Reflecting on activities from work and also other places is a great way to develop the things that you know, and also discover what you don’t know, allowing you to set your mind on ways to develop your knowledge and fill in any gaps in your knowledge. Learning to properly reflect on what has happened is in the past is one of the most valuable personal skills, and it’s a way that an individual can develop themselves without the need for textbooks and training, merely learning not to repeat mistakes you’ve made, and recognizing actions as mistakes in the first place goes a long way to making a person more efficient at their job role.

There are a number of differing but interlinking aspects to teaching and training in the lifelong learning sector; Health and Safety, Equality and Diversity, Legislation and Approved Codes of Practice to summarise some key aspects that need to considered when working with Learners. Health and Safety is of paramount importance and it is the duty of the Teacher or Trainer to inform the learners of the Health and safety issues and procedures specific to the training environment (the training centre or place of work where training is being delivered) such issues being: Fire procedures, first aid provisions, PPE requirements etc. Also the health and safety legislation that will be appropriate to the field they are training in; such as The Health and Safety at Work Act, L.O.L.E.R (Lifting Operations Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998, P.U.W.E.R. (Provision of Work Equipment Regulations) There are also other Laws, Codes of Practice or Regulatory Requirements for example in Plant Operator Training a Trainer must make sure that what Learners are taught is based on the current ACOP (Approved Code of Practice), Current and relevant legislation in their area of work and also their responsibilities under applicable current legislation and regulations Equality and Diversity legislation now impacts on all of us in our daily lives including the workplace and places of education and training.

An educator should constantly be revising lesson plans and expanding their own knowledge in order to deliver an optimal learning experience for the students. Incorporating guidelines to educate students without bias into a code of ethics ensures that students receive equal treatment in the classroom. An educator’s primary concern should be the physical and mental well being of the student. This being said, it is the responsibility of the educator to be vigilant of a student’s physical and emotional behavior while in the classroom. Child abuse is a dilemma that may be encountered when working as a professional educator in the school system.
In my role as tutor in Health and Social Care it is my responsibility to share knowledge to the learners I am responsible for, to supply information in a manner appropriate to the level of understanding of each individual within the group. It is my responsibility to ensure that my learners absorb the information I am sharing with them and that the manner in which I share is clear and concise. Where a learner shows signs of requiring learning support, I will refer to appropriate agencies within the sector to obtain additional support to meet the needs of the individual. My role involves ensuring my learners are aware of and understand current legislation relating to the subject and where practical evidence is required that my learners have been involved in or have knowledge and understanding of how legislation governs their individual practices. It is essential that as tutor I follow the guidelines as set out in the following acts:- • Sex Discrimination act (1975) • Protection of children act (1999) • Equality act (2006) • Disability act (2005) • Race relations act (1976) • Data protection act (1998) When delivering a tutorial session I take the following into consideration:- • The classroom layout – some learners benefit from being in close proximity of their tutor, whilst others absorb information more by being seated away from others, my preferred classroom layout is horseshoe style with appropriate seating being used as this encourages an open learning experience.
