Health and Social Care Management

Question: Write an explanation of one piece of legislation, one policy and one code of practice that can be applied to care planning and assessments to work place. Describe how three key professionals could be involved in planning support for individuals. Answer: Legislation Disability discrimination act The constitution envisages that the nation will never differentiate any person with regard to caste, creed, religion, faith etc and the state will endeavour the complete development of every person to his full capabilities. The suitable environment would be provided to everyone to let him flourish and his assessment would never be subjective (Repa, 2010). The nations as well as states have passed various legislations to provide due dignity, respect and honour to the entire citizen. The management or senior officers will be not be working in authoritative mode, rather there will be participative and friendly relations encompassing good standard of communication among the employees. For this purpose, the employees would be imparted necessary awareness about rich cultures of country and its heritage. There would be all steps taken to eliminate discrimination on account of any physical or mental disability. For the purpose the data about the citizen would be collected and the data would not be shared with the person not authorised to know it. However, such data would be available for access for the person directly related to him. Policies- Health and safety policy- With the purpose of Sarvodaya or Ram Rajya, the state would make the policies for safeguarding the in interest of different class of citizen. These policies would be related to their health and safety. Health and safety also indirectly covers all aspects like accident, injury assessment of risk involved in accomplishment of any task, and related remuneration etc (Walters and Nichols, 2007). There are policies regarding the storing and handling of such substances so that the health of the workers is not unduly affected. There are the policies that person violating the laws and acting against, would be dealt severely. Code of Practice- Educational childcare- It has been ensured that the laws and policies made by legislation and various other authorities are utilised to the full extent and then only the purpose of making those will be achieved. With this view, various councils and committees are made in almost all the institutions and organisations. For example, for the children of special needs, there are various educational institutions and committees made, so that they are not left helpless and their development to the fullest capacities be achieved (Childcare and early education - GOV.UK, 2016). Appointments of special educators, counsellors and other welfare staff are one such measure. It has been seen that various laws, rules, regulations and policies cant yield the desired result, until and unless the key professional are involved. So, their involved is quite necessary and they will aid in the following manner: Classroom Teacher - The great scholar Shakespeare has said that the student is a book and the teacher needs to study it from page to page (every page). This means that the teacher must understand the needs and abilities of the each and every student he teaches. The system of classroom teacher made in schools and other educational institutions are made with some purpose and this purpose is to have close and caring attitude towards the children and their complete development (Farrell, Balshaw and Polat, 2016). The classroom teacher knows the special needs of children and he can be of great help in planning the syllabus, curriculum and other activities related to the students. Social Worker- Everybody cant be a social worker, to be such special bend of mind and heart is required together with helping attitude. A social worker does not work for remuneration, but from his free will and happiness. He has complete knowledge of the society and it specific problems, issues as well as strong points. His involvement in planning would help in making plans for removal of various social evils that exist in a particular society (Walters and Nichols, 2007). Special Educational Needs Coordinator- It is well known that all the human beings are not similar in physical as well as mental capabilities. Their nature, attitude and associated behaviour are too different various aspects. So, all the children cant be taught by one single method. The pattern of education, standard of teaching etc. should according to the children so that they grasp it and put them to use (SENCO, 2016). A special education needs coordinator is expert in this field and he makes arrangements according to the need of student for bringing them up to the satisfactory level. His involvement in planning would result in implementation of special schemes and plans for the special children. References Whitehead, D., 2006.
