(1B) analysis of the impact of social and cultural factors on different types of abuse and or harm.

As seen in the previous task, there are different categories of risk factors and different types of abuses and harms too. There is no doubt in the fact that the different risk factors lead to the different kind of abuses and harms. In this section first I will give a brief description upon the different kinds of risk factors and then the different types of abuses and harm and finally there will be a discussion on the fact that how different risks are linked to different abuses and harms (Reece, 2010).

The different kind of risk factors are broadly divided into Social and Cultural factors.

Socio policy equality UK

The impact social factors are as following:

• Poverty and Unemployment: From the surveys it seen that those who are poor and do not have the power of money are more vulnerable to the abuse and hence are mistreated by others.
• Health:The patients those who are not able to take their care and hence are dependent on other are vulnerable to abuse. The care takers and the family members do not want to waste their time as well as money in treating these people.
• Social Isolation: Social isolation leads to abuse because those parents or family members who are isolated from the society do not have that emotional factor which will be required to take care of these set of people. Moreover those who are isolated do not feel any obligation, even from the society, to take care either of the children or the aged people (Sim et al, 2012).
• Housing: Housing can be another reason for abuse when the care taker in the family is unemployed and he is dependent on the elder member financially. The need of money can lead to physical abuse.
• Education:Education has got an opposite impact on abuse. This means that education prevents in abuse and harm. Education helps is reducing the level of abuse as it educates the care giver about the ways to handle the patient and the stress caused by them.
• The impact of cultural factors are as following:
• Ethnicity:Ethnicity and cultural background has got a great impact on abuse as these are the things which gives rise to the use of alcohol, drugs and tobacco. The use of these harmful products is injurious but still people take it as it comes under their culture and maintains a social status for them.   
• Discrimination:Discrimination on the name of gender, colour, race etc. leads to various abuses and harm. This leads to the separation of the person from the society (Slade et al, 2014).
• Religion:There are religions which are considered as the minority and the individuals belonging to these religious groups are vulnerable to abuse as they are less in number.
• From the above discussion it is quite clear that there are different factors which leads to different kinds of abuses. All these social and cultural factors have an impact on the types of abuses and harms. There are different kinds of abuses and self-harms too. The different kind of abuses are like emotional abuse in which the victim is tortured mentally, the next is physical abuse in which the torture is done on the body of the victim, the next is sexual in which the victim is sexually harassed, then there is neglect in which the victim is left alone and completely isolated so that there is no one to interact with him. Similarly there are various types of self-harms, it includes self-harm and self-injury. Self-harm consists of factors like intake of alcohol in larger quantity, smoking or tobacco. The self-injury consists of actions like cutting the nerves, hanging to the fan i.e. all the activities that can lead to death (Stanley, 2013).
• There are different kind of risk factors that lead to various abuses or harms. The following figure will give an idea about the abuses and harm related to particular risk factor:

In this assignment you will need to develop and produce a Reflective Portfolio for yourself.Organisational Change Assignment Help  In the course of preparing the materials for this portfolio you will work with other members of your “learning set” but the final assignment which is submitted must be entirely your own work.

This process will require you to synthesise and build upon much of the information and many of the activities within the module. You will need to critically reflect upon the module and your learning. This assignment will require a high level of reflective, critical and creative thinking and input

Start working on this assignment from day one of the module. One of the assessment criteria that we shall be using is based around how much you have developed you thinking and understanding during the module.

The portfolio is built up from a variety of different materials:

A critical reflection of your groups Literature Review process and presentation.

• Discussion and reflection of Seminar/Case Study activities.
• Discussion and reflection of your significant learning themes.
• Application and integration of your learning – how can you apply and integrate this learning?

Apart from the above, what you put in the portfolio is up to you, but do remember that you need to demonstrate achievement of the assessment criteria.

You must ensure that your work contains reference to appropriate theories and produces evidence of critical thinking and reflection on your learning and development. Your work must be free standing and self-explanatory to the marking tutor.

“Experience is the child of Thought and Thought is the child of Action. We cannot learn men from books alone”         Disraeli.

This activity allows individuals to take a step back from learning experiences and create inferences about it in order to more fully understand its significance and meaning. By “pondering” about the learning and development going on, reflection uncovers insight and learning themes, connects your learning and performance, and yields more relevant feedback.

