...causes, effects and strategies relating to challenging behaviours in settings. It will incorporate the discussion on available legislation that attempts to deal with challenging behaviour in settings such as work based settings. It will further analyse behaviour and its impact on the individual of a variety of special needs and challenging behaviours and will look at the positive support planning available that attempts to address challenging behaviour. According to Emerson et al (2011), “challenging behaviour is an umbrella term used to describe any behaviour that puts the person and those around them at risk”. Examples of challenging behaviour are aggression, self-injuries behaviour, property destruction, oppositional behaviour, stereotyped behaviours, socially inappropriate behaviour, and withdrawn behaviour. Human behaviour happens for a reason and understanding its causes is key to managing certain behaviours. Different reasons can be attributed to the causes of some challenging behaviours and these can be driven by different reasons such as seeking social attention, an attempt to seek advantage and get something, an attempt to escape from something like a trauma and some can arise from an enjoyment of certain sensory activities. As has been described that the causes vary depending on individuals, it should also be borne in mind that behaviour can have a harmful effect on the lives of both the individuals behaving in a challenging way, and others who live and work around...

...CHALLENGING BEHAVIOUR / POSITIVE CHILD GUIDANCE It is important to remember that almost all young children display stages of “inappropriate” or challenging behaviours such as biting, tantrums, clinging or hitting at various times in their development. These behaviours are usually short-lived and typically improve with guidance and age. There are some children, however, whose challenging behaviours may increase and result in injury to self or others, cause damage to property, interfere with acquiring new skills and/or social isolation. This report investigates the possible causes for challenging behaviors (focusing primarily on tantrums and biting) in infants, toddlers and young children and positive child guidance strategies that are important as the basis for intervention and prevention. It is important to intervene in such a way that appropriate, pro-social behaviors are taught, modeled, and reinforced to ensure lifelong success.

...Positive Behavioural Support has been influenced by: • Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) • Social Role Valorisation (SRV) ABA is a scientific process of examining what causes and maintains behaviour, in order to bring about positive change. SRV promotes valued social roles for individuals who are socially disadvantaged, to help them get some of the good things in life. 1.2 Summarise current legislation and policy guidance relating to Positive Behavioural Support The current legislation relating to Positive Behavioural Support is titled - the Positive Behaviour Support Policy – Safe management of challenging behaviour in children and young people with learning disabilities and autism. The broad aims of the policy are: • the prevention of challenging behaviours; • that, where used, restrictive physical interventions promote the best interests of children and young people; • that all risks associated with the use of restrictive physical interventions are continuously assessed; • to maintain the safety and dignity of children, young people and staff; • that managers and employers discharge their responsibilities effectively; • to highlight the training needs of staff in the use of restrictive physical interventions. 2.1 Define the term ‘challenging behaviour’ Behaviour of such intensity, frequency or duration that the physical safety of the person or others is placed in serious jeopardy or behaviour which is likely to seriously limit or deny access to the use...

...boundaries. What are the implications of this for users and workers in health and social care? Within health and social care crossing normal boundaries may sometimes be required. Firstly, this essay will explore some common dilemmas and difficulties within care settings, and then consider how this can lead to poor-quality and unsafe practice. “Often poor practice occurs in care situations that are challenging to the care worker, for example giving intimate care or dealing with challenging behaviour,” (unit 17, pp. 11-54). Secondly, using case studies I will define and compare the implications for both workers and service users, thus allowing for the evaluation of ways in which intimate care can be provided to promote wellbeing, making people feel comfortable and safe. Finally the importance of guidelines, protocols and accountability are discussed, therefore creating good practice and safeguarding both the worker and service user. Providing personal and intimate care often involves direct physical touch and nakedness and sometimes gives rise to emotional closeness. These are also characteristics of sexual relationships, so it is not surprising that the boundaries between care and sex become blurred (Twigg, 2006). Personal Care can be merely assisting to brush someone’s teeth or assisting with feeding; whereas intimate care is events that would usually be done in private without anyone else present. Social boundaries may vary with each individual, things such as gender, class...

Research has also shown that people who are homeless or living in emergency accommodation suffer greater levels of ill health than the general population (Simon Communities 2011). Homeless population has a higher rate of diverse health problems, including drug and alcohol misuse, depression, suicide, epilepsy and respiratory issues among others. Improving the physical and mental health of homeless people connects with the government’s policies, budgets and strategies including: - The Department of Health and Children (2006) report on Mental Health Policy, A Vision for Change, states clearly “mental health services should adopt practices to help prevent service...

