...Legislations, strategies and procedures to reduce the risk of abuse to adults P4): Key legislations & regulations safeguarding adults work: Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006: This purpose of this act is to help protect vulnerable adults avoid harm and keep them safe from harm’s way, also people who are deemed unsuitable to work with children and vulnerable adults from gaining access to them through their work. However this act gives vulnerable adults their independence. Equality Act of 2010: The importance of this act is to protect all individuals from discrimination within the workplace whether they may be physically or mentally unable. This act legally protects individuals no matter their sexual orientation, age, race, disability sex, and religion /beliefs etc. for example if a service user came from a strict culture and it was seen as against the religion to be washed by a man, managers would have to allocate a woman to her aid in order to respect the service user and prevent harassment and risk of abuse to the individual due to their cultural and spiritual needs. Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974: The purpose of this act is to enable some criminal convictions to be overlooked or ignored after the rehabilitation period. This act applies to individuals who are being re-introduced to society and it also applies to individuals who may not have a lifelong blot on their records because of a relatively minor offence in their past. The police Act of 1997: This act...

...M1: This report will explain the role of energy in the body. It will include the different forms of energy in the body, the two laws of energy, anabolism and catabolism and the role of the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system in energy metabolism. Energy is defined in the capacity to do work. Energy is needed for all of the functions of the body, we need it for all the different activities that we do, and for chemical reactions within our body. Some of the things that energy is essential for are; tissue growth; tissue repair; chemical reactions inside the cells, storing nutrients and digestion. The forms of energy comes in three; kinetic energy, chemical energy and potential energy. Chemical energy is the main source of energy for our body. Chemical energy is the bond which unites atoms or molecules with each other. When a new bond is produced between two atoms, energy is needed for its formation and this is mainly in the form of heat but can be light or electrical energy. When a bond is broken and the atoms are free, the energy in the bond is released. Potential energy is stored energy, which is then converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. There are a few types of different energy and these are: chemical, heat, sound, light, electrical and mechanical. There are ‘two laws’ of energy, the first law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, this is the conservation law. The second law states that energy can be transformed...

...Taking part in a group discussion involves the same issues as one to one communication as well as some additional issues. Group communication: Communication in groups can also be influenced by the degree to which people feel they belong together. One of the best-known theorists to explain group information stages is Tuckman. (1965) Tuckman suggested that most groups go through a process involving four stages. These are: * Forming * Storing * Norming * Performing Tuckman’s theory focuses on the way a group of people work to become a team. The first stage is about how people meet for the first time and when they share information. The second stage involves tension, struggle and sometimes arguments about how the group may function. The third stage is about the group coming together and agreeing on their group values. Group values are when group members share a common system of beliefs or values in order for the group to communicate and perform effectively. Once they have established their common expectations and values, the group will reach the fourth stage of being an effective performing group. Furthermore, the theory SOLER was created by a man ‘Egan’. His theory shows that basic non-verbal communication can help make a person feel involved and cared for when working with another person. SOLER is a non-verbal listening method that is used commonly in communication. SOLER means: S: Face squarely; by doing this it shows that a service provider is involved...

...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...

...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...

...There are different patterns and trends in health and illness among many social groupings I have been asked by my employer to investigate these patterns and trends to determine whether a new, larger healthcare centre is needed for the local area. I am going to be examining diabetes within different age groups. The age groups I will be looking at will be: * 0 - 4 years * 10 - 14 years * 16 - 34 years * 75+ years It is estimated that there is more than one in twenty people that suffer from diabetes within the UK, both diagnosed and undiagnosed. “There are 2.9 million people who have been diagnosed with diabetes in the UK (2011). By 2025, it is estimated that five million people will have diabetes in the UK” (Diabetes UK). During my research I found statistics that showed the prevalence of diabetes in the UK. (The table below created by me using data from Diabetes.org). Age | Men | Women | 16 – 34 years | 1.8% | 2.1% | 75+ years | 15.9% | 13.2% | Age | Percentage of Type 1 | Percentage of Type 2 | Percentage of other | 0 – 4 years | 4% | 0% | 9.7% | 10 – 14 years | 42.5% | 39.1% | 35.6% | The Bio-medical model believes that “illness occurs naturally and independently of social behaviour or social influence” (Rasheed, E., Heatherington, A., Irvine, J. 2010.). This model focuses on science and reason over religion and superstitions their view on diabetes would be that, the individual regardless age should seek profession medical help were they can be...

...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...

...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...

...Task 2 Effective communication in health and social care P3,P4,M2,D1 By Hannah Wilshire Communication is very important in a health and social care environment because effective communication is what is needed to understand how someone is feeling and this is crucial because then a care worker can help a service user and cater to their needs. But there are barriers to communication and a care worker will have to find ways to overcome those barriers. Factors that may influence communication and interpersonal interaction in health and social care environments: Barriers associated with the environment: Environmental factors can be a barrier to communication. For example if a care worker and a service user are trying to communicate, and there is lots of background sound. This can be a barrier to communication as the service user may forget what they are saying and if they were talking about their health then this could mean that the care worker is missing information. Therefore the care worker may not be able to give the service user adequate care and treatment as they do not know everything that the service user is experiencing. If it was quiet, then the care worker would not have back ground noise as a distraction, therefore their attention would fully be on the service user. Also if someone is using a hearing aid, the hearing aid will amplify background noise and the voice of the person who is speaking which could be distressing for someone. Also if the environment is...