We all indulge in this process already, but generally at an unconscious or semi-conscious level. Many organisations and businesses do it, keen to improve their products by reflecting upon the experiences of their customers…….and keen to improve their internal (production) processes by encouraging all employees to reflect upon how they do their jobs and thus how their jobs can be improved!

In the same vein, all top sports people have to indulge in some sort of reflection upon their performance….in order to learn how to improve. If they don’t do this, they will not be at the top of their chosen sport for very long!

Practice is a necessary, but not a sufficient condition for learning: there are many examples of people repeating mistakes over and over again – we never learn from our mistakes alone, we only learn from reflecting upon our mistakes….and quite often the learning gained from our “mistakes” can be far more powerful and meaningful than learning from success.

In order to capitalise on seminar/lecture experiences as learning/development opportunities and to maximise any possible gain, it is necessary to take some time to consider and reflect on what happened in the event and turn those seminar/lecture experiences into learning/development. Kolb (1984) suggested that people learn more effectively by reviewing each occasion in which learning may take place. Schon (1987) used the phrase “reflection-in-action”.

Reflection is a key element in the learning process. It converts informal and perhaps accidental opportunities into efficient learning.

It is a flexible method, which recognises that learning & development is a personal and individual process.

There are a variety of models and frameworks to help explain, facilitate and capture reflective learning (Kolb’s Learning Cycle, Honey & Mumford’s Learning Styles).

Some Reflection Prompts.

Have any intriguing ideas emerged from your seminar discussions?

• What ideas (from lectures, work experience, other related modules….?) stand out in your mind as being particularly important/useful?
• How do these ideas relate to other similar ideas you have come across?
• How can you use these ideas in the future?
• Can you relate some of these ideas to the world of work?
• What made it easy or difficult for you to learn? What does that say about how you prefer to learn?
• Are any general themes emerging?
• What actions do you plan to take based on what you learned?

Review the above list of reflection questions for each seminar/lecture and choose a few to prompt your thinking rather than the entire list.

Do not be afraid to use drawings, diagrams, metaphors…..to push beyond a mere surface evaluation or chronological description of what you did. Rather than what you did, we want to read about the impact it has had on your understanding, learning and development.

You are not expected to summarise and cover every lecture or seminar!

One approach may be to pursue and explore three or four themes (maximum of three pages each) from the module, which may incorporate a mix of lectures or seminars or both?

THEMES FOR YOUR PORFOLIO (max 3-4 pages on each theme 3000-4000 words)

 1 The context of Change Management

John Kotter in his latest book Accelerate (2014:1-2) states that the speed of change has increased so fast that our basic systems and structures of the past century can no longer cope. Leadership and management have lost the ability to cope with the rapid pace of change.

Reflect on this modern age phenomena and give insight into the different schools of change management theory that address change management. Change Management has tended to focus on the achievement of one of three types of outcomes- individual change, group change and system change (Katz and Khan, 1978). Each of these has its advocates as to which is most important. For example, Maslow (1943) and the early Human Relations school focussed on the importance of individual motivation and behaviour. Lewin (1947) and Schein (1988), while recognising theimportance of individual behaviour to overall organisational performance, argued that modifying group behaviour was the best way to improve performance. Senge (1990), took a systems approach to improvement. He saw the interconnections of organisational life as being the most important factor and, therefore change has to start from this perspective. It is not the supporters of these three forms of change ignore the other two, but rather they see their form as being the lynchpin that holds the others together.

In your analysis you need to consider if the three schools of thought are still relevant as the ‘central planks’ of change management theory.

Refer to Burnes (2014:306-311).

2 Resistance to change

The prevailing view in organisational change literature appears to be that employee resistance to change is the main reason for the failure of many change efforts (Maurer, 1996, Waddell and Sohal,1998). However Burnes (2014) argues that one has to consider four theories which are fundamental to the resistance debate to make an informed decision:

Theory 1: Dispositional resistance

Theory 2: The depth of intervention

Theory 3: Cognitive dissonance

Theory 4: The psychological contract

Review the literature on these above theories and give your understanding of the application of these theories in understanding the resistance to change debate in organisations.

