The skins' function is to act as a protective barrier that can sometimes encounter hostile environments. The skin is also vital maintaining the proper body temperature in order to function well. It is very complex as it gathers sensory information from the environment, and plays an important role in the immune system protecting us from disease. There is a 3 layer structure of the skin; the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue.

...Learner’s name: Paulina Dabrowska Level 3 NVQ Diploma Hospitality Supervision and Leadership. KEY SKILLS LEVEL 2 - RENTING A HOUSE A purpose of this project is to compare the cost of renting 2 bedroom or 3 bedroom property. Before choosing dream accommodation I have to set some basic criteria. The most important factors for me is localization and price. My clue in search is to save money on transport by cycling, so localization as it was mentioned above is crucial. However I’m able to spend more money for renting a property in zone 1, what is naturally much more expensive than in areas further from central London. The issue is well explained on website www.moving2london.com “ The closer you are to the centre of London, the more you are going to have to pay for rent. Simple. The closer you are to the centre of London, the less you are going to have to pay for public transport (if you work in the city centre too). Makes sense as well. BUT just because you pay less rent for a similar type of room in zone 4 compared to zone 1 does NOT mean you will necessarily be paying less per week if you consider public transport costs as well. Costs for travel cards as you go further from zone 1 increase exponentially, and sometimes the money you save on rent by moving to an outer zone may not actually save you much at all over all if you work in zone 1, as so many Londoners do. “ [?] In next steps I will choose which localization...

...NVQ level 3 unit 12 Outcome 1 1.1 a) diversity is the differences between people based on culture, ethnic origin, nationality, gender, race, religion, beliefs, age, ability, sexual orientation etc. b) equality is giving everyone equal opportunities and treating everyone fairly but not the same. c) inclusion is including everyone in the activity and not leaving anyone out. d) discrimination is being prejudice about certain factors of someone's life such as gender, sexual orientation, race etc. This means that people use these factors against individuals so that they do not get the job they applied for or are treated poorly etc. 1.2 The potential effects of discrimination include low self-esteem, low confidence etc. Individuals who are discriminated against may find it extremely difficult to find a job, this in turn means they lose everything as they cannot afford to pay the bills and this could then lead to mental illness. Discrimination can also lead to conflicts. These may be between the colleagues, the employer and employees or the staff from the company and the clients. These conflicts may be minor but they can become very distressing. There are a fair few types of discrimination. Some of these are the following: - direct - indirect - institutional - stereotyping and labelling - physical and verbal abuse And so on. These behaviours can lead to the delay in the development of individuals and low self-esteem. 1.3 It is important to have an inclusive practice...

Task 3.2 In order to encourage the management of identified risks, policies, procedures and guidelines have been issued by government. Some of these include Mental Health Act 1983 amended 2007, Data Protection Act 1998, Health and Social Care Act 2012 and Equality Act 2010. The Health and Social Care Act 2012 emphasises on promoting the actual choices of individuals, not just limiting to the options given in a pre-determined list and also emphasising on reducing the cost of administrative of NHS. The objective of Government is to minimize the level of risk by encouraging patients’ choice. In order to set standards and monitor the care quality of health care organizations the roles of Care Quality Commissions have been strengthened. Despite all the precaution in setting standards to monitor quality care services, users are still under the risk of abuse, harm and negligence. In a work place, policies are issued in order to identify potential risks and how to asses and manage these risks in health and social care settings. In addition, there are also opportunities regarding procedure policies where staff members are encouraged to complain about any observed abuse or risk to service users. There is also an incident policy which states that any risk to individuals must be documented. But...

...Unit 24 Store and Retrieve Information AC1.1 Describe systems and procedures for storing and retrieving information AC1.2 Outline legal and organisational requirements for information security All information stored in an organisation has to adhere to the organisations and legal requirements for information security. It is important that information is stored safely so that it cannot be accessed by unauthorised individuals. This prevents disclosure, destruction and modification. The requirements are outlined in our Information Security Policy. In my workplace we handle a large amount of confidential information about residents who live in our local authority. If this information is electronic we are required to lock our computers whenever we leave our desks. If the information is physical it should be locked away in the filing cabinets, nothing should be left on our desks. If the information gets into the wrong hands it can lead to serious safeguarding issues as some of the information we have contains addresses and details regarding looked after children. It can also be damaging to the council's reputation leading to possible legal action. When we pass information to other local authorities or schools, we must follow procedures to protect the data. We password protect any documents that are being emailed. We then ring the recipient to give them the password. It is extremely important to only pass the information to people who have the right to access it. AC1.3 Explain...

They may need a family member present or someone to help them understand or interpret information being given to them. Other factors to consider are the type, content, the service user’s response to what is communicated. The communication might be a sensitive, formal or non-formal type which means confidentiality has to be considered. 3.1.
