Informal social care

1. Who are informal carers?

2. What does the term mean?

3. What do they do? How are you going to set this out? We are leaving it up to you - we usually tell you what to do and how to do it, so for this lesson we are just giving you the questions and leaving it up to you how you will complete this task.

Be creative! The questions in the text book are suggesting a poster - you can do just that. That’s fine but you could just write answers, produce a booklet that people could learn from (local councils do it this way), or you could imagine you are a journalist interviewing different people who deliver different kinds of informal care.

Language & Geographical barriers

The theme we have been looking at is barriers that people may face when they try to access health and social care services. This lesson looks at 2 more.

Your task for this lesson is to take on the role of the teacher

Teachers spend a lot of time producing worksheets and lessons. Your task now is to produce a worksheet that students can work through to understand language an geographical barriers.

You will need to read through pages 86 - 89. Use all the information on the pages including the ‘Did you know’ sections.

Your teacher will help with ideas, but use this checklist:

What do you want the students to know by the end of the lesson and how will you check?

What are the barriers?

How can the barriers be overcome?

Give some examples that the students can use in explaining barriers and how they can be got over (don’t use the examples in the text book - be imaginative)

What activities will you have the students doing? Questions? Posters? Presentation?

You are producing 2 worksheets. The first one is the one you give to the students to work through. The second is exactly the same BUT with the answers included.

Preparation for learning Aim A

assignment

The knowledge you need for this learning aim is an understanding of the different types of health and social care services and the barriers that can potentially prevent people accessing them.

The series of activities here are similar to those on pages 96 - 97 of the text book. They cover what you need to know for the assignment for this learning aim.

1. Simple definitions:

Give examples

2. Who are Allied Care Workers? Give examples of when you may need these kinds of services

3. There are 6 kinds of barriers potentially preventing people accessing care. All you need to do is simply list them and give an example for each on how they can prevent health care access

4. Think about foster care and residential care. What are they designed to do? Give an example for each of what may be happening in a persons’ life when they may need these services

5. Complete the 2 assessment activities on pages 96 - 97. these are the kinds of questions you will find in the assignment

These activities are preparation time.

When you have completed them we will talk through them as a class and compare our work.

RESOURCES FOR LESSON 15

Empowering & Promoting

independence

1. (MUST) When working with vulnerable people, care workers will always have 2 words at the forefront of their thinking - Empowerment & Independence

Give a definition for both

2. (MUST) think about yourself - give 3 examples of how you have empowerment and independence

3. (COULD) You can easily be confused with these 2 words and the meanings can blur into 1. to help you, think of 2 ways in which you do not feel empowered or independent (thinking about the restrictions because of your age may be a good start)

4. (MUST) Under what circumstances can a person lose their empowerment? The text book is very good for this - don’t waste your time with the internet!

5. (COULD) Now you have identified people who have lost their sense of empowerment, give examples of how they have lost it

6. (MUST) Under what circumstances can a person lose their independence?

7. (COULD) Now you have identified people who have lost their sense of independence, give examples of how they have lost it

8. (MUST) All care workers live by a CODE OF PRACTICE. For care workers, this is called ‘CARE VALUES’ - they should always put the people they care for first and give them respect (this is called a ‘PERSON CENTRED APPROACH’)

There are 7 care values - what are they?

9. (COULD) For each of the care values, give an example of how a care worker would use them in practice

10. (HAG) Care workers may not always get it right. Looking after other people can be very stressful. Give examples of how these care values could go wrong

L.A: B - Demonstrate care values & review own practice

B1 - Care Values

Every single one of us need help and support during our lives. Some of us will need it from birth, some may be involved in an accident or suffer an illness, whilst others will need it toward the end of our lives

Code of Practice? This means how you should do things

RESOURCES FOR LESSON 16

Respect for others

This is one of the BIG words in life. It means so much to the quality of our lives.

Try to remember the following saying and make it part of your life:

Until you prioritise kindness you will never lead a fulfilling life

Class discussion:

What does the word ‘respect’ mean to you? How do you show it? How does it make you feel when you know others are respecting you?

