Communicational skills in a health and social care setting
The aim of this unit Is to review and improve my communicational skills in a health and social care setting. To do this I am going to complete two recorded interactions, one as a group interaction and one as a one-on-one interaction. After performing my first interaction I will need to analyse it so that I can improve on my faults before I perform my second interaction. This is important as it shows what I have done wrong, how I can improve it and help me set-up an action plan to improve my communication before my second interaction. Introduction Everyone communicates in some way or another, nowadays communication is getting even easier due to new technology being at it's prime, you don't just write a letter or speak to someone anymore, it is now possible to use a telephone or a mobile phone for phone calls to far away places, or contact someone through e-mail, but not everyone knows how to communicate effectively. Communication is not about being a good talker and having a very large vocabulary but is much more importantly about listening and body language, body language experts will tell you that you can quite often tell more about a person through watching them listen and respond to you than actually through them talking to you, most people find it easy enough to lie to people about how they feel, but not many can hide our body language. Listening techniques and good

Jennifer Pedler Matthew Fitzpatrick Ethics and Values - Unit 23 In this Assessment, I am going to produce a training pack on ethical issues in social work for use by student social workers. I will provide practical help for new social workers to help them understand and deal with ethical issues and dilemmas which they will face. There are many ethical issues which are important to social work, but I feel that these are all covered by the care value base. The care value base Was devised by the care sector consortium in 1992, this was so that the workers in health and social care had a common set of values and principles which they would all adhere to. It is important because for the first time the social care sector had a clear set of guidelines from which ethical judgements could be made. The care value base is divided into 5 elements - The care value base covers - Equality and Diversity - Rights and responsibilities - Confidentiality - Promoting anti Discrimination - Effective communication Equality and Diversity Carers must value diversity themselves before they can effectively care for the different races, religions and differently abled people they will come across in their caring profession. Diversity is where there are many different kinds of people living in a community together. This means that in a set environment there will be black, Asian, gay,
Working with Children - settings, legislation and values.
E1 When discussing what types of setting which provide care and education, you need to take into consideration the different types such as statutory sectors, voluntary sectors and private sectors. Statutory sectors are services which have to be provided by law for children and families, this requires the government or local authorities to provided them. A statutory sector is like school (private not included) it must be provide and must be attended to as this is a vital learning programme of life. E.g. you attend pre schools to write, learn simple mathematics then you attend school to advance on the skills learnt and get ready for when you leave school. Voluntary sectors are services that are organisations such as charities where some or all of their funding comes from donations. Voluntary sectors are places like barnardos, childline and the children’s society. Local voluntary sectors are places such as NSPCC and The Leeds Community Foundation which aims to improve the quality of life of local people in Leeds. Private sectors are profit making services. Private sectors are services such as nannies and childminders. Local private sectors are places like children’s centres such as wacky warehouse, go hyper they are also places like independent (private) schools such as dale house school in Batley.

State the typical age range and the stage of play of the children who might play in the setting: Home would be for 0-16 years because they would be there a lot of the time and would have to play to develop there skills. This is co-operative play which is children work together to gain something in the end. Adventure Park setting would be for 4+ years because something’s could be too challenging for a very young child and they could hurt themselves. This is associate play were children play and start to interact with other children and develop much needed skills. Pre- school setting would be for 3-5 years because that would be the age range for children in pre – school setting.

Discuss the care strategies that can be used to support individuals with each of the physiological disorders
P5- Explain the care strategies that can be used to support individuals with each of the physiological disorders. A strategy is a plan to deliver services to meet targets; you might prefer to think of this in the form of treatment, therapies or support. To meet this criterion, you need to consider all the types of care treatment and support that there individual is receiving. M3- Discuss the care strategies that can be used to support individuals with each of the physiological disorders. Care strategies Care strategies need to be review regularly over a period of time this is done to ensure that they are in focused on the individual at the centre of the care. Medication that has been given to the individual has to also be reviews as it may have reached its time limit this means that they might become immune to it like some antibiotics people can become immune to so that this drug will not be affective. Checks have to be done to make sure that the medication is still effective and is working correctly and the patient isn’t suffering any side effects. If there are side effects occurring or the individual has become immune to their medication there will be investigations in to which alternative medication can be given to them that won’t react the same. Scans and x-rays may need to be repeated by the people that have put together the care strategy this is done so that if
All of these poems deal with parents' relationships with and reflections on their children.Plath, Broadstreet, Hood
All of these poems deal with parents' relationships with and reflections on their children. Show how the poets bring out their feelings through use of theme, language, imagery and structure The relationship between parent and child is one of great mystery and also profundity. Love can survive a lifetime but can also falter within a second, though the love of a parent for their child, their offspring, no matter what, is eternal and unconditional. Though it is hard to express a love so full of devotion, so powerful it can survive generations, in to a few simple words. Yet here we have three poems written over four centuries expressing the author's love for their child. Although the poems were written in a number of different eras, where social stance, economy and living conditions were so different, love is and will always be the same. Love can bring endless pain and heartbreak but also immeasurable joy and happiness and this vast range of emotions is captured in the three poems that we studied. The earliest to be written being, 'For my son Samuel, on his going to England, Novem 6, 1687, wrote by Ann Bradstreet confessing her worries over her sons departure on a sea voyage. A later poem was, a parental ode to my son, aged 3 years and 5 months, by 'Thomas Hood', written in a humorous style, with many contradictions. Then the modern poem, written by Sylvia Plath relates to her
Children and the Law.
UNIVERSITY OF HERTFORDSHIRE FACULTY OF LAW COURSEWORK FOR (Children and the Law) AUTHOR - (237494) DATE - (6th May 2003) SEMINAR GROUP - (5) SEMINAR TUTOR - (Sophie Tarassenko) SCHEME - (LG2) Ruth is a heroin addict and works as a prostitute to pay for her addiction. She has two children, Daniel aged 13, and Ellie aged 2. Ruth has never been married, nor has she ever entered into a parental responsibility agreement with either of the children's fathers. She does not know who Daniel's father is. Ellie's father is also a heroin addict. He has no interest in his daughter. Ruth loves her children. She has, however, been known to disappear for days at a time, leaving them alone, or with total strangers. Sometimes the house is filthy and there is no food. She hates social services and will often refuse to allow them into the house. The children are on the child protection register and the social worker, Carrie, does not feel that anything has been achieved. If anything, the situation is getting worse, not better, and Ruth has recently threatened her. She thinks that both children should be in foster care. She has told Ruth that if she does not place them in voluntary foster care, she will go to Court and get an order. Ruth's mother, Sandra, helps Ruth with the children, and Ellie often stays with her when things get bad. Sandra would like them to come and
