Individuals with additional needs may need provision from a number of services, requiring organisations to work in partnership to assess needs and provide support. Learners will explore additional needs which may be experienced by individuals, considering the effects that their needs may have on their wellbeing, rights and access.

This unit covers communication issues which learners may themselves have experienced, such as, urgently seeking information only to find that they are unable to understand what they have been given because it is full of jargon and technical terms, or struggling to explain what they need or want, finding it hard to choose words to make the person they are speaking to understand. They will learn that this could be how a person seeking support or information from a worker in one of the four sectors of children and young people’s workforce, health, community justice and adult social care could feel if the worker they were dealing with was not able to communicate effectively with them. Learners will also consider why and how organisations in the four sectors share information and work together to support and help individuals and communities.

This isn’t the only condition that causes the service user to be immobile. Some service users may have an illness or condition, which means that they can’t move from a bed to a chair because the illness that they have prevents them from moving. The service user may not have an illness; they may have been in an accident that has caused them to have lack of mobility. If the service user lacks mobility, it is hard for them to look after themselves because they can’t move around and do the everyday things that need to be done. They would need to be helped all the time.

How Human Service Professionals Help With Peoples Needs Maria Krem There are many populations served in the human services profession with a variety of needs. For instance, the professionals can work with foster care children, families, adolescents, the aging, the mentally ill, the homeless, the medically ill, and substance abusers. All of these groups share the same needs, which is support, compassion and guidance from a trained professional. Human service agencies come into the picture when people find themselves confronting barriers to getting their needs met and their own resources for overcoming these obstacles are insufficient. Some of these barriers include: Lack of family or supportive family, lack of friends, mental illnesses, poverty, Social exclusion, trauma, Lack of education, Lack of employment skills, unemployment, and physical and or intellectual disabilities.

This community would be caring, nurturing and supporting individuals, and their families. This is accomplished by promoting an effective human services delivery system. An effective human services delivery system recognizes opportunities and creates strategies practical and preventive in their tactics to the needs of human services then and in the future. It will focus on the needs of the individuals who make up the community.
