It is important to outline good practices in terms of respecting and treating equally people with learning disabilities. Department of Health claimed it is important ensure that each and every health care program for learning disability group must: • Involve them in developing the strategic consultation and plan on main policy issues • Producing materials in available formats • Advising the business and public sector to involve and communicate with people with learning disability The Department of Health also ensure to work with the commission and study the way forward for advocacy for all disabled people. Thus because of national and international changes taking place in services for people with learning disabilities has led to change the attitude of the society towards the issue, major policy are reviewed at government level along with substantial implications for future provision for health care services.

Moreover, in spite of this reason, Gardner (2010) claims that disability has be neglected from the debate of mainstream social policy for over longer time period. As argued by Wong, (2011), in UK where there is a presence of provision for disabled people, it is usually observed to be paternalistic. It is necessary to treat the disable people as welfare service clients, wanting to be provided
Monitoring a health and social care team’s performance is essential so that any threats to its service delivery, are identified early and corrective actions taken. There are two dimensions of team functioning: the tasks the team are required to do, and the social climate that impacts on how they operate. The social climate will determine how team members cope with diversity of opinions, accept difference and resolve conflict.

Communication is an essential part of daily life for everyone but for people who have learning difficulties or impairments like those in Lennox Castle it is especially important. This is why it is imperative all workers in health and social care sector ‘support people in having a voice and being heard' (K101, Unit 4 p 183), this is one of the five principles of care implanted in the care sector. Care workers should encourage service users to speak out which will empower them to create their own individuality or identity which in turn will give them a better quality of life; this is a lot different to the way people with learning difficulties w...

Case Management is a discipline within the Long Term Care system. Case managers help and give guidance in the planning process of developing a care plan for individuals with different diagnoses. The case manager assesses an individual, plans the care, facilitates communication between all members of the team, coordinates appropriate care, evaluates the individual, and acts as an advocate for proper communication between the patient, family members, and the interdisciplinary team (Marion et al., 2010). Case managers are individuals who have specialized in a field within the human and health services, receiving higher education, a license or certification. This education allows case managers to be able to perform assessments on their own, within
D1: I have decided to look at a 6 year old going through bereavement. Bereavement means to lose an individual very close to you. When children go through bereavement they are most likely to feel sad and upset about the person’s death. Children at a young age may not understand when a family member dies. Children may not understand bereavement. For example a 6 year old’s father been in a car crash and has died from that incident. Death is unpredictable and children can’t be prepared for a death of a family member as no one knows when someone is going to die or not. Unfortunately every child can experience bereavement even when a pet dies. It is important that we are aware that effects on the child so we can support them in the aftermath.
What does ‘care’ mean? Care is the provision of what is necessary for your health, welfare and protection of someone or something. However when you talk about ‘care’ in a care practice the term changes and becomes more about enabling people to meet all their needs which would refer to their social, physical, emotional, cognitive and cultural needs. The individual is central to the meaning of care in this context.
In the context of government policies, there have been multiple developments in policies in UK law and legislation with regards to inclusive policies. Recently, in the years of 2010, “equality law” was put into effect. UK policies with respects to inclusive practice are as follows; Disability Discrimination Act enacted 1995 Education Act enacted 1996 Special Educational Needs and Disability Act enacted 2001 Disability Discrimination (Public Authorities) ( Statutory Duties) Regulations enacted 2005 Disability Discrimination Act enacted in 2005 Equality Act enacted in 2006. Disability Discrimination Act 1995 maintains that is will be an act of discrimination if a disabled person is treated in a less favourable way than a person without a disability and when such treatment is found unjustified.
This statement from the Green Party Manifesto claims that “Disability is a social phenomenon” and “While many individuals have physical or sensory impairments or learning difficulties or are living with mental health problems, it is the way society responds to these which creates disability” (2010). The aim of this paper is to consider the strength of this view. With the help of modern and contemporary sociological theory surrounding disability and health, it will look at both the medical and social models of disability with the aim to conclude whether disability is a problem that needs to be addressed by medical professionals alone or by society as a whole. The medical model defines disability as “any restriction or lack of ability (resulting from an impairment of an individual) to perform an activity in the manner or within the range considered normal for a human being, for example, to climb stairs or walk to the shops (WHO 1981).... ...
To promote inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities in both education (including primary and post primary) and employment the government has introduced several new laws and released further plans of how they intend to promote even further inclusion. Back in July 2017 the minister for disabilities, Finian McGrath T.D. released the National Disability Inclusion Strategy 2017 – 2021 (national disability inclusion , n.d.) this guide shows just how the government planned to improve the lives of people not only with intellectual disabilities but any type of disability. Some of the plans includes the disability act of 2005, The Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Act 2004, The Citizens Information Act 2007, the employment
Healthcare professionals lack experience and education on how to work with hospitalized patients with intellectual disabilities (reference). Admittance into the hospital can put a lot of stress on individuals with ID as well as their caregivers, and the healthcare professionals involved. Balancing the needs of individuals with intellectual disabilities is a challenge for many professionals throughout the hospital due to multiple factors have produced years of social oppression, institutional discrimination, and attitudinal barriers. Communication is the key to maintaining a seamless flow between health care professionals and their special need patients. By advocating for a reform in training of health care professions, this would help with increasing the quality of services provided for those with intellectual
Dating back to the 1800s and earlier, society’s perspectives of people with disabilities were misunderstood. This “lack of understanding” consequently led to ridicule, rejection, labelling and stigmatisation of not only people with disabilities but people who were different to the ‘norm’ of society (Duke, 2009, p. 3). Over the years there has been a significant shift in social attitude, particularly in how students with disabilities should be educated. These social attitudes of the past and the contemporary attitudes of society today have ultimately steered the development of a more inclusive society. According to Konza (2008) ‘nominalisation’ is a significant factor to the changing attitudes of society. Nominalisation encompasses the notion that people with disabilities are entitled to “...
People with disabilities often face societal barriers and disability evokes negative perceptions and discrimination in society. As a result of the stigma associated with disability, persons with disabilities are generally excluded from education, employment, and community life, which deprives them of opportunities essential to their social development, health and well-being (Stefan). It is such barriers and discrimination that actually set people apart from society, in many cases making them a burden to the community. The ideas and concepts of equality and full participation for persons with disabilities have been developed very far on paper, but not in reality (Wallace). The government can make numerous laws against discrimination, but this does not change the way that people with disabilities are judged in society.
