...A911 Health and Social Care And Early Years Provision Controlled Assessment Task Task 1: Preparation: As part of my coursework I will be investigating a service in the Early Years sector. The following are the aims for my coursework: The range of care needs of your client group (The choice of health, developmental and social needs of babies and children) I would questionnaire parents and also questionnaire different staff for each service (Primary Research). I also would research from health and social care fact books (Secondary Research).The reason I would questionnaire parents and staff is because they have the knowledge and understanding of young babies and children and know what the choice of needs are for them. The other reason is because they have also the experience in which they can and give to me. The reason I would research from health and social care fact books are because people who have taken degrees in these subject have written these books and would be more reliable that me searching on the Internet for this aim. The ways your client group can obtain care services and the possible barriers that can prevent them from gaining access to these services. (The customs that babies and children can gain from care services and the achievable barriers that can stop babies and children from getting hold of access to these services). I would research on the internet and questionnaire service providers. The reason I would research ask services is because they do offer...

...Information booklet: Unit 3 P2 Outline how legislation, policies and procedures relating to health and social Care influence health and Social Care settings Introduction: In this assignment, it is important to outline how legislation, policies and procedures relating to health and social Care influence health and Social Care settings. Definition of legislation: Legislation is a law or set of laws agreed by the government which must be followed and done. Definition of regulation: A principle, rule or law designed to control behavior. Food Safety Act (1990) The Food Safety Act was introduced in 1990 in response to public concern over the safety of food. This Act aims to control safety at all stages of food production. This legislation was also introduced in order to sell and keep food for sale which is unfit for people to eat. For example in a kitchen when staffs are placing foods in fridges and cupboards, they must ensure that the dates of the foods are up to date and checked properly. All food premises must be clean and free from rubbish, all equipment must be clean and good hygiene practices should be observed at all times. Under the Food Safety Act it is illegal to sell food unfit for human consumption. This means people may pass poor quality food off as good food to make money. The food safety Act 1990 influences health and social care settings so that Staffs check dates continuously on stocks to ensure that the foods are in good condition by checking that...

...UNIT 3 – HEALTH, SAFETY AND SECURITY IN HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE P1 – Explain potential hazards and the harm that may arise from each in a health and social care setting. Hazards are referred to as anything that can cause harm to someone. Hazards can be found everywhere, for example, people will be able to spot hazards when travelling to work and when they are present in the workplace. Additionally, there are three main types of hazard, these are health hazards, safety hazards and security hazards. A health hazard would be a risk of somebody becoming ill from an incident. A safety hazard would associate with someone becoming injured, however a safety hazard could also relate to an incident that can be caused by broken equipment or a damaged building. A security hazard would be the risk of an incident where for example information has been exposed, intruders entering a property whereby a child might be abducted from a school or even a patient discharges themselves from a health and social care setting without consent. Employers, employees and professionals overall, in particular health and social care professionals have to prevent risks that may arise from hazards in order to keep themselves, other service providers and service users safe from illness, injury or any potential harm overall; every individual within the workplace has to be kept safe from harm (even cleaners and caterers). Although there should be a balance between exposing individuals to unreasonable risks and over...

...Using your communication log, create a PowerPoint presentation explaining the factors that influence communication and interpersonal interactions (P3). Environment our surroundings can influence the way that we communicate for example if there is a lot of background noise then it’s hard to hear what someone is telling you and also its hard to concentrate on what you came to tell the other person e.g. important problem, because you easily get distracted.it is also hard to make sense of other people’s facial expressions if you can’t see their faces because of the poor lighting. If the room seating is positioned where people cannot see each other faces then it will hard for them to communicate with each if they can’t each other’s faces. Most of the time people feel uncomfortable if they are too closes or too far away. Also if a person is been interviewed in a room which is either too hot or too cold the person being interviewed will only make a brief comment on a question asked this also he/she will feel tired or stressed due to the temperature of the room. The environment plays a vital role in the effectiveness of communication aids. For example hearing aids will increase background noise as well as the voice of the speaker so that’s why noisy environment may be hard and unpleasant for someone who is using hearing aid. Good lighting will help those people who support their understanding by reading lips. The time limits on how long you can use a room can also interfere with...

