D1: I have decided to look at a 6 year old going through bereavement. Bereavement means to lose an individual very close to you. When children go through bereavement they are most likely to feel sad and upset about the person’s death. Children at a young age may not understand when a family member dies. Children may not understand bereavement. For example a 6 year old’s father been in a car crash and has died from that incident. Death is unpredictable and children can’t be prepared for a death of a family member as no one knows when someone is going to die or not. Unfortunately every child can experience bereavement even when a pet dies. It is important that we are aware that effects on the child so we can support them in the aftermath.
D2: The 2 key issues I am going to look at are:
1. The sharing of information

support and physical support. The sharing of information is relevant to transitions because practitioners have to share information between each other and the children’s families during transitions including bereavements to make sure that the family and the child can get as much support as they need during this change and let’s all the practitioners know of the change during this period. Emotional and physical support is given to a child and their families when there has been a change which has taken place in that child’s life; for example emotional and physical support is given to families during bereavements, this is a massive change in a child’s life. Sharing of information is where practitioners share information to other practitioners and the child’s family within the setting to promote a positive outcome for the child and the child’s family during this difficult time.
The sharing of information can help practitioner’s liase with the child’s family. It is important to share information because the practitioners can work with the parents to give appropriate support and decide together what is best for the child and how the practitioners and the family are going to support the child. I think it is important to share information with other practitioners because the practitioners are aware of the situation and can be careful about what they say and do as this could upset the child if anything insensitive is said. For example a practitioner doesn’t know that the child has lost someone very dear to them and the practitioner may not be able to become sympathetic towards the child. When the child is acting up or crying during this difficult time a practitioner should comfort the child and be there to answer any questions the child has got to encourage the child to express their
feelings. Sharing of information helps to deliver better and more efficient services for the child. Sharing information is important to improving every outcome in life. Sharing of information helps to work with multi-agency services better and more effectively. This can help other professionals like bereavement charities to work closely to the child to deliver effective support for the child and help the child through this difficult process. Sharing information can help practitioners to deliver a more co-ordinated and child-centred approach to focus more on the child’s individual needs, this helps practitioner’s meet the child’s needs efficiently. Sharing of information helps to prevent children from having poor outcomes in life which the vulnerable children are more likely to have (such as children going through a bereavement). (gov.uk) Emotional support can get the child and the family through during this difficult time and the child may not have experienced bereavement before. Emotional support I feel is important to give to the child and the family so that the family can feel supported during this difficult time and to promote positive relationships between the practitioners and the family so that the child can see the positive relationship and knows he can trust the practitioners and know that the practitioners can help him during this difficult time. Bereavements needs to be dealt with positively but if the child see’s this being dealt with negatively this may have a negative impact on the child for example a child begins to isolate himself from the rest of the class as he may not be able to cope with the death of a close person. The child may lose self-confidence and self-esteem which could prevent the child from developing positive relationships in the future. The child could then begin to hit out at others and start being unkind to others. The child may get into fights with the other children. All of this could be due to the negative impact on the child since the bereavement hasn’t been dealt with positively. Children who go through more than one bereavement or more than 1 difficulty have a higher chance of getting depression later on in life and have more risk taking behaviour. There can be a few causes to negative outcomes in relation to a bereaved child (i.e. living in disadvantaged circumstances). Every child has a different outcome as children are all different from each other so may not affect them all the same way. Sometimes it may not seem like the child is affected but it could always affect them later on in school work or in areas which are not as obvious. (Joseph Rowntree Foundation 14/09/15) Emotional support includes play therapy where the child can play and the therapist can see how the child is feeling through his actions while playing. For example a child is throwing a toy around the room which shows the therapist that the child maybe angry or upset about something. Play therapy can actually help a child without the child realising especially younger children because the child may think that they are just playing. This could benefit the child by improving the relationships between the child and everyone in the child’s life. A child is usually referred to a play therapist when the child has a change in behaviour or the child’s relationships with familiar adults have gotten really bad.
Person centred care means basing the care and support of a person around them. Looking at things from their perspective, promoting their beliefs, preference, likes and dislikes. They are involved in the development of their support plans, risk assessments and what they want to achieve. They determine what they want and how they want things doing. It promotes their individual needs and what is important to them. We listen to the individual and find out about their wishes and look at ways of carrying this out as safely as possible. We work with the individual, their families and others to empower the individual and to promote independence in their lives and ensure that the individual is supported to maintain their lives as they

Leadership, Character, Service, Citizenship. When I think of the NHS, leadership, character, community, and role modeling are all things that come to mind. Being a part of the National Honor Society will help me do just that. I have worked hard for outstanding grades, citizenship, and becoming a leader and role model for other classmates.