Refer to Burnes (2014: 312-318)

3 Managing change

Using the Framework for Change model (Burnes 2014: 409) analyse change in one of the case studies that you have studied on your module. In particular, identify the type of change, the selection and suitability of the approach to change and the degree to which the change implemented was a success. (For example case studies: McDonalds, St Mungo’s Broadway, Tesco’s etc) Reference Burnes 402-421)

Assignment title		Unit 5/ Working in Partnership in Health and Social Care
	Purpose of this assignment Working in partnership is a key element of practice within health and social care. The concepts of power sharing, consultation and joint ways of working are essential for effective service provision. Health and social care professionals need to understand the importance of promoting autonomy with individuals. They also need to be aware of their own roles and responsibilities and how they relate to others within the sector. Learners will explore the nature of partnership on three levels. First, they will examine partnerships with users of services that empower individuals to make informed decisions and encourage independence. Second they will consider partnerships between different professionals within health and social care and explore inter-agency working. Finally, they will investigate organisational partnerships and examines different ways of joint working at a strategic level. Learners will study a range of theories and research findings relating to partnership philosophies and joint working practices. Methods of promoting positive partnership working will be analysed along with relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures. Learners will also examine strategies to improve the outcomes of partnership working for users of services, professionals and organisations.
	Scenario You should use your own work practice/placement from the Health & Social Care sector to support your answers for ALL tasks (or scenario/ case study). Case Study A summary of the serious case review of Adult A who had a moderate learning disability and who died suddenly on 10 March 2010 whilst clearing papers young people had scattered in his garden. His death was found to be from natural causes (the combination of a heart attack and a small cancerous tumour), but the pathologist stated that the stress of the harassment experienced by Adult A and his family during the day and evening of his death could have been exacerbated the medical issues. The family suffered many incidents of harassment since moving to their house in 1971. During the period from January 2007 to March 2010 over 90 recorded incidents of burglary, harassment and general anti-social incidents were recorded by a variety of agencies. Many incidents had been reported to the police. The review concluded that although agencies had taken, there were often delays and action was uncoordinated. A number of recommendations were made, including the need for improved information and sharing between agencies. (original extract) Please see the full ‘Executive Summary of the Serious Case Review in respect of Adult A’ at:
	Task 1 (1.1, 1.2, and also opportunities to meet M1, M2, M3, D3)  Please address the following points in a report format  a)      Explain the partnership philosophy (ies) of working in partnership in health and social care, (such as empowerment, independence etc.)  (1.1). b)      Evaluate a few partnership relationships within health and social care settings, (such as users of services eg children, elderly, people with disabilities) Consider looking at partnership relationships with professional groups (social workers, health workers, etc.). To do this either reflect on your own professional practice, or you could use the link below (healthtalk), where you could choose one (or more) types of doctor-patient relationships watch a patient video and then evaluate the partnership relationship in the given context. (1.2). Task Guidance:  To achieve M1, you must demonstrate an effective approach to your study by submitting your work according to the deadline set To achieve M2, you need to use a range of sources of information throughout your work To achieve M3, you need to demonstrate a coherent, logical development of your argument when evaluating partnership relationships and suggesting ways to improve relations in a Health & Social Care setting. D3 can be achieved by demonstrating that effective and self-reflective thinking has taken place when you have evaluated partnership relationships, evaluated possible outcomes of partnership working and also when you have devised strategies to improve outcomes for partnership working.   (Indicative word count -1000- 1500 words) Submission date:  26.5.2017

Finally, you will need to either use your own professional experience or Adult A Serious Case Review (a link to this case is below) c)      In order to specifically explain how differences in working practices and policies affect collaborative working. Task Guidance:  To achieve M1, you must demonstrate an effective approach to your study by submitting your work according to the deadline set To achieve M2, you need to use a range of sources of information throughout your work
	Task 3 (3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and also opportunities to meet M1, M2, D1, D2)  Please make clear connections to practice (own experience or scenario/ case study)  Finally you must provide a 15-minute power-point presentation, referring to your own experience of supporting others and from your experience of working in the health and social care field/or the case study to support your work. In your presentation you must include the following: Evaluate possible outcomes of partnership working for users of services professionals and organisations (3.1). You will then need to analyse some potential barriers to partnership working in health and social care services (3.2). Finally, you must reflect on your knowledge and experience in order to comprehensively devise strategies to improve outcomes for partnership working in health and social care services (3.3.). You would be expected to use approx. 15 slides in your presentation, i.e.  5 slides per assessment criteria plus a Title slide at the beginning and a References slide at the end.
