Discrimination Act 1975. Each act is united in its search for equality, not just in the access to leisure, but
Labour Education Crisis.
Laura Heath-Jones English coursework Newspaper article-Second Draft Labour Education Crisis The man who promised us, 'Education, education, education,' as the main priority of his government has failed again. Blair along with forever changing line up of education secretaries has again been branded a hazard to our children. The new crisis in hand for our Labour government evolves our youngsters within Primary education. The recent report has revealed that the number of children who can read and write properly has fallen in the last three years, as almost 250,000 seven year olds are not hitting required standards, for the second year running. In English only 75% have reached the required standards, leaving government hopes of 85% English pass rate for 11 year olds by 2002 in tatters. The report has shown three tenths of Primary school children are behind in reading from as young as seven. Four tenths our poor at writing, leading to one quarter of eleven year olds being classed as semi-literate! Chief school inspector Mr David bell has described the situation as disastrous and has said, 'I don't think we could possibly be happy with what primary schools are achieving.' These chilling figures reported by Ofsted are causing concern amongst parents throughout the country. Although Mr Bell is claiming the route of this problem is due to the teachers and Heads of the schools.
My aim is to produce a CD cover and poster to promote it, for an age group of 15-20 year olds.
PROJECT 1A-COMMUNICATIONS My aim is to produce a CD cover and poster to promote it, for an age group of 15-20 year olds. The main purpose is to design it for a certain group of people that are into to a particular genre of music and for my CD it will be rhythm and blues, which is also commonly known as r'n'b. The CD will be a compilation of various r'n'b artists and will include a range of different songs from these artists. To find out what songs and artists are popular I will survey a group of 15-20 year olds using a questionnaire this then will be my basic research. When I have found out the relevant information I can them see which songs and artists were more popular. The final result will be a CD cover; which will also contain an 8 page booklet for the inside. The 8-page booklet will contain images and text on artists. Promoting the CD will include producing the posters for advertisement. The posters will be shop window displays and for the streets. The posters have to be eye catching but very simple and have to be noticeable. If people were to drive past in their cars they should be able to see it and read it, so only a small amount of text will be included. My information will come from three main sources, which are: the Internet, books and magazines. I will use 2 search engines to get the information off the Internet and I will scan the various images from books

This report was written in response from interested members of the community to the local council. Graffiti are described as ugly, anti-social daubs (See Appendix A) which give an expression of urban decay and criminal intent. Not only does it cause much unnecessary trouble to those around the area, but also cost the government 'significant financial outlays' in graffiti prevention and removal schemes. Therefore, this issue needs to be addressed urgently. Figure1 Figure2 .1 Research Methods Many different research methods were used to produce this report. These involve observations, physical investigation and taking photos around the Fruitgrove train station, survey feedback, books, Internet research, newspaper articles and local government documents. It is important to note
An investigation into what affects the height of the bounce of a squash ball
An investigation into what affects the height of the bounce of a squash ball I have been asked to investigate the variables, which could affect the behaviour of a squash ball when it is dropped. The variables that could have an effect are the temperature of the ball (or the pressure), the height that the ball is dropped at and the surface the ball lands on. The temperature of the ball could affect the height the ball bounces at because when the heat of the ball increases it means there is a higher pressure inside the ball because the particles have more energy and are moving faster. This means the particles will be pushing the sides of the ball outwards so the ball does not compress as much. Because of this less energy will be lost in compressing the ball so there is more kinetic energy for the ball to bounce higher. The surface the ball lands on could affect the height the ball bounces at because on softer surfaces such as foam lots of energy is lost in making the foam move inwards so the ball does not have as much kinetic energy to bounce higher. With a harder surface the ball would not make such an indent so less energy would be wasted on this and more would be left over to make the ball bounce higher. I will be investigating what happens to the height of the bounce when the ball is dropped from different heights. I predict that the ball will bounce higher when
Lady Macbeth essay.
Lady Macbeth essay. A) In act 1 scene, we see lady MacBeth reading a letter that her husband, MacBeth has sent her, it has been written as a soliloquy, she reads aloud to the audience how he has been given information about his future by a group of witches. MacBeth sent this letter to his wife quickly, he is was obviously pleased with the news and wanted her to know about it. This gives the audience the impression that Lady MacBeth was very dominant in their relationship, and by telling her about the prophecy she would know what to do. Lady MacBeth already knows that MacBeth is the Thane of Cawdor and according to the witches prophecy he will soon be King. But she says, "Yet do I fear thy nature. It is too full o' milk of kindness To catch the nearest way." Lady MacBeth is worried that her husband is to weak to do what has to be done. Already we see that Lady MacBeth has formed a plan. Lady MacBeth thinks that MacBeth will be King, and at this point in the play we start to see the evil side of her begin to come out. She decides that he is too kind and must be changed, "That I may pour my spirits in thine ear, and chastise with the valour of my tongue" she means she will persuade him to do what she wants. In her plan MacBeth must be ruthless, "the illness should attend" (a touch of evil) .She knows MacBeth would rather do it the right way rather than cheat to get what he
Find out how the thickness and length of an electrical conductor affect its resistance.
Introduction Electricity is something we have all around us every day but we never really think about it, even though it is such an important part of ours life's. What is electricity? Before investigating the resistance of different metals it is important to understand the principal of electricity. Electricity is formed by the movement or flow of electrons being attracted away from their atoms by an applied force. This is easier to do with the some elements than with others. All atoms are made up of a central nucleus containing a number of positively charged protons and some have neutral charged neutrons this overhaul positive charge of the nucleus is counter balanced with negatively charged electrons that orbit the nucleus in layers or shells, this gives the atom an overhaul neutral charge. In some materials the electrons in the outer shell are only just hanging on by a very weak bond and can move around at random between atoms of the same material these are called free electrons. If a positive charge is applied to the material the free electrons will be attracted towards it pulling them away from their atoms these atoms it turn will become positively charged and will attract free electrons away from other atoms, this will create a flow of electrons, this flow is called current. Some types of structures are called non-conductive (some plastics and ceramics), and some
How does Shelagh Delaney establish the relationship of the main characters for the audience in Act 1 Scene 1 of ‘A Taste of Honey’?
David O'Neill 10.2 Taste of honey Essay How does Shelagh Delaney establish the relationship of the main characters for the audience in Act 1 Scene 1 of 'A Taste of Honey'? The first scene is probably the most important scene of all, as it tells us about the nature of the characters and their attitudes. The first words of the play that are stage directions play a big part. The quote " the stage represents a comfortless flat . . . . . the street outside. Jazz music" this tell us about the time in which they lived which was post war Britain from the jazz music. Jazz music is associated with the blues that was music about being down on your luck which was popular at these times. Mentioning that they lived in Manchester also gave a feeling of their surroundings. In Manchester at this time of the play there would have been few people of other ethnic origins as opposed to 1 in 20 British citizens being African, Asian or Caribbean origin in the 1990s. Also in that day and age it was only a tiny minority of the population on which were single parents. This would be the most important scene because it gave us an idea of what Helen and Jo are like. It tells us what there attitudes are and what sort of relationship they have. Helen reacts differently to Helen at the first impressions of the flat. While Helen is making the flat sounding a lot better than it actually is to make her feel
