Care Value Base
Care Value Base The Care Value Base was created by the Care Sector Consortium in 1992, it came from the NVQ's (National Vocational Qualification) to support a well-known set of principles and values for Care workers and professionals in Health and Social Care. The Care Value Base provides people rights and responsibilities, equality and diversity, and confidentiality. The Care Value Base was originally identified in codes of Care practice. A Care Value Base is an ethical policy code which tells how carers need to act in different situations; they are not allowed to discriminate against anyone, be mean, or to provide poor care for their patients. For the first time the Health and Social Care industry had a basic code from which they could make ethical decisions about specific situations. The Care Value Base is made out of five elements: * Anti Discriminatory Practice * Confidentiality * Individual Rights * Personal beliefs and identity * Effective Communication Anti Discriminatory Practice The Anti Discriminatory Practice stops people from being discriminated against or discriminating others which include: The sex discrimination Act 1975, Race Relations Act 1976 and Disabled Persons Act 1986, these Acts are present in all Health and Social Settings. e.g. In a hospital ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) ward, there is a service user who is an African and female. She also has
Assess the values on sociological research of value free sociology, value laden and committed sociology.
Assess the values on sociological research of value free sociology, value laden and committed sociology. Sociologists vary in their opinions on the effect of values on research. Value free sociology is an opinion in sociology, started by Emile Durkheim, that states that sociology should be seeking to use methodology similar to that used in the physical sciences. One of the key elements in their methodology to make it similar to the physical sciences is objectivity. These positivists state that their values have no effect on their research and that this should apply throughout sociology. They argue that if a study is well planned it is possible for the researchers personal beliefs to have no effect on the findings. They argue that the nature of sociological research is no different to that of any of the physical sciences, they are studying and measuring a set of totally independent phenomena and constructing and testing hypothesis as to the cause of this phenomenon. Positivists also refer to social facts. These are the statistics obtained from surveys and official publications. According to O'Connell Davidson and Layder the personal views of the researcher are never relevant in sociological research, and they point to the accuracy of opinion polls on a range of subjects to display the accuracy of their surveys. A second group of sociologists believe that weather objectivity

Chain of causation problem question. The given case is concerned with the law on homicide in English Criminal Law. Albert is likely to be accused of three different offences; the death of Bert amounting to involuntary manslaughter, the injuries suffered
Albert is a drug-dealer. One evening, selling heroin up a dark alley, he is first approached by Bert, with whom he has dealt several times in the past. Albert sells him the drug. Bert goes home, injects himself, and dies that same evening from an overdose. Next Albert is approached by Carol, whom he has never met before, but correctly supposes to be already heavily addicted. She is so desperate for the heroin that, at her request, he holds her arm steady while she injects herself there and then with the heroin he has supplied. Carol has a seizure and hits her head against a wall, resulting in severe bruising, but no lasting injury. Finally, Albert is approached by Diane, whom he knows well, and, at her suggestion they both go to her flat. There Diane injects herself with the heroin that Albert supplies. She passes out and Albert carries her to her bed, lying down beside her. When he awakes next morning Diane is looking very pale and is not conscious. Albert decides just to leave her there. Diane dies that afternoon from the heroin injection, never having recovered consciousness. The medical evidence is that her life would very likely have been saved had she received medical attention earlier in the day. Discuss the criminal liability of Albert, adding critical comment where you think the law is unsatisfactory. You need not consider offences under the Misuse of
What have been the major challenges to Piaget's theory of cognitive development? What aspects of the theory still have value?