What does ‘care’ mean? Care is the provision of what is necessary for your health, welfare and protection of someone or something. However when you talk about ‘care’ in a care practice the term changes and becomes more about enabling people to meet all their needs which would refer to their social, physical, emotional, cognitive and cultural needs. The individual is central to the meaning of care in this context.
2.3 Explain how the health and social care practitioner own values, beliefs and experiences can influence delivery of care.
Successful American writer and former CEO of furniture company Herman Miller, Max De Pree said, “The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant.” I strongly agree. Thus, I will first assume the role of a leader, a role that will hopefully develop into an official role, by defining the reality of NHS.
The setting up of hospital and emergency service was born because of the war. The emergency hospitals and services were designed to treat wounded and sick soldiers, bombing casualties, and evacuees. This singular action proved that the state can establish and run a health service. Beveridge’s report of 1942 served as a last signal which confirmed that a national health service would be established.
Attendance is an important factor in children’s school success. Studies have shown that students who attend school regularly scores higher on test than their peers who are frequently absent (Epstein pg 309). Illness is one of the leading causes of absenteeism among school age kids. Therefore keeping kids healthy and teaching them ways to stay healthy will aid in avoiding missing school related to illness.
Social support was defined by Berger (1992) as the resources that are provided by other persons. This broad concept of social support was organized or operationalized into three categories by Barrera (1986): (a) social embeddedness (the connection to significant others); (b) perceived social support (access to social support resources and appraisal of that support); and (c) enacted support (actions that others perform when they render assistance to a focal person). In the gay community, many of these supports have been either in the categories of social embeddedness or perceived social support. Barrera (1986) also found a positive relationship between social support and stress: When gay men are isolated socially and emotionally from the mainstream of society they often develop, enhance, or utilize social support resources
Case Management is a discipline within the Long Term Care system. Case managers help and give guidance in the planning process of developing a care plan for individuals with different diagnoses. The case manager assesses an individual, plans the care, facilitates communication between all members of the team, coordinates appropriate care, evaluates the individual, and acts as an advocate for proper communication between the patient, family members, and the interdisciplinary team (Marion et al., 2010). Case managers are individuals who have specialized in a field within the human and health services, receiving higher education, a license or certification. This education allows case managers to be able to perform assessments on their own, within
The healthcare and social assistance industry includes establishments that provide healthcare and social assistance for the public. These establishments must follow environmental policies to protect the land, water, and air.
The theory used for this case study was effective, because it was able to get P to recognise that change need to occur so the support that she received would be effective. Reflecting on action the outcome of the assessment and intervention that was applied to P’s case I used supervision and to discuss concerns I had regarding this family with my PS. Supervision helped me establish my concerns and areas I required further support in application to theory in evidence based practice ‘blind self’.
To begin with, we have to identify what exactly means for the words “public health”. In general, we usually divided into two different areas. Public health which refers to the health of the environment surrounding in public, such as public transport and public infrastructure. Another explanation of public health means to prevent disease produced by different channels and methods, which also is the most common meaning and what I will mainly working for this paper about public health. First of all, when people mentioned about public health, United States and Japan would be the first two countries to compare with. Because the United States and Japan are basically two of the countries that everybody thinks of the most robust public health system.
There are numerous public health problems that can be addressed in my Southside of Chicago community. Among the several public health problems facing my Southside of Chicago community there are two that are more urgent. Health education or one might say lack thereof is a problem that needs to be addressed. My community is plagued with many of the residents suffering from high blood pressure, diabetes, and the killer virus known as HIV. In most cases these conditions can be prevented with healthier lifestyles and access to nutritious organic foods. In addition, environmental health is another urgent problem my community is facing. Access to clean, safe water and air is supposed to be a fundamental human right aimed at a healthy environment. Yet, my community consists a waste contaminated beach, numerous deteriorated building that are still occupied, and a countless number of restaurant and stores supplying our residents with services that are endangering their health.
Personal health is extremely important to everyone around the world. But it is especially important to citizens of the United States of America. Being one of the leading countries in Health technology and also in food and beverage leaves most people choosing between living a healthy lifestyle and indulging in the varieties of food we offer. Across the country, many people are living with pre-existing conditions, living in food deserts, living below the poverty line and a long list of other factors that either hinders them from eating healthy or force them to eat healthily. When trying to live a healthy lifestyle in this country not only does the promotion of prevention matter, but also the promotion of Career and job opportunities matter just as much. In the United States, Money equals Power and money also equal the opportunity to create and live a healthier lifestyle.
