Demonstrate understanding of how to interact and communicate with adults in a childcare setting.
Demonstrate understanding of how to interact and communicate with adults. When approaching adults certain things need to be taken into consideration such as giving your full attention when an adult is speaking, eye contact, responding in the appropriate manner and in general showing respect to that adult. These all are needed to show you understand and to become aware of what is being said to you if it is an important issue. Also this improves communication skills when talking to adults as in the future these skills will be put to test and certain things will reply on them. There was many different staff that all had different roles amongst the nursery where I did my placement. Communication varied amongst different members of staff depending on what their role was. However the pressure eased a little as I soon found out there were other members of staff working there just like as they were college students who were doing NVQ's so therefore this gave me the ability to start speaking to them informally as I would with any other friend I would usually talk to. Thinking about a suitable subject to talk about didn't bother me as I could be myself amongst them. As the days went by I noticed that most members of staff were just a few years older than me and that I had no need to talk to them formally as they would speak to me informally like I was just another friend. However
I am going to develop an action plan for Sarah Macintosh. She is 22 and single. Sarah is slightly overweight
Action plan I am going to develop an action plan for Sarah Macintosh. She is 22 and single. Sarah is slightly overweight and despite her best efforts and 5 GCSEs cannot find a job she is happy with, she is slightly picky however. At the moment she is living with her single parent sister and her 2 children and their little dog but she is not happy with where she lives and would like to get a house of her own someday. This however is very hard because she is in huge debt and can barely afford food, often borrowing money from her sister. She can't stop buying unnecessary items of clothing from expensive designer labels. The debt and lack of independence and space has leaded her to deep depression. She understands that she is not healthy and rated her own health as 2/5 and admitted to not eating enough fruits or vegetables. She doesn't exercise but has shown some interest in trying new sports. She is a heavy smoker and has attempted to stop but still smokes a significant amount of cigarettes, wasting her money and making her ill. She has made it clear she has previously attempted to make improvements to her life (dieting, cutting down on cigarettes and eating five fruit and vegetables) but hasn't followed through and has given up or failed. To lead a happier and healthier life Sarah needs to start off by quitting smoking she should do this by first reducing the amount of
Communication is vital in both healthcare and social care.
Communication Communication is vital in both healthcare and social care. The patient and the healthcare professional need to understand each other clearly in order for the patient to receive the best care possible. Giving the correct care to a patient is next to impossible if their needs cannot be clearly stated. Good communication eliminates more possibility for mistakes and lets each party know what is expected of them or to them. Communication is not just as simple as talking, there are many ways in which we communicate and that is what will be addressed in this booklet. Forms of communication Non-verbal Verbal Body language Facial expressions Communication using technology Verbal communication Verbal communication is when we communicate our message, feelings, thoughts or ideas vocally to whoever is receiving the message. It is the spoken words in any different language. Good verbal communication is when you’re able to both explain and present your message clearly through spoken word and to listen carefully to the other person or people. Talking – Is when we use our mouths to speak to other people, a person, an animal or even to ourselves. Group discussion – Is when participants discuss vocally their thoughts and
Equality diversity and rights in health and social care
________________ M2,D1 Unit 2 Equality diversity and rights in health and social care M2 Assess the influence of a recent national policy initiative promoting anti discriminatory practice D1 Evaluate the success of a recent initiative in promoting anti-discriminatory practice In this criterion there will be an assessment on a recent national policy initiative and the way it promotes anti- discriminatory practice in health and social care. Individual’s rights within a health and social care setting include having access to services and medication. Services should not unlawfully discriminate service users due to their race, gender, disability, religion, belief, or sexuality. Another right of an individual within health and social care is being treated with respect and dignity. No matter what the persons circumstances are when using health or social care services they should always be treated fairly and with respect defiantly if they are in a vulnerable state. Communication is also another right of an individual. Every health and social care setting should have trained professionals who know how to convey effective communication to avoid assumptions and discrimination. As the patients or service users should feel comfortable talking to the staff and know
