As it is unclear that’s there how many of the people who have the belonging to the Windrush as
who gave arrived as the children travels on the passport in the parents and have never applied of

the respective level of travel documents. It has been identified that’s there are more than 500000
people who were resident who have their birth in the commonwealth countries which is
according Windrush arrivals who has arrived before the year 1971.
This generations will have the influx with 1971 immigrations acts when the commonwealth
citizens who have the already the living in UK which have her govern defines leave to have

M1 Analyse the impact of the historical antecedents on current social or community work policy.
As per the implication of the historical antecedent Windrush scandal in the year 2018 which is
concern to be part of politic scandal which have the major concerning of the people who are
more detained, denied from their legal rights along with threatened with deportation. The
member was forming the Caribbean countries has been identified who were resident who have

mental abilities negatively.
P3 Describe about how contemporary social issues have influenced policy and reform on macro
level.
A contemporary social issue is a type of problem that influence individual within society.
Sometimes, it is to consider as common issue that happening in society. It often the consequence
of multiple factors and extending the beyond an individual’s control (Browne, Zlotowitz and
Barker, 2020). This type or problem is considerations as source of conflicting between societies,
especially identify personal life of youth club which directly affects on the social as well as
economic aspects (Browne, Zlotowitz and Barker, 2020). Moreover, it also established link
between personal issue and public where it may be subjective, depend on the how young
generation people defined. Sometimes, it is not enough within society which affected by issue or
problem. Whether predictive the socioeconomic that will be sharing the challenges and also
faced the health effects. Sometimes, it is isolating the impact on the society at macro level,
especially when the condition change over time. In this way, it is difficult to control the health
condition among young people across the world. Therefore, it affects on the society and
community.
On the basis of wind rush stories which always promoting the conversation at different
events. In order to gather the insight from London citizens and consider communities. They
would tries to transform the different policies and procedures which help for providing better
facilities. Sometimes, they also helping for improve the economic condition. Furthermore, it
examined the inequality as well as poverty rate through event, it contended that highly
proportion of employee which are poorly paid with full time jobs. At micro level, policy
association between nation poverty and handle rate.
Contemporary issues have influenced to reform the social policy and procedure on the
agenda everywhere. In many developing countries, economic condition remain recognised that
there is also considered neoliberal agenda that become extreme form, it would like to put an end
of welfare and also evolved in the UK (Gangl and Torgler, 2020). It has continued emphasizes
the role of individual and also accepting the responsibility. On the other hand, it also beliefs,

value on the basis of taste, preferences. Sometimes, it become difficult to dispute and
contribution to categorise into values as well as rational reasoning.
It can be defined the social work as field that always promote the social change and
development, empowerment and liberation of people(Browne, Zlotowitz and Barker, 2020) . The
organisation maintains that social employee engage with the young people and address life
challenges, enhancing the well-being. The primary aim is to reform the policy into macro level,
working within social issue which offers opportunity to make significant impact on the high-
level issue. It can be leading to the problem at community levels (Daly, 2020). It has required to
make a policy that automatically reform the macro level. By using policy and procedure, it
mainly focused on the awareness on injustice in society. The most critical phase of life is period
of major physical, psychological and behavioral changes within youth people. It is changing the
pattern of social interaction as well as relationships. Youth is consider as window of opportunity
that set up different stages for healthy and productive adulthood. In order to minimize the health
problem or issues. So as require for implementing policy which always support in term of growth
and development.
The argument also deals with contemporary issues such as technique, mainly used for
providing social benefits. It has rapidly changing the condition demand of social sector where it
can easily reform everywhere. Although, the primary reason is to seem self-evidence that should
be identified the relevance to transition countries (Gangl and Torgler, 2020). Moreover, Modern
welfare has not been coped well with other consequences of different trends, emerging the way
to develop societies, social fragmentation and consider threat of social exclusion. In additional,
the reason for reform at macro level to reduce complication of contemporary issue within society
(Browne, Zlotowitz and Barker, 2020). It is increasing the current reform disclosure that can
easily address significant need for welfare policy. In order to recommend that put more efforts to
enhance youth society. In this way, it performs the action within society and community that will
change policy through participation of supervisors.
The social policy is becoming inclusive disciplinary which means to provide accurate
solution to identify need of social life. Sometimes, it has raised the social problem that will
change economic as well as environment factors. During contemporary issue, the social policy
reform in the different areas where it plays important role in human being (Ghazinoory and et.al.,
2020). For instance, society policies are defined the solution and also changed the condition of