Mrs Tracey Goode ID No: T6164966 TMA No 5: What have been the major challenges to Piaget's theory of cognitive development? What aspects of the theory still have value? Jean Piaget (1896 - 1980) was a constructivist theorist. He saw children as constructing their own world, playing an active part in their own development. Children are intrinsically motivated to interact with their environment and so learn about the world they live in. Piaget's insight opened up a new window into the inner working mind and as a result he carried out some remarkable studies on children that had a powerful influence on theories of child thought. This essay is going to explain the main features and principles of the Piagetian theory, how Piaget has influenced education and relate the Piagetian theory to two challenging perspectives, social constructivism and connectionist modelling. Piaget saw children as constructing their own world, playing an active part in their own development, which was the bulk of his work but also believed that social context was an important feature as well. Children are intrinsically motivated to interact with their environment and so learn about the world they live in. Piaget believed that children had the ability to adapt to their environment and saw intelligence as an evolutionary process. Piaget alleged children's thinking goes through changes at each of four
Organisational structure + job roles
Organisational structure + job roles Why organisations need some type of structure? All organisations need some type of structure to operate productively. Even a small firm will have specific job roles for the staff, so there may be a general manager, along with technical experts and others responsible for sales and accounts. An Organisational structure shows all the different job roles and it also shows who is responsible for who (chain of command). Organisational structure shows the span of control. Span of control means how many people a person is responsible for. It lets all employees know who their line manager is - businesses need to know this in order to operate efficiently. Organisational structures are usually shown on an Organisational chart. There are 3 main types of structure: . Flat structure This is an example of flat Organisational structure. A flat structure usually has 2 or 3 levels and the chain command is frequently short in a flat structure. The advantages of a flat structure are highlighted below: * Easy to make decision * Communication is easier * Owner or manager has greater control over the staff * Owner or manager will know what is happening on the shop floor * Staff tend to have more independence and job flexibility We usually see a flat structure in smaller organisations with few employees. 2. Hierarchical structure This is an example

Investigate the effect of altitude training on the density of blood.
An Investigation to find out the Effect of Altitude Training on the Density Mock Blood Rikin Patel Candidate Number- 1110 Centre Number- 63255 Aim The aim of this coursework was to investigate the effect of altitude training on the density of blood. Introduction Red blood cells, also known as Erythrocytes, are the most common type of blood cell and are a body's principal means of delivering oxygen to body tissues via the blood. The other type of blood cells in the blood are the white blood cells, which are actually immune cells. Red blood cells deliver oxygen via hemoglobin, a complex molecule containing four haem groups that temporarily link to oxygen molecules in the lungs and release the oxygen throughout the body. Hemoglobin also carries a waste product, carbon dioxide back from the tissues. Red blood cells consist of almost 90% hemoglobin; the heme is what gives blood its red colour. Myoglobin is similar to haemoglobin, but acts as a store for oxygen in muscle cells. Human red blood cells have a flattened ovate shape, depressed in the center. This shape is used because it optimizes for the exchange of oxygen with the surrounding cells. The cells are flexible so as to fit through tiny capillaries, where they release their oxygen. The diameter of a typical red blood cell is 6-8 µm. Below is a diagram of a red blood cell: Red blood cells are continuously being
Changes in Guilford's Central Business District from 1968 to 2002.
Changes in Guilford's Central Business District from 1968 to 2002 Aim The changes of many aspects of a CBD from the 1960s to the beginning of the 21st century had been immense, the changes nevertheless is an important feature of human geography that needs to be carefully studied. In order to achieve my aim I will have to identify the changes in land use from 1968-2002 in the CBD of Guildford and also compare the changes that had been made over the time. I will locate the areas with high and low pedestrian counts, and also the areas of high and low land value, both of which would give me a better overview of the CBD area. It will be equally important to identify zones of recent assimilation and discard to identify the changes. An investigation on the future changes of the CBD of Guildford would also be helpful to reach a higher degree of the understanding of the CBD and to explain the changes as our world today is advancing at an extraordinary pace in recent decays in many areas that already have, and definitely will cause great impacts on our lives. Guildford The understanding of Guildford's economical structure would help us to explain the changes of the CBD since structure of any CBD is largely affected by the local economy. Statistics has shown that the economy of Guildford is relatively good compared to other cities of similar size, Guildford has an area of 104 squared
