Children and Young People in The Health and Social Sector.
Children and young people play a major role in the health sector. Due to their weakened immune
system, they are more exposed to diseases and appropriate intervention should be implemented
to ensure their wellbeing (Skinner, Sogstad, and Tingvold 2019, pp.999-1011). Children also
require a support system that will help them develop the appropriate social skills. Being minors,
they also require specialized services that will ensure that their rights are maintained, and they
grow in the proper environment. The topic of this research is understanding the range of services
and their roles in the health and social care towards the children and the young people. This topic
is justified because through knowing the services that are available to a community, it is possible
to develop the appropriate interventions that will improve the quality of the social and health
care, especially to individuals in their early years. The aim of this research project is to
understand the various services that are in the community regarding childcare. This research also
aims understanding the role that the services play within the health and social care. Ethical
considerations will be applied during the data collection process and all information collected
will be kept confidential (Gradinger et al. 2019, pp 48)
Literature review
In a community, there are various services available for health and social care for the young
people and children. Service provisions are arrangement for supplying something that is needed
by the public. examples of services provisions are children centers, preschool care, acute hospital
services, tele care, general practitioner services, early childhood education centers, pharmacies in
hospitals and healthcare centers, court of law and so much more. These services are provided by

e council, National Health Services, private enterprises or voluntary sectors (Skinner, Sogstad,
and Tingvold 2019, pp.999-1011).
The services provided to the young people can be divided into four groups, private, statutory,
informal and voluntary sectors. Statutory service are services which are provided to everyone by
the law. They are usually funded by the government and in most instances they are free. An
example is the public primary education (Skinner, Sogstad, and Tingvold 2019, pp.999-1011).
Private services are owned by enterprises and usually the individual must pay a certain fee in
order to access them. An example is the private clinics. On other hand, voluntary services are
services that are provided by a private organization however, the staff are not paid for the
services they offer neither do the patients pay to obtain the services. Informal care series are
services that are provided by a friend, family or neighbor. They complement the work that is
provided by statutory or private serves. An example of an informal service is emotional support
that parent provides to the children in the form of listening to them and building their self-esteem
(Bach-Mortensen, and Montgomery 2019, p.e022975).
Each service plays a unique role in development of health and social care of the children. The
services can provide intellectual support, build the self-esteem of children, maintain the child’s
health, promote growth and development, safeguard the rights of the children, challenge
discrimination, promote independence and support the children with special needs (Rodrigues,
and Glendinning 2015, pp.649-664).
