Report on risk assessment process relating to everyday activities.
Ruth Green This report will introduce risk assessment process relating to everyday activities. A risk is a chance high or low, that someone will be harmed by a hazard. A hazard is anything that can cause harm. A risk assessment is basically a careful examination of what could cause harm to people, so that you can weigh up whether you have taken enough precaution or should do more to prevent harm. Risk assessment has five steps: Identifying what the hazard: You identify the hazard by looking around the work place and asking the employers. Estimating who’s at risk is the risk high or low: Decide who might be harmed and how, by identifying groups who might be at risk and identifying how they might be injured. Evaluate the risk and decide on precaution: You control the hazard by, reasonably practicable and looking at what you are already doing also looking at what you can do to minimize the risk. Record your findings and implement them: You then write down what you have found from the risk assessment, share the information with staff and then plan what you are going to do about it. Putting control measures into action and making sure that you are bothered to do it, for example if you buy a fire extinguisher if there is a fire you don’t just leave it there, you use it. Review your assessment and update if necessary: You review and update the things which needs updating.
I am going to explain the five barriers to effective communication within a health and social care environment
Ruth Green BTEC Level 2 Diploma in Health and Social Care Unit 1 Communication in Health and Social Care P2 In my assignment I am going to explain the five barriers to effective communication within a health and social care environment and how they affect the communication cycle. Like language, cultural, slouching and crossing legs, noise and emotion. In health and social care they are many barriers to communication like Language. Language is a barrier to communication because people will not understand each other, because they speak different languages. This barrier affects the communication cycle because, for example in a care home if a service user speaks another language like Punjabi and they do not speak English it will be very difficult for the service user and the carer to understand each other. The other barrier to communication in health and social care is Cultural differences. Communication can be difficult between two cultures. For example, it is seen as polite and respectful to make eye contact when speaking to someone in western culture, but in other cultures, for example in East Asia, it can be seen as rude and defiant. In health and social care, a patient in a hospital could be trying to talk to the doctor but the doctor may not be able to understand what the patient is saying because of the patient’s accent. Also the patient might leave some

Michael Argyle's communication cycle and Tuckmans stages of group interaction.
P2 Theories of communication You can get two different types of theories of communication and they are: Michael Argyles communication cycle and Tuckman’s stages of group interaction. The communication cycle Communication style is when two individuals starting communicating and the ideas they have are understood. For this there is a two way process included for effective communication. This process helps the other individual to understand the opinion of the other individuals. This also includes the procedure of checking understanding, using active or even reflective thinking. Michael Argyle had strong points of view that inter personal communication skill that is can be learned and developed. He made a communication cycle that had a code that you had to translate. This also meant that you had to work out what the opposite individuals behaviour was. Furthermore communication cycle meant that you have to interpret ide code what others are communicating and adds to you also adapting your own behaviour to have effective communication but this can also mean non-verbal and verbal communication do not have to be straight forward. The communication cycle is up-front and it goes step by step. * An idea occurs: this is when the individual knows they want to start communicating. An example may be if a child is at a nursery and he or she wants something they will start
Unit 10 - Explain why children may be taken into care. Describe types of neglect and abuse.
Lissa Williams Unit 10 – Caring for children and young people Pass one – Outline why children and young people may need to be looked after away from their families Children’s Act 1989, 2004 Section 3 (1) in this act parental responsibility means all rights, duties, power, responsibilities and authority which by law a parent or a child has in relation to the child and their property. Children’s Act 1989, describes how local authorities should carry out their responsibilities in relation to care planning, placement and case review for looked after children. These responsibilities are designed to support the local authority in its primary duty set out in section 22(3) of the 1989 Act to safeguard and promote the welfare of the looked after child and to act as good corporate parents to enable each looked after child to achieve his/her full potential in life. A key principle of the 1989 Act is that children are best looked after within their families, with their parents playing a full part in their lives, unless compulsory intervention in family life is necessary. Children in Care This is where the local authority has gone to court for a care order, usually against a parents’ wishes. The local authority may place the child with relatives, with foster carers or in a community (or residential) home until he/she’s 18 years old or the court end the order. Under
Public Health Unit 12 P1 Describe key aspects of public health in the UK
P1 – Describe key aspects of public health in the UK Introduction: In this task I will be producing a description of each approach to health education. I will also use examples that may help my explanations. There are 6 key aspects of public health I will be talking about are: * Monitoring the health status of the population * Identifying the health needs of the population * Controlling communicable diseases * Promoting the health of the population * Developing programs to reduce risk and screen for disease early on * Planning and evaluating the provision of health and social care * Monitoring the health status of the population Monitoring the health status means tracking changes in the health of the population and alerting people to potential problems for example: the rising levels of obesity within the population. Another example can be that in another country the drug use can rise due to certain amount of people taking drugs. While monitoring the health status’s of the population we should be very aware that in certain countries is very much different. Health problems can rise in America, whereas in the United Kingdom it can be very low. Although the basic purposes of monitoring are few, the uses for monitoring data are many and have been well described elsewhere. The purpose of a particular monitoring system may depend on the level of understanding a

P4: Explain potential differences in care needs of individuals at different life stages
P4: Explain potential differences in care needs of individuals at different life stages Whatever life stage that a person is undergoing they will have certain care needs. These care needs can be placed into several categories. In this essay I will be explaining the care needs of individuals during infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. I will explain how these care needs can be similar at each life stage but also be comparing the different life stages and explaining how care needs may be different. The categories that I will be using when explaining these care needs are physical care needs, intellectual care needs, emotional care needs and social care needs. Every individual has physical, intellectual, emotional and social care needs. Physical care needs are to do with our bodies and trying to maintain the effective functioning of our bodies. Intellectual care needs involve the mind and brain and the need to learn new things and keep the mind and brain functioning effectively. Emotional care needs involve our feelings and being able to understand our own feelings as well as other peoples feelings. Finally our social care needs involve a person’s relationships and maintain health social relationships. It is important that all of these care needs are provided for people at different life stages for them to grow and develop as a healthy individual person.
