ASSIGNMENT
Introduction and background notes (vocational context)
As a social worker who works in a local authority in East London you are required to have an
understanding of what the influences are on the health of the individuals in your community and who
you work it. You have recently come across a case in which two people could have benefited from
an early intervention from health professionals, teachers, their parents and the wider community.
Task 1: LO1 Understand the socio-economic influences on health.
Jack just moved to the UK as a refugee. He comes from Darfur, Sudan. Jack was recently moved to
a care home because of his poorly managed type 2 diabetes. His leg was recently amputated
because of his condition. They have 6 children, who are staying with their mom in a council house.
The reason they have many children is that according to his culture, he doesn't believe in family
planning. His wife who suffers from depression has not yet found a job, so the family depends on
social benefits as their income. They are both smokers and drinkers and obese. This will be a
reflection on a real life situation from health and social care practice, so all names and information
that could identify the clients, will be changed in accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery Council
guidelines to protect patient confidentiality (2004).
Your report must focus on the issue of either 1) how the social-economic factors faced by Jack and
Deborah influence the health of Jack and Deborah 2) how their predicament could affect their ability
or ability of their children to access health care services.
The main focus of your discussion throughout the assignment must be on Health Promotion and
should relate to the case study where necessary. Certain models of health promotion and
approaches should be addressed to see what could be useful when trying to promote someone like
Jack and Deborah to make a lifestyle change to benefit their own, and in this case their children
You will also then look at Government Initiatives, policies and strategies surrounding this case
scenario, and any ethical issues that arise from this situation and discuss this in relation to Jack
and Deborah.
What you just do
(750 maximum word report) Using the case scenario, you must include the following into your report
and discussion to demonstrate an understanding of the effect socio-economic circumstance can have
on health.
1.1 explain the effects of socio-economic influences on Jack and Deborah's health [P1.1]
1.2 asses the relevance of government resources such as reports/research reporting on inequalities
in health in relation to the case study. [P1.2, D1]
1.3 discuss the reason and any possible barriers to Jack and Deborah accessing health care. [P1.3,

Use the case scenario as a background to answer the following questions.
You must include the following in your report.
3.1 Identify the theories of health behavior and explain how health beliefs are translated into
behavior in relation to Jack and Deborah in the case study. Use the Stages of Change model to
support your answer. [P3.1]
3.2 Discuss the potential effects of conflicts with the local industry on health promotion with respect
to Jack and Deborah. [P3.2, M3]
3.3 Explain with examples the importance of providing relevant health related information to the
public with respect to Jack and Deborah. [P3.3]

9. Glossary
Explain: Clarify a topic by giving a detailed account as to how and why it occurs, or what is
meant by the use of this term in a particular context. Your writing should have clarity so that
complex procedures or sequences of events can be understood; defining key terms where
appropriate, and is substantiated with relevant research.
Assess: Weigh up to what extent something is true. Persuade the reader of your argument by
citing relevant research but also remember to point out any flaws and counter arguments as
well. Conclude by stating clearly how far you are in agreement with the original proposition
Discuss: Essentially this is a written debate where you are using your skill at reasoning, backed
up by carefully selected evidence to make a case for and against an argument, or point out the
advantages and disadvantages of a given context. Remember to arrive at a conclusion.
Analyse: Break an issue into its constituent parts. Look in depth at each part using supporting
arguments and evidence for and against as well as how these interrelate to one another.
Plan: A proposed or intended course of action
Evaluate - when you evaluate you judge or determine the significance, worth, or quality of
something; assess
Recommend - when you recommend you are suggesting something would be good or
suitable for a particular job or purpose, or to suggest that a particular action should be done