Showing respect is a big issue in social care. We have a pretty good idea about what it means. So, to get it into your heads, you are going to produce a poster about:

What respect means

How we show it

How it makes us feel (to give and receive)

AND, importantly, because this is about H&SC, how to show respect to those with mental health needs, older people & adolescents (use the information in the text book)

RESOURCES FOR LESSON 17

Maintaining Confidentiality

You are the manager of a care home for the elderly. You have employed 3 new care workers. Before they can start work with the care users (the elderly people who live there), they have to be trained on the ‘does & don’ts.’

The first training session is on confidentiality. Care worker are not allowed to talk about a care user to another care user or anybody who does not work there.

Your task is to produce an information sheet that will go on display in the staff room that reminds the care workers why confidentiality is really important in their work. You need to cover all of the following -

Why confidentiality is important

How a breach of confidentiality can harm people

The kinds of information that care workers need to keep confidential

When it is the right thing to do to tell the manager about something that you have been told confidentially

What could be the consequences to the care worker if they breach (break) the confidentiality rule?

How to keep information private and secure

What are the dangers of using social media?

A long standing tip on how to do things: 1. First important rule: do not go

straight to the internet

2. Use the information in the textbook - it will usually have all the information you need

3. When you have used all the information from the textbook, research the internet for additional information and for images that will enhance your work

RESOURCES FOR LESSON 18

Preserving dignity &

Effective communication

For this lesson we are combining 2 topics (in the textbook they are on pages 104 - 107).

We want you to prepare a presentation. It could be to an assembly of your year group, an audience made up of care workers…. You get the idea.

You need to cover the following points (you do not have to answer them question by question):

1. Dignity is important because…

2. Examples of how a person can lose their dignity

3. Examples of how to demonstrate dignity (that you are showing someone you respect their dignity)

4. Why good communication skills are important

5. Examples of good communication skills

Don’t forget - it’s up to you, but here are some suggestions:

You could deliver it as a speech (so you will need to write your points down in bullet form or write out a script)

You could do it as a power point presentation with different slides for each point

It could be a poster that you would talk to the audience about and then display around the building

You could work with a friend to produce a role play (of course, you could do it by yourself and have 2 imaginary people performing the role play). You will need to produce a script if you choose to do it this way

RESOURCES FOR LESSON 19

Safeguarding & duty of care

This is one of the most important things a care worker needs to be aware of. As a care worker, you have a responsibility to protect people you work with from abuse. A care user has a right to be protected from abuse.

1. (MUST) Why is safeguarding important?

2. (MUST) Unfortunately, there are many types of abuse. Give examples of 5 and describe how this kind of abuse can happen

3. (MUST) You now need to imagine that you are a care worker. Give examples of signs that you may identify indicating that abuse may be taking place

4. (MUST) as a care worker, you strongly suspect that abuse is taking place. What should you do?

5. (SHOULD) Complete the activity on page 109

6. (COULD) Look at ‘check my learning’ on page 109. What safeguarding measures would a care home need to have in place for a resident suffering from dementia? This will require you to do an internet search; you could start by doing a search for a dementia care home in your area to see what kind of facilities they provide

RESOURCES FOR LESSON 20

Promoting anti-discriminatory

practice & applying care values in a

compassionate way

Discrimination can come in many forms but they all usually result in the same outcome - leaving a person feeling frightened, depressed and often lonely.

The world goes to a lot of trouble to stop discrimination - how successful do you think it has been?

There is a saying we should all live by -

Until you prioritise kindness, you will never lead a

fulfilling life

Showing kindness to others makes you feel very special about yourself.

Acting in an anti-discriminatory way and showing people you care are important for all of us and especially care workers. Care workers not only need to say they care but hey also need to show it.

1. (MUST) Complete the 3 questions on page 111

2. (MUST) Describe what the word ‘empathy’ means

3. (MUST) How do we really show that we emphasise with people and that we care for them?
