    Staff changes - Staff are a key resource needed for making person-centred planning possible both in terms of the staffing levels and the skill base of a staff team. Service Users get used to regular staff members and if they have to change half way through their care, then that can affect their improvement and can be very upsetting for the Service User. I work in mental health and if my clients have to change their support worker then they clamp up because they feel they have to relive their life time experiences all over again and this makes them feel that they just want to give up and not bother with having the support. So we have to ensure that even if we go on holiday, another Support Worker does to not visit that client unless there…

    Miley Ashworth is 15 years old and lives with her mother Janie, her stepfather Ben and her younger sister Melissa who is 12 years old; they live in a 3 bedroom house in a council estate based in Bognor Regis. They were transferred here from Angering 3 years ago due to Mileys anti-social behaviour causing nothing but upset and aggravation to her neighbours. Since moving to this new estate Miley has been warned that she must stay on her best behaviour and she has done so up until November this year, three months ago, since then she has been suspected of dealing drugs and is now two months pregnant from who she does not know who the father is. This year, her behaviour and attitude took a toll on her life; she failed her GCSES and has decided not to go back to college. She feels that it is important to find out who the father is so that she doesn’t have to go it alone, she says she was sleeping with three different people around the time of conception. Mileys relationship with her step-father is limited, she feels that since her mum and Ben have been together that she hasn’t had much time to bond with her mum as she feels that her mother does not have time for her, on top of this she feels that she is singled out as Ben is not her real father but is to Melissa, unfortunately Miley feels like Melissa is favoured as she has both her parents living with her but Miley does not. Ben is Muslim and is from a very religious background, he doesn’t believe in sex before marriage and is therefore disgusted with Miley and is it also putting strain on his marriage with Janie as he feels she should have parented Miley better and taught her about self respect. Ben takes his religion very seriously and feels that Miley is going to bring shame on his family, since finding out about Mileys pregnancy he has been provoking her and pushing her into going to the abortion clinic although this is not what Miley wants.…

    Being an intern at a hospice I can imagine can be complex because of the health status of the patients. Special care must be taken not only to ensure the safety of the patient but to their mental and emotional well-being. As Garthwait (2014) explains, social workers must be aware and document all findings when it concerns the patient as this is admissible data that can be presented in a legal case. As you mentioned in your video the patient you spoke of had some injuries and was displeased with the manner in which she was being treated. You also stated that you must follow the written guidelines presented by Goodwill Shepard’s Hospice. Would you classify the fact that your patient receiving chips instead of fruit as a violation of tort law?…

    The author is mindful and fully aware of the benefits of best practice when issues of child protection and protection of fellow professionals are at risk. Our particular model is aimed at providing a “personal centred approach. This provides the client with a sense of social inclusion, empowerment and independence in making their own choices and decisions. This essay illustrates my own personal framework to practice through the use of a case example. It stresses the importance of young people receiving a full assessment to allow understanding of a young person’s behaviours and the importance of evidence based practice in addressing their needs. It identifies how other dynamics such as the power of organisational culture can impact on the care a young person receives. It stresses the difficulty of ensuring a balance between adhering to evidence based practice and statutory regulations against ensuring a homely normal environment and being open to adaptation. Although it promotes evidence based practices it identified the importance of being able to adapt to suit the needs of the young person. The concepts of inclusion, consultation, communication and the key-working relationship all proved vital in every young person’s progress. The importance of being aware that rehabilitation is a long process that involves taking things at the young person’s pace is promoted in this essay. I remain firm in my belief that every child is a unique individual and the importance of adapting a varied, inclusive approach to interventions to ensure paramountcy of child welfare in our work is…

    ‘’Equality in the UK is about fostering and promoting the right to be different, to be free from discrimination, and to have choice and dignity and to be valued as an individual, with a right to their own beliefs and values.’’ This means that individuals should be able to be themselves without having the fear that another individual is judging them. Giving people equal opportunities means treating every person as an individual without making judgements. By enforcing equality it should create a way of life in which individuals of all backgrounds and experiences feel valued and appreciated. An example of promoting equality in a health and social care setting includes delivering services and options that will meet diverse needs of adults such as in a residential home. Enforcing equality in health and social care settings can help to reduce the risk of abuse in adults because all victims of different backgrounds will feel as if they are equal to receive fair justice and treatment.…
