Unit 217 Provide support for journeys 1 Understand factors to consider when planning support for journeys 1.1 Describe different aspects and factors to consider when planning a journey Aspects and factors to consider when planning journeys include anything that the Service User may need, how the journey is going to develop, the outcome of the journey, and any health and safety factors that may be relevant to the journey. You can agree with the client, the level and type of support needed by listening to what the client wants and providing information on the various travel routes, whilst supporting them in the use of various items by explaining the uses of those items,(computers, maps, timetables). I would support the individual to develop a plan that promotes active participation by getting the client to plan any journeys that they wish to make and also making clear to them any organisational policies that they may have to take into consideration. 1.2 Describe different risks that may arise and ways to minimise these Some risks that may develop whilst on a journey include accidents that may happen, people taking ill and people losing sense of direction in large crowds. Ways to minimise these include taking first aid kits with you, keeping track of significant landmarks and taking mobile phones and/or being aware of payphone locations, as well as pre-planning the journey.

Unit 217 1 Describe different aspects and factors to consider when planning a journey. Firstly you must think of any needs and/or requirements that need to be met such as if your service user needs wheelchair access, you must then think of how the journey could develop, whether you may need to change your plans, do you have a backup plan?, you must also plan the outcome of the journey and what you ultimately want the outcome to be, you must then look into relevant health and safety factors that occur or need to be followed during your journey such as busy roads, and how you are going to reduce the risk whilst on your journey. 2 Describe different risks that may arise and ways to minimise them Some risks that could arise while out on a journey include things such as being separated in a large crowd, service users or yourself becoming ill, accidents such as tripping or getting a cut. Ways these could be minimised include such things as making sure you have your mobile phone on you at all times so that you can contact the service user, their family, the emergency services and your line manager. Taking a travel first aid kit with you is a great way to deal with accidents if they do occur and require immediate treatment, keeping a map of where you are or keeping sight of landmarks can also help, you can also set a meeting point so that if you get separated you can meet up easily.
2.2 A risk assessment should be read and used as it will make you aware of any potential risks or hazards and so be able to work in a safe environment. 2.3all potential health and safety risks should be reported to the office and your line manager as soon as possible and notes made to make others aware. 2.4 Risk assessments can help address dilemmas by making people aware of the risks, making people aware
It also helps agencies to work together in the future to try and prevent similar things happening again. A report will be written and made public so that people know what has been recommended. The DCSF sets out procedures that should be followed when reviewing a serious case. The duty that a setting has to safeguard its children, staff, parent’s/ carers and support its community in their inspection processes is paramount, this means that recommendations within serious case reviews offer the opportunity to examine current practice, what's happening and how it happens, within the setting and externally with other organisations/agencies/service providers. Through this, practitioners can pass on information via their meeting agendas or promotion of their open door policy for raising concerns about practice or that anyone feels has the potential to contribute to or cause children's vulnerability.
HSC41: Use and Develop Methods and Systems to communicate, Record and Report. Communication is an integral part of care therefore its effectiveness to ensure that care is delivered as required and problems dealt with accordingly. It is about how people respond to each other in many different ways, thus it is an important requirement as a Team Leader that I understand and use good communication skills in order to develop relationship with individuals, relative, other professionals and staff. I provide active support by adhering to the policies and procedure for information sharing regarding individuals as stipulated by the organisation. For example, prior to admission, an assessment of the individual’s relevant long term social and medical history is carried out and documented, and all staff members have access to these records.
The next step is to identify risks that will need to be managed during course of the job. You also have to assign responsibilities for health and safety concerns. These individuals will be responsible for communication between the different parties, and consulting with the workforce. They will also handle design changes and assist in selecting sub-contractors. Other responsibilities included site security, onsite training, health facility arrangements, site rules, and fire and evacuation plans.
If people feel you are approachable then they will not hesitate to seek any clarification they may require on any communication and this in itself supports effective communication. Other means of supporting communication can be the utilisation of various forms and or arranging regular meetings (and minutes) with the concerned persons. Action Plans can sometimes be drawn up showing target completion dates and/or outcomes against each point being communicated. 1.3 Analyse the barriers and challenges to communication within own job role. There are numerous barriers and challenges that I have to consider when communicating with others.
Credit value: 10 1 Developing effective communication in health and social care This unit is designed to help you develop your communication skills. You will explore ways of overcoming barriers to communication and develop your own skills in one-to-one and group interactions. In order to work with people you must be good at communicating with them. Effective communication requires advanced practical skills in much the same way as driving a car does. Driving a car involves responding to changes in the road ahead, as well as responding to other road users.
