Communication in health and social care settings is used daily, for example teachers communicate with pupils, parents and work collies, In this health and social care environment it is important that commination is clear from both the teacher and parent in order to hold a fluent conversation that maintains eye contact, teachers will need to communicate with parents to discuss their child/children’s school work or issues that may need to be addressed in more detail. For example family problems that may affect the quality of a child’s school work, if communication is not effective it may cause confusion and problems could accrue if the message is not summarised. There are two different ways of communicating which are verbal and non-verbal; Verbal communication involves talking to present ideas, thoughts and feelings, good verbal communication is the ability to both explain and present your ideas clearly through the spoken word.

Many Americans have made fast food a must in their daily lives. On average, one in four Americans visit a fast food restaurant every day. Along with that, cars, convenience, and poor exercise has helped contribute to what the World Health Organization is now calling an epidemic. It is said that the first fast food chain to have started it all was white castle. White Castle was founded in 1921 and played an important role in the development of fast food. During the time it was founded, many people thought hamburgers came from spoiled meat and slaughterhouse scraps. White Castle helped change the public opinion and gave hamburger meat a better reputation nationwide. McDonalds was also a notable key contributor in popularizing the hamburger to the
Principles of effective communication and potential barriers
Principles of effective communication Communication is the way someone can share their information. It is a vital part of life because communication is the only way we can express ourselves and pass on our discoveries and the information that we have onto someone else. Communication needs a sender and a receiver of the information. Communication also needs feedback, all these parts are essential if you want to give effective communication. For effective communication to happen, the message has to be clear. When communicating there should be no uncertainty in the message or else you will be giving unaffected communication because it will seem you do not know what you are talking about and the receiver will doubt you. You also have to make sure that the message is told in a way so the person you are talking to will understand it easily. If you want to send out effective communication, you also have to ask yourself why you are telling this message, and what do you want the receiver to take away. If you do not know what the objective of the message is, there will be no hopes of the communication process being a success. That is why it should always be clear what the objectives of communication are. You also need to get feedback from the audience so you know if the message has been passed on successfully. Feedback can also help you to improve your communication skills if you need
Analysis of Health and Safety risks in a nursey setting.
DISCUSSION FOOD: I ticked this as a medium risk because as I was observing a staff I noticed that after changing a nappy, she failed to wash her hands afterwards, she later on moved to on to feeding a child ,while the child spilled food all over her mouth she used her hands to wipe it off, this was really unhygienic seeing as she could have infected the child with a bacteria which can then later on relate to food poisioning and I also witnessed the kids would drop bits of their food on the floor and pick it up to eat it again, the staff did not attempt to stop the kid from putting the food back in his mouth, this falls under the "(food safety act 1990)".a child had a minor burn to the tongue due to a staff not cooling down her food. Cleaning product: I ticked this as a high hazard because when the children were playing with the paints and clay a child had accidentally spilled a bottle of paint onto the floor, as this had happened a staff went to go get bleach and a bucket of water and mop, she left the bleach on the table were the kids were playing and walked off. any one of the children could possibly have tripped over the mop and bucket of water or by leaving the bleach on the table a child could possibly think it is paint and accidentally pour on themselves and others this can be dangerous because you don't know if the child will badly react to the chemical which can

________________ D1. The 4 aspects of professional practice that I have chosen are: . Non-judgemental approaches to practice 2. Time keeping and attendance 3. Short and long term planning 4. Supporting colleagues D2. The reasons why the 4 aspects of professional practices are important because: . Non-judgemental approaches to the practice is very important because you can’t just be pointing fingers at anyone in the setting because you feel that you are right because the same thing might happen to you and you would not like to be blamed for something that you did not do. 2. Good time keeping and the attendance is very important because so many people rely on you to be carrying out your responsibilities this includes the team, the parents and the children. 3. Short and long term planning is important because you will need to use the plan for certain amount of months or years like a short term plan could be for a child or keyworker who just started in your setting and will only be there for a few months that is when the short term plan comes in but if the child or the keyworker will be there for several years or more that is where the long term plan will come in. 4. Supporting colleagues is important because you are a team and if you were to need help your colleagues would think back to the time that you helped them and help you to. When helping colleagues this would
Diversity and Explain the potential effects of discriminatory practice on those who use health or social care service.
Diversity can be differences in race, heritage, customs, belief systems, physical appearance, mental capabilities, etc.. Diversity should be respected and valued because nobody is completely the same as anyone else, even within the categories above. People tend to reject what is different. Our differences/diversities can lead to growth as a society or it can lead to violence and hatred. We must value our diversity in order to work together for the common good of our society/world. Diversity provides options in life and helps thwart hard times and circumstances by allowing a person to be flexible in how to overcome obstacles instead of staying in the same trench without the ability to move out of it. Diversity means differences such as different religious beliefs, different cultural traditions, music, art, dancing etc. In the context of society and culture, diversity is usually mentioned in discussing multicultural societies. What do people from other cultures contribute when they migrate and become part of a new society. The effects of social class can be felt anywhere. Almost every aspect of society is influenced in some manner by social class. The television shows one watches, and the clothes a person buys affect social class. School, work, religious, and home lives are also linked to the influence of social classes. Schools and the workplace are greatly influenced by

The physical development from the ages from 3-7 The physical development for 3 to 7 years At 3 to 4 years they can steer and pedal a tricycle. At 4 to 5 years they can skip with a rope, can throw and catch a large ball. By 7 years they can balance on a beam and hop on one foot these are the gross motor skills which are skills involving movements of children between 3-7 years old, which can take quite a lot of co-ordination.

predictable and unpredictable major life events on the development of the individual
Life span and development Unit 4 Michael Lewis Task 3 (p3)- Describe the influences of two predictable and two unpredictable life events on the development of the individual. Major life events- Predictable and unpredictable events Major life events can be positive and negative and can be unpleasant, frightening, confusing and unsafe at times. Unpleasant stuff happens to all of us wether its predictable or unpredictable by feeling in control and able to organise, learning to cope with changes in life, coping with a physical changes. Predicted events of a teenager: When a child is born they are predicted to move on with their life and live it the best possible way they can. Any major changes can influence development positively within their life, as they grow. When they start secondary school they would want to make new friends and cope with the changes that would come ahead of them, which is known as positive learning. However, there could be risks of stress because no-one might let him/her hang around with them or he/she don't fit in with any group which is painful and makes them feel lonely and anxious; sometimes worthless. Perhaps no one listens to them - then he/she feel that no one cares. This may not really be happening but it feels that way and it hurts. They may feel angry at the world and even stay away from the people you know which lowers their

Unit 4: Development through the life stages P2: Explain the potential effects if 5 life factors on the development of an individual.

It is a defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body breakdown and absorb food. Physically: It may stop a student from taking part in sports and going on a night out with their friends, it will also be similar for an adult, perhaps interfere with their job and roles i.e. being a parent. Intellectually: It may stop a teenager from going to school/college and with adults it may stop them going into work for long periods of time Emotionally: if you had an illness that you knew you could only ease and not get rid of you would become fed up and depression may be as result of this in both teenagers and adults.
