This includes the theories and policies that underpin health and social care practice and explore formal and informal mechanisms required to promote good practice by individuals in the workplace, including strategies that can influence the performance of others. Task 1: LO1 Understand how principles of support are implemented in health and social care practice (Link to Unit 4) What you must do (Recommended 1000 word) Scenario Angela has been working with Ahmed and Sylvia for several years that are both 70 years old and their children live in another country. Ahmed has Alzheimer's disease (a degenerative form of dementia) and has become increasingly violent towards Sylvia. Sylvia has a hearing impairment and can only communicate by using sign language. Ahmed has also lost the ability to distinguish between night and day and spends most nights awake and walking around the house. Angela, the care worker, has noticed that caring for Ahmed is increasingly exhausting for Sylvia, who is Ahmed's informal carer. Prior to his dementia both Ahmed and Sylvia discussed that they never want to live in a care home and would rather be cared for at home. Angela discusses the present situation with her line manager and both Ahmed and Sylvia's children. They then decide to amend Ahmed's support plan and recommend that Ahmed be moved to a care home to give Sylvia a break from her caring role. Sylvia is very upset when told of this and feels that she has not been consulted. She feels that she can no longer trust Angela and her children and believes that they are undermining her role inICON College of Technology and Management Pearson BTEC Level 5 HND in Health and Social Care (QCF) Unit 2: Principles of Health and Social Care Practice (L5) Session: February 2016 Recommended Word limit: Maximum 3,500 Department of Health and Social Care caring for Ahmed.

The first section of your report you must explain with examples how principles of support are applied to guarantee that Ahmed and Sylvia are cared for in Health and Social Care practice. In your answers, you could use examples such as dignity, choice, respecting diversity, privacy, independence etc. In addition you can use examples from the knowledge and experience gained from your workplace practice in Unit 4 (Personal and Professional Development in HSC) to support your answer to the question. [P1.1] In the second section of your report you must outline what are the procedures for protecting clients, patients and colleagues such as Ahmed and Sylvia from harm. For example in your outline you could focus on confidentiality, policies about sharing information etc. Again use examples from knowledge and experience acquired from Unit 4 (Personal and Professional Development in HSC) workplace practice to support your answer. [P1.2, M2] In the third section of your report, you should analyse the advantage of using a person centred approach with users such as Ahmed and Sylvia of health and social care services. [P1.2, M1] Give some examples to buttress your understanding of how you used person centred approach with service users in health and social care using knowledge and experience acquired from Unit 4 (Personal and Professional Development in HSC) workplace practice in health and social care: You could include in your analysis why it is important to support the preferences of the service users such as Ahmed and Sylvia; why is it important to support service users' rights and maintain their dignity and why is it important to support others to make informed choices about the services they need.

This is linked to your workplace practice experience. [P1.4]  To achieve M1, judgements have been made about what makes person centered approach effective in the case scenario and give examples from your own health workplace setting.  To achieve M2, complex information using confidentiality has been synthesised and processed to outline the procedure for protecting clients, patients, and colleagues from harm.ICON College of Technology and Management Pearson BTEC Level 5 HND in Health and Social Care (QCF) Unit 2: Principles of Health and Social Care Practice (L5) Session: February 2016 Recommended Word limit: Maximum 3,500 Department of Health and Social Care Task 2: LO2 Understand the impact of policy, legislation, regulation, codes of practice and standards on organisation policy and practice What you must do (Recommended 700 words) Scenario Rachel is worried about her mother because previously care workers abused her.