...D1 M2- compare two approaches to health and social care. Chose two different approaches and compare each theory to a health care setting and also a social care setting explain how it works in health care compared to social care. Example of behaviourist in health and social care – classical conditioning can be used in a hospital to help with an individuals fear by creating a hierarchy of fears starting with their least fear to the most feared. Whereas in a social care setting such as a school or nursery a teacher can classical condition children into tidying up by using an instrument. However Operant condition may not work as efficiently due to an individual having a behavioural condition such as ADHD Example of social learning in health and social care- using role models in health and social care can help to influence an individuals behaviour such as in a health centre a celebrity can talk about health conditions and because they have a high status the public would be more influenced whereas in a school a individual would be able to use local initiatives such as change for life along with getting a celebrity chief in to talk about the importance of healthy eating. Example of Psychodynamic in social care- A teacher would be able to see that an individuals ID is controlling their behaviour. They would then go and talk to the child’s parents that their child’s ID (unconscious) controls the individuals challenging behaviour. They would then set some rules for...

...Intellectual and emotional impoverished early years impair learning and social functioning over an individual’s entire life. Furthermore, influences such as distribution of economic and social resources result in the variation of health status in a community, among groups and individuals differently. This paper will further examine the critical factors affecting childhood development and the run-on issues that follow suit such as health deficits, juvenile delinquency, attachment issues and how community involvement and an increased sense of self-worth are potential protective factors for health. We then discuss how community immersion will increase standard of living and be a preventative and reconcile most health deficits that otherwise would...

Describe Discriminatory Practise in Health and Social Care. Describe the Potential Effects of Discriminatory Practice on Those Who Use Health or Social Care Services. Assess the Effects on Those Using the Service of Three Discriminatory Practices in Health and Social Care Settings. Equality: - The term equality according to Dictionary.com (2015) “Is the state or quality of being equal; correspondence in quantity, degree, value, rank and or ability” however I believe that this definition can establish misconception on the view of an individual, and so the more realistic concept behind ‘Equality’ in regards to the health and social industry; is for all individuals to be provided with equal opportunities to access of the concerning services, and for these users to be treated fairly (not equally) accordingly to the approaches used to meet their individual needs. Diversity: - Is a termed used to describe the promotion and celebrating of differences which an individual may have on the aspects of your own identity as well as others. Rights: - "They are the legal entitlements which we are all privileged to own, with the aim of allowing equal opportunities for all citizens in certain aspects of an individuals' life.

This unit aims to explain the reasons people do the things they do when it comes to health and wellbeing. The mind and the body are interlinked, e.g. stress caused by daily hassles or lifestyle can have a detrimental effect on the body’s immune system and can lead to serious illness. Psychologists have given us many ways to explain human behaviour and this unit is designed to enable learners to apply what they have learnt to their own practice; from helping people overcome emotional problems to dealing with challenging behaviours. The knowledge and understanding gained throughout the unit will benefit all those who work with others, be it people who use services, their friends and family, and other professionals. A wide range of perspectives is covered which can then be applied to many different health and social care settings. The behaviourists and social learning theorists can help to explain how health related behaviours are learnt as well as ways to teach new behaviours to people who use services. The humanists, on the other hand, provide us with a set of guidelines for working with...

...Raveena Bhogal 68533 0011 Justify ways of overcoming difficulties that may arise when implementing anti-discriminatory practices in health and social care settings. Anti-discrimination is promoted when dealing with conflict as it stops individuals from discriminating against others. Dealing with conflict correctly is needed in health and social care settings to promote anti-discriminatory behaviour as aggression and tension can build up between the service users or staff. It is important for a health and social care professional to be trained to deal with conflict correctly so that the service users don’t become stressed or feel unvalued. If the conflict is dealt with professionally and positively then discrimination will not take place, therefore this promotes anti-discrimination by ensuring that no individuals feel discriminated against. All of the service users or staff members are treated equally, they are treated the way they want and need to be. On the other hand, difficulties may arise if the conflict is not dealt with in the correct manner. If a member of staff was to treat one service user better than another, then this will cause a larger conflict and will make the situation become very negative. For example, if a two service users wanted to watch two different TV programs that were showing at the same time then a member of staff should be trained to deal with this type of situation. The professional should treat the service users equally; they should say to the...
