Maslow felt that for individuals to be able to become “self-actualising” (Walmsley, J. K101 Bock 1, Unit 3, pg 131) they needed to have their basic needs met first before they can look at social inclusion. Through this essay I will be looking at how advocacy and support can support individuals to have their basic needs met and hopefully progress to leading more fulfilling lives. I have used case studies from the Sussex Travellers Women’s Health Project, The Thornhill Project and Simon to look at meanings of social exclusion and how care work that offers advocacy and outreach services can have positives and negatives and how they may not always succeed. (155) There are 3 main circumstances that can cause people to be socially excluded; finance social and unemployment. Lack of finance can cause families to live in poverty, which can then have adverse effects on health, life opportunities, employment, diet and wellbeing, which in turn can lead to more isolation.
It is imperative for case managers to use intervention practices that will prevent risks, reduce the negative behavior, and promote productivity and success. Intervention practices are included in case management plans because they serve as actions to improve life situations. The concept with helping clients in the criminal justice is complex because each person is different and unique, so therefore, the treatment and services have to be different to promote success. In order for clients to change their behavior, they must change their way of thinking. References Freeman, D. W. 2001.
These may be misunderstandings to do with ineffective communication or it may have to do with differences in cross-cultural communication. If you sense a conflict brewing, do not allow it to fester, resolve it early. Be direct and courteous. Develop a plan of action to address the problem with your co-worker and then work together toward resolving it. Healthcare settings need to develop a clear written workplace policy stating that harassment and discrimination are not tolerated and establish a process for hearing complaints while maintaining confidentially by appointing an appropriate ‘Contact Officer’ to deal with complaints.
If professionals have negative thoughts about their service users, it will affect the way they treat and care for them, This will not promote an anti discriminatory practice because the service user is being treated differently due to the service providers own opinions and views. Past events can affect anti-discriminatory practice being put in place; an example of this could be that if the service provider has experienced something awful in their caring situation of a certain ethnic background, there are chances of the service provider failing to provide an active and caring service to the user. Health and well being can also influence the way the service providers provide care for the service users. An example of this could be that if the patient is gay and the service provider puts their health documents at the bottom because they don’t want to treat a gay person. This will not promote an anti discriminatory practice because the service provider is failing to treat the person because of their sexual orientation.
The medical model puts the point forward that disabled people shouldn’t cause inconvenience for others and should help themselves and try harder and this may make them feel they cannot partake in social activities. The medical approach affects children in settings as well for example; a child who has a hearing impairment not being allowed to move to the front of the class to hear clearly. This will affect the child’s learning as well as their esteem knowing they are being ignored and knowing their needs aren’t being considered. On the other hand, the social model is more positive and has a more inclusive approach and says thingsneed to be adapted to meet the requirements of the impairment acknowledging disabled people’s rights.There are also two main groups in the social model. They
Whereas by definition, paternalism restricts a person’s right to autonomy, and takes another person’s autonomous right away and makes decision on their behalf, even if it is contrary to the wishes of the patient (Beauchamp and Childress 2001). Paternalism with Mrs Jones was not the case, yet with regards to safeguarding her from further harm justice, beneficence and non-malfeasance would have been insuring long term interest. To be deemed competent professionals work within trust guidelines and trust protocols and must treat patients fairly, without discriminating against them; ensuring that the patient is able to make autonomous decisions regarding their own care (NMC
Understand ways how to reduce the likelihood of abuse We have to encourage more people to speak up if they feel abuse is taking or has taken place and this will reduce the likelihood of abuse taking place or repeating. The likelihood of abuse can be reduced by: * Working with person-centred values - include the individuality of the person, the rights of the individual, the individual’s choice, the individual’s privacy, the individual’s independence, the individual’s dignity and the individual being respected. If an individual is considered to have a say in what he or she wants and is at the centre of any decision, it will be more unlikely that there is abuse. The individual will know what suits him or her and will not get so frustrated.
Under the medical model, these impairments or differences should be 'fixed' or changed by medical and other treatments, even when the impairment or difference does not cause pain or illness. The medical model looks at what is 'wrong' with the person, not what the person needs. It creates low expectations and leads to people losing independence, choice and control in their own lives. 1.2 Describe the social model of disability The social model of disability says that disability is caused by the way society is organised, rather than by a person’s impairment or difference. It looks at ways of removing barriers that restrict life choices for disabled people.
This protects individuals from discrimination. It promotes anti-discrimination practice simply because it is an act stating that discrimination is illegal. It is important that care workers promote equality, diversity, and that they respect of service users and meet the individuals needs to patients ect. And they do not let something like sexuality chance the professional’s relationships between pro and client. Codes of practice- nursing and midwifery (how this service promotes anti-discriminatory practice).
The provider should repeat what the patient said if they did not clearly understand what was said. The provider should also take accountability for their lack of understanding as well. Lastly, the provider should use common language to ask different questions and not overuse medical terminology not understood by the patient. The provider creates a more
