...Unit 6 Task 3 In this assignment I am going to discuss different examples of discrimination, which will include direct/indirect, prejudice, stereotyping, labelling and abuse. Direct Direct discrimination is when someone is rude or offensive to someone or treats them less favourably because they see them as being different. An example of someone being discriminated directly is when someone is overweight and called nasty names in school. Indirect Indirect discrimination is when something is said to another person but not to them. An example of this is a care worker telling another care worker about what a service user is demanding how certain things are done. Prejudice Prejudice discrimination is when someone judges them without even knowing anything about them. Example of this is the way they look this could be their sexuality, gender or social class. Stereotyping Stereotyping discrimination is making assumptions about someone. Example of this is when people talk to older people slowly, loud and patronisingly because I assume they are deaf. Labelling Labelling discrimination is also linked to stereotyping by making assumptions about them. Example of this is someone meets a mother pushing her teenage son in a wheelchair and speaks to the mother over the head of her son, talking about him as if he isn’t there. Abuse There are different types of abuse discrimination; this can be, physical, verbal and sexual. Examples of these: if someone is living with a violent partner...

...A02-B In this section of my coursework I will explain how practitioners apply early years care values using communication skills to show service users value and support. I will use a range of examples to explain each care value in depth. For the each care value I will emphasise on how a nursery manager and nursery use their communication skills to apply the care value, which will cause the children, staff and parents to feel valued and supported. The early years care values I will be focusing on are: • Fostering equality of opportunity • Working in partnership with families • Being a reflective practitioner • Keeping children safe • Working in partnership with other professionals • Encouraging children’s learning development • Maintaining confidentiality • Making welfare of child paramount • Valuing diversity • Ensuring anti-discrimination Care value 1 - Fostering equality of opportunity This suggests that all children should be offered equal access and opportunities to learn and develop, therefore children should be able to make progress with their time in the nursery. Equal opportunity can be achieved, through the fairness of the staff working with the children at the nursery, and also through communication skills which should be consistent so all children have an equal opportunity of advancing within learning. Tone of voice: The nursery nurse should speak at an appropriate pace (i.e. slowly) so the children can understand clearly and respond, talking at...

...Unit 2: Physiology of Fitness (P1) Describe the musculoskeletal and energy systems response to acute exercise. Musculoskeletal Responses to acute exercise Increased Blood Supply As you start to exercise your muscles start to increase their need for oxygen and there is a higher demand of other nutrients such as carbohydrates and fats which are needed to produce adenosine triphosphate. . In the body, red blood cells are used to transport oxygen around the body. To do this more comfortably and quickly, blood vessels expands to allow more blood to enter your muscles. Due to this increase in activity the demands for oxygen is much greater. This extra demand is met by an increase in blood supply through capillary dilation or constriction. Allowing the body to control the flow of blood (blood shunting). Look at blood supply difference to muscles during exercise! Increase in muscle pliability Having pliable...

...P2 Case Study 1 – Jane has recently been diagnosed with agoraphobia after she was mugged whilst on her way to town. She has been referred to the community mental health team and following an assessment has been referred to the behavioural therapist within the team. She is undergoing systematic desensitisation as a form of treatment for her phobia. The behaviourism approach is applied to this case study. According to the behaviourism approach, Jane would receive systematic desensitization by using a hierarchy of fear that is created according to her phobia. This is a method that is used to help reduce an individual’s phobia, making them feel relieved and calm. It involves ranking their fear in the hierarchy from least fearful to most fearful. According to Jane’s phobia, her least fearful behaviour would be thinking about a dark room and her most fearful behaviour would be walking inside a dark room. Throughout this hierarchy, it may take Jane a long time for her fear to go away, depending on how strong her phobia is. It would also take...

...D2 - Evaluate the risks involved in the installation or upgrade of software and explain how the risks could be minimised. What are the potential risks involved throughout software upgrades and installation? One of the various risks that may occur in the installation process is the risk of incompatibility. Prior to installation or upgrading, it is vital to ensure that the computer system meets the requirements to install and use the software. As software is developed and released, the capabilities of the computer system must be improved to meet these needs. If software is installed onto a computer system that does not meet the requirements, it poses a risk of being unable to fully installed and become faulty. This may also lead to instability and cause conflicts and system errors due to the incompatibility of the software and the system. Instability is another risk that can occur in the installation process. Unstable applications can result in bugs and errors in the computer system, causing applications to become unresponsive and frequently freeze and crash. In addition to this, software acquired through unreliable third party sources may also be faulty and may result in instability and system errors. Third party sources may also provide malicious software, posing a risk for the system to be infected with malware which can lead onto damaging the system. Instability can be a minor risk that can be resolved by uninstalling the software and acquiring software through legal and...
