b) Individuals using the service and their carers Effective communication is vital between carers and the residents. This enables you to build a relationship with the people you care for and will ensure they feel safe and trust you to look after them. Communication is also needed so the residents can tell you how they are feeling and what their needs and wishes are. Aiii Identify three ways of finding out the communication and language needs of an individual. For each method, describe how effective it is at establishing the needs of the individual.
This essay will focus on one of the K101 five key principles of care practice “Support people in having a voice and being heard”; firstly this essay will define the statement “Support people in having a voice and being heard”, secondly I will then explain why it is important for care workers to put this principle into practice, by using Goffman’s “Total institution” and Lennox Castle hospital as comparison and former patient Margaret Scully, (K101 block 2, unit 7), as examples of when voices go unheard and unsupported, then lastly this essay will show how carers can empower service users to have a voice, using research from Howard Mitchell and Lennox Castle. I would define “Support people in having a voice and being heard” as the carer empowering the individual to express their needs and wishes in improving their quality of life and wellbeing. To ensure the individual are being supported, the carer must learn to develop a good supportive relationship with the individual, allowing them to voice their choices and opinions without prejudices, (K101, Unit 4 pg. 184), however in contrast Lennox castle was on the opposite side of the spectrum, the “inmates” voices’ remained unheard for many years, “ …the philosophy of care was much about control, discipline and segregation… the individuals were not treated as individuals or members of wider society, or that they had any choice about their lives.”(K101, DVD Unit 7, Activity 3). Lennox castle was built in the 1920s and took it first “ Inmate” in 1936, the hospital was set up to care for people with “mental defectives”, the patients were put in categories: “ imbeciles”, feeble minded persons” and “moral imbeciles” (Block 2 DVD, unit 7, Activity 3) and lived a very ridged and institutional way of life.
2. Explain how communication affects relationships in the work setting? To be able to care for a child in an effective way we must have a good, strong relationship with the child, their parents / carers and other professionals that may be connected to the child. This relationship is made stronger by the way in which we communicate and how good our communication is with each other. Some ways that relationships and communication are of importance in the early years are : Sharing & Gaining Information, Settling In / Establish New Relationship’s, Supporting children’s play & learning, Transitions.
Each team member shares information about their role and can highlight any problems or positives regarding the service user * Relationship with the service user. This is a one on one relationship. You have to listen and observe while delivering care. You have conversations and ask how they are and what they need. This is the most important relationship to establish and maintain because the service user needs to be able to trust you and feel safe.
1. Identify the different reasons why people communicate (1.1.1) The main purpose for communicating is to get your point across to others. This is important in my job role so that I can gain an understanding into each individual’s life learning about their background, interests and opinions; this will allow me to give the best person centred care I can. Communication is also used to express feelings and thoughts 2. Explain how communication affects relationships in an adult social care setting (1.1.2) When working in a care setting communication is very important.
Frustration at their own inability to communicate effectively can lead to behavioural problems. •Social – Talking out loud helps children to work through ideas, feelings and frustrations. In doing this children start to empathise and see other peoples point of view, and gradually become able to think about other people’s needs and feelings. This helps children to develop socially acceptable behaviour and build their confidence. Communicating with other children or adults in social situations helps children to understand what is expected of them and to enjoy participating.
3.3 Help children and young people to understand and respect other people’s feelings and points of view. Children and young people need to learn to understand and respect the feelings, emotions and behaviours of others to help them gain an understanding about their actions and consequences. Young children might find this difficult as their understanding will not be as developed enough for them to put themselves in the position of others, but as children grow and learn they gain a greater experience of this and often older pupils will enjoy opportunities to debate and discuss different points of view in lesson time and in social situations. We often speak to them in school about thinking of the consequences of their actions and how they might have affected others. Ways in which my workplace helps young people to consider others feelings * Books, stories, magazines, literacy reading times and interaction through reading.