...How well do system work? LO3: Understand the monitoring and review of Health and Safety in the health and social care workplace. Monitoring and Reviewing Health and Safety Policies and Practices In Health and Social Care setting, the legislation, policies and procedures are regulated, in order to achieve the best outcome for the service user and the service. Every sector would aim to provide the high quality of care and service, for the service users and the workers. To achieve the standard the services has to go through lots of process, for example implementing the legislation, policies and procedures in the work of practices. To ensure whether the services have followed the rules and regulations, there are organisations that go around and inspect the services. Organisations like Care Quality Commission (CQC) and Healthwatch England sets out the standards and inspects the services; required by the law to the setting like: residential homes, nursing homes, hospitals, GPs etc. Care Quality Commission (CQC) main aim is to ensure “care services in England provide people with safe, effective,...

...M1 - In this report, I will be further discussing use of the range of ICT, focusing more so on how and why other electronic systems and software are used in different contexts across both health and social care sectors. There are a range of technologies used in HSC and I will assess the impact and/or important of each. A hardware which is used across all health and social care sectors is the computer; this is the most used hardware in all HSC settings since it enables access to a variety of software. In a in a hospital, for example, a computer is extremely important since it handles medical data and has all records stored onto software on the computer. Without having computers in a hospital, medical bills, prescriptions, medication, details of patients and so on, would have to be written down on paper which takes up an enormous amount of time, and if lost, this means it would result in major problems since there is no extra copy. Therefore, the use of computers are very useful in hospitals because data can be backed up if lost or data can be even printed out which saves time and enables hospitals to run more smoothly. Software, such as Electronic...

...part of the assessment. I will be explaining 3 concepts. Which are equality, diversity and rights in relation to health and social care. Equality: This is treating people fairly in respect of the nine protected characteristics. This is also ensuring that people have the same rights and opportunities. In equality no one is treated different everyone is treated fairly that will benefit them. For example, if an individual is not allowed to access a centre because of his/her disability, this is known as inequality because the individual is not treated how an able body person will be treated. If equality is taken place in this situation, the disabled individual will be treated how a able bodied individual will be treated. Another example, a service provider thinks a service user is guy because of how the individual acts and talks to people. In this situation the service user is been discriminated because of his sexual orientation. If people are treated...

...Describe the application of behaviorist perspectives in health and social care. (P1) Operant conditioning is a type of behavior modification which can be used to either decrease or increase the likelihoods of a certain aspect of a behavior will occur. The process relies on the idea that organisms (a person) respond to stimuli, and that if they can be taught to associate a specific stimulus with a particular behavior, they will be more likely to engage in or avoid the behavior, depending on the type of stimulus involved. This approach first came to notice B.F Skinner (s famous psychologist) were of his work was carried out in the 20th centaury. His work was mainly with the use of rats and pigeons to us e them to discover new ways of leering style and behaviors. Skinner was create1a very famous box which is still used today some science experiment call the Skinner box. This bow was designed with a lever which when pressed by a rate inside it would produce a food pellet to the rat when pressed accidentally. After a while the rate will begin to realize that when it presses the lever a food pellet will be released so there for will repeated this action for to receive food. The pellet of food in this situation is a product of reinforcing as the rat will like more of the food an can get it when he wants by pressing the lever which in turn increases the possibility of this behavior being repeated. There are two different types of stimuli which can be used in operant conditioning...