people. The fact is that when understanding the condition of youth adults and also adopting
social policies. In order to meet expectation level. Sometimes, they can use interventionist
approach in term of welfare, ensure that social policies support to handle the control physical as
well as mental health condition among youth people (Browne, Zlotowitz and Barker, 2020). It
provide the better result or outcome. On the other hand, social responsibilities should be reduced
the problem in regards of abuse. It is possible to change attitude, behaviour of people while
increasing effectiveness of administration.
In despite, welfare society still regulate and implement social policies in current scenario. It
is exposed to transform and extend to replace by policies (Sjöblom, 2020). In some situation, it
will be predicting to continue existence in new forms. It is an essential for maintaining the power
of regulation in the social community while promoting the physical and mental health condition
of people.
P4 Discuss a range of social issues that have impacted on areas of social and community work on
a micro level.
Globalisation is considered to the border terms which is the process for enabling financial
markets to operate internationally, largely as a result of deregulation and improved
communication. There is major level of implication over the social transports as there is increase
in visibility of different products in order to have the crossing f border more quickly in perfect
manner. This have brought the major level of social problem for the profession which can be
such as the hum trafficking along with the proper level of immigration as the asylum seekers
along with their refuges from their different way of more creating the demand on the services.
The social worker has the find out the major issues to investigate social workers' practice
perceptions and educational needs. This also have the visible range of variable matter in setting
up the precatives which is being affected their level of perception of the globalization the social
work. There have ebbed the issues in international understanding t be claim that’s is bi too busy
dealing with the day-to-day issues of clients to worry about global policies.
There is more level of major issues which is in realties to more level of movement of
people from the one place to another is having the major impact at the micro level implication. In
this way, it performs the action within society and community that will change policy through
participation of supervisors. The social worker has analysis the major issues in abuse of power

from the individual. It has been analysed the society is utilised in a manner which is not
accepted. People in power tend to abuse those who are in not which is essentials in more way of
maintaining the power of regulation in the social community while promoting the physical and
mental health condition of people.
M2 Discuss about the macro level policy reform impact on the social community.
Macro level policy impact on the society. Whether predictive the socioeconomic that will
be sharing the challenges and also faced the health effects. Sometimes, it is isolating the impact
on the society at macro level, especially when the condition change over time. It will be
reformed the policy into macro level, working within social issue which has increased the
opportunity to make significant impact on the high-level issue. It can be leading to the problem
at community levels.
D1 evaluate the impact of contemporary social issues on current community work practices.

some situation, it has to be considered as common problem while increase the conflict between
people. In order to increase risk, complication among society as well as community.

PART 2
P5.Summarise the contemporary social issue relating to own area of practice using Practice
Theme
The contemporary social issue which has been faced by is abuse. People in power are
abusing those who are not in power. Psychological abuse, often called emotional abuse, is a form
of abuse, characterized by a person subjecting or exposing another person to behaviour that may
result in psychological trauma, including anxiety, chronic depression, or post-traumatic stress
disorder. All of the workers are engaged in working hard so that they can provide quality of
education to poor young adults. The youth club is also working towards providing justice to all
young adults who have been proven wrong. They are working towards youth justice (Yawar and
Seuring, 2017). It has been analysed that there are some social issues which has been faced by
workers, staff members working in the youth club. There has been abuse of power from the
individual. It has been analysed that in this youth club power is being utilised in a manner which
is not accepted. People in power tend to abuse those who are in not. It has been analysed that it is
the major reason that staff members, employees in this youth club is suffering from emotional
and mental problems.
It is affecting their physical and mental abilities negatively. It has also been evaluated that
all the workers in youth club who are working in the same level are not provided with equal
opportunities. Also some of the workers are facing problem related to substance abuse. Most of
the females in youth club are facing problems like harassment. All these aspects are laying
negative impact on their work; it has also reduced their productivity in work. This aspect has
made most of the staff member’s vulnerable; they feel anxious and nervous while working. Also
it has been analysed that because of the abuse by individuals who are in power, it has also
impacted the health outcome of employees. It has also been analysed that this type of behaviour
needs to be stopped as soon as possible as it is also reducing the operational efficiency and
productivity of youth club. They must be engaged in implementing some policies related to
safeguarding mental, physical and emotional well being of workers who are working with them.
It has also analysed that individuals in power has also over burden with workload to employees
who are not. This is negatively affecting their well being.

M3Impact of the contemporary social issue on different aspects of social or community work
It has been analyzed that workplace is one of the key environments that affects physical and
mental well being of individual. Productivity related to work is been related to mental health of
employees (Mayer and et.al., 2019). There are various consequences which can be faced during
the community work because of abuse in the work place like for example the absenteeism among
care workers and community workers will be increased. This will lay negative impact on
working of any organization.
P6 Relate the issue identified to its potential impact on social or community service provision
and the experience of service users.
The issue that has been identified is the abuse faced by employees, staff members and
workers in youth club affecting their mental, physical and emotional well being. This has
influenced promotion of mental and physical well being at work place. This issue has large
potential impact on service users who are going through it and also on the community in which
these cases have been noted. It has been analysed that mental health well being in work place is
really necessary for making the work more productive. The consequences of facing abuse in
workplace have large issues like it can result into increase in overall absenteeism from the youth
club. It can also lead to poor health of employees making them more sick and depressed. So in
order to promote mental and physical health well being it is really necessary for community to
make policies related to providing safeguarding on work place abuse. The local council has
formulated the policies and prosecutes such as providing equal opportunities to all employees so
that stress does not increase. They have also formulated policy to protect the workers from
abuse.
This can assist them in reducing the stress of employees which has been faced by them. It
will also support the communities in enhancing the productivity aspects of work that has been
done by service users (Sankar and Parker, 2017). It has also been analysed that of any of the
service user in work place is facing abuse than it might lead to poor mental health which can
ultimately increase the errors in the work done by workers. They might also feel like leaving the
job or workplace. So special emphasis must be led by communities so that they can reduce the
problem of abuse and also can promote the mental, physical and emotional health and well being
of workers.
