Once this meeting is booked and accepted by all parties, I make my own agenda or write up an agenda provided by my director in preparation for the up and coming meeting, then at the meeting I have the topics that need to be covered. This makes my minute taking much easier also; I take accurate minutes and make sure they are typed up as soon as I am able to. These minutes are the circulated to those who attended and those who were unable to attend, each are asked to read and sign once they are happy with the content. I then file these on our company zdrive which is dated and timed encase we ever need to retrieve them. 1.2 I was recently involved in performance supervision, this had to be dealt with in a tactful way, the supervision was
My supervisions are taken on shift, my manager will watch how I work, how I integrate with the team of staff and with the clients in the care home and put forward any ideas on what I could do differently but also explain what I am doing well. It will also involve making sure that I fill in all the necessary paperwork such as care plans and accident forms and follow the appropriate policies. They are not formal and it feels easy during these times to ask for advise and to be supported when learning new things within the care home. The appraisals are more formal, myself and the manager will sit down and discuss everything about the job, anything from day to day tasks to staff grievances. The positive of this is that if there is anything I am unsure of I can speak in confidence and not feel embarrassed that I do not know how to do something in front of the care home clients and/or their families.
When I arrived to work at 8:00 in the morning, I attended handover from the previous shifts work in which they are passing information about what had happened during their shift. We are doing this every end of the shift, so that everyone is updated on what is happening with our residents. Handover is one way to promote effective communication, it really helped us. It is very important in our daily living, it is a necessity as we use it to promote and spread information/ideas. I am practicing effective communication to share my opinion, knowledge, feelings and even my emotions and most especially to build and maintain a good relationship with my colleague, our residents, their relatives, and other healthcare professionals.
In my role I will need to form relationship with wide range of people including People who use the service Family and friends of the individual I support Managers Colleagues from my organisation Colleagues from other organisation Communicating with other staff members ensures effective team working and continuity of care. It also ensures any health and safety issues are recognised and reported. All carers attend hand over at the beginning of each shift and also complete communication books after attending an individual, thereby keeping other staff informed and aware of current situations within the workplace. 2.2 Explain how communication affects relationships in adult social care setting.

The aim of first aid is to preserve life and to reduce the effects of injury or illness suffered at work. The Regulations place a duty upon all employers to assess the first aid requirements within their workplace. It is important to hold this skill in a health and social care setting because if someone is choking etc. then you must put these skills into use and keep them alive until the paramedic arrives, these few moments are vital. It is important that the first aiders are fully trained and have the skills required, there are a number of courses that offer this kind of training.
Spatelli Pizzeria Case: Payroll Section Corporate Governance: With us gaining possession of the Spatelli Pizzeria we mean to implement a different ambiance of the work place. Instead of just paying our bills every month we are going to look into and provide ethical and disciplined reasoning in every business decision in order to ensure the best interest of the company. We move to cultivate and establish the integrity of the business environment through honest accountability and fairness to all employees and vendors. Just as we expect each other to follow a Code of Conduct to ensure the compliance of company guidelines and procedures, we expect that of all our employees as well-so that together we can achieve a superior company. If we can show our employees what we want them to do by doing it ourselves, they will be able to open up to those ideas and more.
