Public Services And Social Care

Decision making and best interests of the patient in the care for people with mental health problems are one of the main concerns in nursing practice. Healthcare professionals should be knowledgeable enough to practice the legal code regarding decision making and protection of the patient with mental health problems (NMC, 2008).

Personalisation is a social care approach which was officially introduced in December 2007 when the Putting People First: A shared vision and commitment to transformation of adult care (DOH, 2007) Concordat was published. It’s aim was to transform the adult social care and people’s experiences of support and

Social welfare programs are when society organizes efforts to meet some human needs. In the United States social welfare philosophies have changed throughout the years, and support for social welfare has gone both ways.

Of the 10 barriers listed, by Mandell & Schram, I choose: The Inadequacy of Services, The Difficulty of Evaluating the Seriousness of a Problem, The Fear of Being Judged, Labeled, or Punished; because, of my own experience with these barriers (Mandell & Schram, 2012) I can relate to Kathy’s story, because I also experienced many social services when I was growing up. I faced abuse, from my step father, from the age of 3 till about 11, when he was incarcerated for murder. I also watched him abuse my mother being abused during this time, and I also saw how it affected her long-term. We attended batters women shelters, and homeless shelters and eventually I was placed into Foster care. The abuse my mother received took many years of social services,

With the increasing costs of maintaining a family household these days, it is not surprising that utilities such as electricity and gas, also appear to be growing and for many lower income families, these higher costs can and do pose a huge problem. The social welfare system/agency I selected for accessing services was SNAP (Spokane Neighborhood Action Partners) and their energy assistance program(s), such as Project Share and the Avista’s Senior Program. These programs, depending on your energy assistance needs, are designed to help eligible low-income households ease some of the financial burdens associated with maintaining heating costs through the upcoming harsh winter months.

Social services are available in the United States to help citizens through the financial hardships which are all too prevalent in our society. The degree to which a state provides social services depends on many factors including state and federal budgets, current job opportunities, and cost of living. Take Texas, a state which is known for its low cost of living along with its low taxes. Yet, an article by the Burnt Orange Report contends that Texas is one of the states with the highest rates of poverty. (Cadik) Whether or not this claim is true is up for debate. The fact is Texas does face the issue of poverty just like the rest of the nation does. The state has chosen to address the issue by implementing two social programs designed to help those in need: the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. We 'll cover both of these programs in detail, but we 'll also be looking at the trade off involved in increasing funding for these social services and how they would affect low-income Texans.

Besides acquired knowledge of social welfare policy and the social welfare system, I was particularly impressed by the following two statements or ideas: first, " Poor people are not necessarily thought to be inferior. Rather non-poor people are thought to be superior" (Tussing, 1974, p.53). Even when it is evident that race and socioeconomic status are associated with feelings of superiority and inferiority, it was very impactful to learn how socially constructed knowledge can shape one's actions and inactions. Second, the United States, a developed country with the largest economy worldwide, is ranked 34th on the well-being of children (Carten, 2016, p.1). As a child welfare worker, this finding is even more alarming when there is an obvious indicator of systematic racial disproportion amount the children we serve. It is not by coincidence that children living in extreme poverty made more than half

Personalisation is about to place individual at the heart of the service with their full involvement. Individual is supported and encouraged to have choice and control over they way they want to live of their life depends on their personal preferences and past history with a view of supporting independency of individual. It can be quite challenging for carer staff in the care home. Take our home as example, we have 50 residents in total and if there are 10 residents all want to get up at the same time at 6am in the morning, it can be difficult to achieve for night staff. Although the home manager can increase the staff level during that period, but it still be unrealistic to achieve for helping 10 residents to get ready at the same time. Realistically some residents have to change the time to either 5.40am or 6.20am and fortunately most residents understand the situation and will agree to change the time. Therefore, this proofs the point that personalisation is the great way of promoting dependency but care providers do have limitations to facilitate every individual’s

The predominance of our country is not only to give support to maintain the families within neighboring nations, but also to administer the needs of each individual in our own nation if they are in need and seeking help. The executive administration provides support for the elderly or adults and children that do not have a good standard of health and development. Welfare helps citizens during time of war, to give them something of support, or comfort. In order to understand the impact social services have something as small as a community or even as vast and diverse as a nation, we must comprehend in-depth what social services are. Social welfare is categorized in three specific sections which are known as: children’s service, special needs

Public health is composed of a variety of networks seeking to achieve the overarching goal of promoting health and preventing disease in communities. This task may seem easy to attain, but unfortunately there are a host of social, psychological, environmental, and economic factors that affect healthcare. Overall support and networks are important elements when assessing access to healthcare. Humans are communal creatures and psychosocial factors like social status, social affiliations and stress need to be addressed when determining health problems in society. In the Health Problem and Organizational Study, I described how taking antiretroviral medication relies heavily on simple factors like social support from family members and friends.

Find two journal articles on the topic of advocacy in health and social care. Use these articles in conjunction with the module materials to discuss the ways in which advocacy can help increase service users’ sense of empowerment when engaging with health and social care services.

I don’t believe that religion should play apart in services that are offered. I live in the “Bible Belt” where everything it seems is a sin. Churches provide most of the services that are offered in my community. Everything is “Bless your heart” or “I’m going to pray for you”.

Role of public service – to provide essential services well and to help the public to navigate to get services including help; it implements government policy to serve the public the best way possible and strives to meet the needs and hopes of the people of the land. It needs to communicate and to understand the needs and situations of users so that the services it provides will be appropriate and relevant. In the face of rising expectations, it needs to engage the public even more, to welcome the co-creation of solutions and to make improvements to current services and policy implementation. Too often, implementation is understood to be execution (for example, getting things done without sufficient consideration for communication). The key

This practice guide provide an insight on how legislations and agendas effects service users, it also examines the importance of values, attitude and belief within a health care setting. This report will also explore how societies and individuals value and devalue service users, for instance society creates a barrier such as labels in which controls equality. Therefore, the social model of disability challenges these complications to ensure that service user’s lives independently and has choice and control over their lives. This guide is aimed at new members of the Jhay Support Group in which provide a good service for those who needs support to live independently and learn invaluable skills. Ultimately, Policies are strategies

“[M]ore than US$ 100 billion is spent globally on health research each year. About half of this is in the private sector…” (WHO 2013, p. 45). This statement in the report of World Health Organization (WHO) shows how important the public sector is in health policies and health researches nowadays. Since 1970, many reforms and changes in social policy have been brought up to respond to the increasing role of business demands in national policy (Farnsworth and Holden 2006). According to Farnsworth and Holden (2006), the shift of policy makers’ concerns to national competitiveness, the impact of globalisation, the influence of business concepts in the welfare management, and the introduction of the public sector in national welfare services are the main factors indicating how the corporate sector gains more influence in the policy process. To identify the corporate power in different levels of decision-making, Farnsworth and Holden (2006) suggest that the division between structure and agency will be beneficial for clarifying the variable aspects of corporate power in regards to the different in policy processes and areas. Alcohol industry, one of significant corporate sectors in global economy, is a very interesting industry in applying the division between structure and agency to analyse the increasing influence of the commercial sector in health policy. On the ground that the market share of alcohol industry based on top 10 companies had increased rapidly from
