INSTRUCTIONS FOR LEARNERS
1. Your teacher(s) will tell you how long you have to complete the assignment and the access you may have to resources.
2. Read the Assignment carefully and make sure that you understand the work you should hand in and what is required of you. If you are uncertain, discuss it with your teacher(s).
3. The ASSIGNMENT requires you to work by yourself and to produce original work. You should not share your work with any other learners. For example, if you produce an illustration diagram electronically, …show more content…
As a Public Services student, you have been asked to provide information that could be given to others interested in joining your chosen public service. This information will cover the areas of both discipline and self-discipline.
Task 1 (P1, M1)
Choose three contrasting public services and research their disciplinary procedures and policies, either by research on the Internet, interviewing a current or former member of those services or by writing to local units to ask questions. Why do these services need discipline, and what role(s) does it fulfil?
Write a leaflet describing and analysing the information you have gathered, to explain to potential recruits what sort of disciplinary procedures they can expect to encounter in training and when serving, and the reasons for it. Your answer should be supported by examples where possible. Your leaflet should be no longer than three sides of A4.
Task 2 (P2, …show more content…
You will research types of authority and look at the nature and importance of authority in the public services. Finally, you will examine the question of blind obedience and its positive and negative effects.
Task introduction
The uniformed public services are a disciplined and clearly structured environment, with clear hierarchical rank structures and defined chains of command. These characteristics are vital for them to operate effectively in complicated and highly pressured situations.
For public service discipline to be effective, members of the services must conform to expectations and obey all rules and regulations in all aspects of their work. Conformity and obedience have been studied by a variety of psychologists, and their work can be related to the public services.
Authority is the exercise of power over others, and can be exercised in various different types. Some of these types of authority are used in the public services, but not all are appropriate.
As your information leaflets about discipline and self-discipline were so good, you have been asked to produce some more about conformity, obedience and authority for potential applicants to your chosen public
