...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.

...Enduring Power Of Attorney Act: This is for individuals who are lacking the mental capacity and need somebody else to help them manage their legal, financial and health problems. The mental capacity act therefore made it legal so that those who are unable to make their own decisions have the ability to choose somebody who they feel they can trust to help manage their finances, properties and to help make their health and welfare decision. This is done through the power of attorney. This act links to individuals who suffer with dementia as within the late stages of dementia they will need to give someone the power of attorney due to the fact that they will not be able to manage their legal financial and health problems. Human Rights Act: This act not only impacts an individual’s life or their death it impacts their daily life and beliefs. Everyone has the responsibility to respect each other’s rights even if they are different to theirs. The government have the right to limit or control an individual’s rights depending on the rights that an individual needs. This act links to individuals who suffer with dementia as they will need certain rights and these rights will need to be met whether these people can provide care for themselves or whether they will need carers to help them meet these needs. Their needs may also be helping them to keep hygienic due to the fact that they might not remember or even taking medication or going to the doctors. Data Protection Act: This act states...

You’ve learned how to think at a higher level this term and how to weigh information based on its level of credibility. You will now put your new thinking skills to good use. This assignment involves watching a credible FRONTLINE documentary online, and then discussing its content related to health. As you watch, you will find questions below to help you sort the information. You should pause the program to think about and write your answers in detail. If you don’t, you may end up spending time returning to rewatch portions of the program. The last question of the worksheet will ask you to use the other worksheet answers to compile a comprehensive essay discussing the program’s content and its implications on health. There is no “right” or “wrong” answer here. However, if you fail to provide a balanced perspective or if you state opinions void of justification or thorough discussion, you will earn a poor score.

...A History of Early Childhood – Johann Pestalozzi Johann Pestalozzi was an 18th century educational reformer who believed that every child has the innate ability to develop emotionally, intellectually and physically when given education. Another belief of his is that true learning and development of a skill takes place best when a child is participating in an activity that requires the particular skill instead of the traditional passive form of education. (Brühlmeier, A. 2010) His philosophy basically states that every child has the capacity to develop holistically through education. I find this to be true as this is basis on which modern education systems function and it has been proving that the provision of education can develop a well-rounded individual regardless of the child’s family background or economic status. With regards to the different methods that facilitate learning, I find that it is especially essential to incorporate hands on activities that through completing, teach the child a certain skill or concept. This not only makes the child an active participant in his learning but also gives him the opportunity to use his senses in unison with his intellect, which I believe develops the cognitive ability. After observing some of the children in my class who are mostly three year olds, I’ve come to realize that they learn through experience and play. When they are taken out for outdoor activities, they learn to run carefully by previous experiences of...

...Psychology Worksheet Curtis Lee Morrissette Jr PSY/211 08/12/2015 University of Phoenix Origins of Psychology In 1913, The Behavioral Perspective was founded by American psychologist, John B. Watson. Behavioral is one out of several perspectives used to describe, predict, and explain human behavior. The behavioral perspective focuses primarily on observable and measurable aspects of human behavior. B. F. Skinner was an American psychologist that would later refine the behavioral perspective. Radical behaviorism includes operant conditioning where actions are strengthened or reinforced. For example I enjoy playing Basketball because it clears my mind, so I am more then likely going to play basketball more. The Humanistic Perspective is used to describe, predict and explain human behavior by focusing on how personality, behavior, and mental processes are influenced by an innate capacity for personal growth. It also pat attention to creativity, free will, and human potential. Humanistic Perspective is often called the “third force” it is the response to the limitation of Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic and B.F. Skinner’s behaviorism. Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers are two of the most famous founders of humanistic perspective which rose to prominence in the mid-20 century. The Psychodynamic Perspective is how unconscious or conscious processes determine human behavior. Psychodynamics studies the mind, personality, or psyche as they relate to mental, emotional...

...Introduction A therapist is bound to encounter boredom, burnout and or therapist impairment at some point during her career. These may have a significant impact on therapist efficacy and inflict intentional or unintentional physical and or psychological harm on clients who are seeking counselling if not managed properly. Therefore, it is of great importance to recognise the signs of such problems by looking after oneself physically and psychologically, which is crucial to both the therapist’s and the client’s well-being. The author aims to explore the effects of boredom, burnout and impairment and how the author can maintain therapist efficacy through career-sustaining behaviours. Boredom The experience of boredom, also known as disenchantment or disengagement, as (Campagne, 2012; Ulberg, Amlo, Hersoug, Dahl, & Høglend, 2014) named respectively, affects humanity in a variety of ways. Kottler (2010, p. 169) defines boredom as the “loss of interest and momentum” and lack of stimulation in one’s work. Similarly, Campagne (2012, p. 76) defines boredom as a “loss of interest in and emotional demotivation for the professional activity itself” and stresses that it involves the loss of flow and professional motivation, which is prior to, but can eventually lead to burnout if the symptoms are ignored. In the therapeutic setting, boredom can manifest in different forms, such as, “repetition that is so difficult to tolerate, not only in the similarity of client complaints but in the...

...A tutorial in managerial accounting concepts and financial modeling using Excel Assignment 1: Introduction We will begin our work this semester with a case called Caribbean Internet Café [hereafter, CIC]. In the CIC case, David Grant wants to open an Internet Café in Kingston, Jamaica. This simple business setting is familiar; how many coffee shops, drive-up or otherwise, can you think of that are within walking distance of campus? Even if you are not a coffee-holic, the operation of one of these places should be fairly self-evident. This assignment will help to fulfill a number of major objectives of the course: 1. The CIC case makes use of a relatively familiar context in which to introduce many of the managerial accounting concepts we will deal with this semester. The familiarity of the context should enable you to associate managerial accounting terminology with real world phenomena. 2. The structure of this series of exercises also provides an opportunity to develop your skills in using Excel to do financial modeling. Irrespective of your preferences for a career choice, financial modeling will be a critical skill in your professional life. Marketers and HR specialists take note: there is no avoiding the numbers. 3. The majority of you are still relatively early in your path through the School of Business program. Case analyses will be an important element in several of your subsequent courses. One key to successful case analysis is meticulous organization of relevant...

...research must be done in order to obtain the empirical principle, also, some common sense is applied (Pardo, 2004). According to research, children who are taught early enough in an organized manner on how to interpret words, post a better result than those who are taught later using a random approach. Children who gain the essential ability to decode words move on forward and are be able to rely on themselves on learning words and reading, they mostly do not depend on the teachers (Kennedy et al, 2002). To make sure that phonics are achieved well by children the best instruction is to make sure that phonological awareness and alphabetic principles are well developed. One should not focus on teaching the basic rules and they should not use worksheets, they should make sure that the class is always active and never bored. Fluency is a method that can also be used in teaching. The way an individual reads a passage with accuracy as well as speed is known as fluency. It is known as a way to comprehension. For a person to be fluency he or she is supposed to apply several skills simultaneously while reading. When an individual is tasked with reading a specific passage, they are required to be able to comprehend the words they are reading as well as be able to interpret them. They should also be able to complete sentences that they are reading. Practices to be incorporated into teaching They are several factors that define the rate of reading in a child. The factors include the strategies...