...P1 The behaviourist perspective focuses solely on observing human behaviour; behaviourist psychologists believe that new born babies are born with a ‘clean slate’ – that we adopt our means for behaviour by learning. Pavlov was a behavioural psychologist and he was conducting an experiment on how the production of saliva helps dogs to digest food. However, Pavlov found that his dog would sometimes salivate before his food arrived. This lead him to realise that the dog had learnt to associate his food with other stimulus; for example reaching for the dog food or picking up his bowl. Pavlov then began to ring a bell whenever the dog would receive food, and eventually found that the dog would produce saliva whenever the bell was rung. This is known as classical conditioning, which Pavlov applied to humans. This is when a stimulus creates a new response which is learned by association. To begin with, Pavlov’s dog innately reacted to receiving food by producing saliva; here, the food is an unconditioned stimuli and the saliva produced is an unconditioned response. However, when another stimulus (the neutral stimuli) such as the bell, is added to the unconditioned stimuli, this also creates the unconditioned response. With consistency the new stimulus will create the conditioned response; therefore producing saliva when the bell is rung. Here, the bell has become a conditioned stimuli and the salivating has become a conditioned response. American psychologist Watson conducted an experiment...

...P1 Context of communication One to one, when you start a conversation with someone it is important to create a good and positive emotional atmosphere, before you and discuss complicated problems or give people information. The person who you are talking to needs to feel relaxed and comfortable to talk to you. You can help a person to feel relaxed by showing them you are friendly and a way to do this is to maybe say ‘good morning’ or even asking them how they are, make sure that you do this in a friendly tone of voice so that they will feel more comfortable than if you are shouting at them. One to one strengths and weaknesses the strengths of one to one is that you can see each other’s facial expressions. The weaknesses of one to one if that the person you are trying to talk to may not be comfortable therefore they may not want to talk. Participating in a group discussion if a bit like one to one but with more people. A group discussion only works if the people want to be involved. Some people who work in a group try and stay quiet as they are worried what the group’s reactions might be. It is important to maintain a good emotional atmosphere so that everyone in the group feels comfortable to talk. Sometimes there are team leaders but there doesn’t have to be. It is a good idea to have a team leader as they can encourage others to express their ideas. In group communication everybody must take it in turns so that everybody is heard, as if everybody talks at once no-one is...

...P5 - Homeostasis is ‘the process of maintaining a constant internal environment despite changing environments’ (Aldworth, Billingham, Moonie, & Talman, 2010). The internal environment that our body consists of is made up of blood, tissue fluid, body cell components and our metabolism and its process. Constant internal environment means that the chemical and physical composition should remain within a limited range in order to make it as effective as possible. Keeping the valuables within a limited range not only makes sure that the body’s processes are as effective as possible, keeping the well-being of the whole body and its maintenance up to good standards. Heart rate Negative feedback is a way in which regulation occurs within the body which requires receptors, your control centre and effectors in order to be able to function properly. When key variables within the body are outside the accepted range for any reason negative feedback returns the variable within it’s acceptable range. An example would be if the PH of your blood changes for any reason or you become too hot after exercise so your body tries to regulate those variables back within the suitable ranges by different methods. Blood glucose levels may fall for any reasons and the bodies way of coping with this is to produce liver glycogen which is converted into glucose in order to bring the energy levels in cells back up to the range which it should be within. Our brain and nervous system are involved in negative...

...element of health and illness. These things will include the introduction of social groups and looking at their statistics. “A social group is a collection of people who interact with each other and share similar characteristics and a sense of unity. A social category is a collection of people who do not interact but who share similar characteristics. For example, women, men, the elderly, and high school students all constitute social categories. A social category can become a social group when the members in the category interact with each other and identify themselves as members of the group.” - Anonymous, 2014. No only will I be looking at the social elements, but how it links in to health and trends in illness to find out just how the can both relate. Things such as Morbidity rates (the counted statistic rate in which disease appears in the population). Not forgetting other patterns in health including mortality rate known to be the amount of deaths calculated per annum along with many other rates that can effect the illness of social groups and reasons as to why and how these rates may effect them. As previously mentioned before a social group is a collection of people who interact with each other and share similar characteristics and a sense of unity. A social category is a collection of people who do not interact but who share similar characteristics. For example, women, men, the elderly, and high school students all constitute social categories.
