INTRODUCTION
Learning is the continuous process of where in an individual learns many things and task to
perform well. This is important for an individual to understand the trend and develop the
understanding level by using different ways and training that can help to develop the individual
performance. If a person is having proper knowledge and skills, then it will be an opportunity to
grow their business activities and functions. In other words, learning is the main activity that
leads to change and occurs as a result of experience and increase the ability to improve
performance and future learning (Surur, Degeng, Setyosari and Kuswandi, 2020). The present
report is based on skills and abilities for the role of health care assistant which is require to
perform specific roles and responsibilities by managing all functions and activities. This plays a
role of tutor who teaches in specialization of mental health nursing, teaching in children with
learning disability, and teaching in adult special needs. The present report covers impact of
personal, social, and cultural factors on learning, policy and regulatory framework relating to
inclusive practice, roles and responsibilities relating to inclusive practice, features and benefits of
inclusive learning environment and strategies effectively. On the other side, reflection account
and plan in relation to inclusive practices are also covered.
TASK 1
Research Reports
Research Report is the document which is prepared by an analyst or strategist for the
purpose of conducting research and managing the all functions. This is important for researcher
to analysis the market and comes to know what problems are facing by individuals while
teaching to their students. In relation to health care industry, health care assistant is teaching to
students about mental health nursing, teaching in children with learning disability, and teaching
in adult special needs. This is important for each individual to understand what is running in
health care industry and how the learner teaches to their students (Tamur, and Juandi, 2020).

1.1 Impacts of personal, social, and cultural factors on learning
Personal – In the learning environment there are various factors that influences learners.
The personal aspect involves age, development of language, gender and individual person that
influence the learning. It has seen that young people have grasping memory which used to learn
for long term and emphasis to learn new things. On the other hand, old ages of people does not
have sharp memory but have high level of concentration and experience when it comes to
learning. In relation to health care industry, health care assistant is having major role in learning
process that provide the learning to their students about mental health nursing, teaches to
children with learning disability, and teaching to adult in special needs. Thus, it influences the
learning ability and improve the performance (Shanta, and Wells, 2020).
Social – This means changing in attitude of people, peer pressure, relation between learner
and students that influence the learning. It can see that if educational background of student’s
family is good then it influences leaning ability and mental health. In relation to Health care
industry, health care assistant creates the good educational background and make efforts to
reduce the peer pressure that influence the learning ability and their experience in specific field.
The learner teaches all the approaches and strategies to their students about treatment and mental
health of individuals (Novikov, 2020).
Cultural – For learners and students cultural factor is impacting positively as it encourages
learning that helps to improve the learning abilities and managing each functions. The health
care assistant understands the culture of their students from where they belong to and bringing
the changes in their skills that can help to develop the learning abilities. This make the easier to
task and develop each function and activity in learning process (Sari, 2021).
1.2 Different cognitive, physical, and sensory abilities on learning
Cognitive – Cognitive skills is defined as skills that is important in learning that might be
difficult to learn or read sometimes. A learner who has ability to read and good analytical skill
then it is easy to compare to others who does not have such kind of skills. In relation to health
care and learning process health care assistant have ability to keep information, good mental
health power and nursing abilities that used to teach their students and improve the people’s
health (Pursitasari, Suhardi, Putra, and Rachman, 2020).
Physical – This means to have personal abilities is good for learner as it boosts to learning
and make the easy task to be complete. The people who are physically challenged may find the
4

difficulties in reading and writing, and working that impacts negatively. In this case, tutor or
health care assistant is require to prepare such document and activities which can be used to
improve the learning abilities and maintain good performance.
Sensory abilities – This skill and ability is related to brain development which is needed in
promoting easy learning. The low brain development makes poor learning and high brain
development is developing the skills and abilities to complete the task. The health care assistant
is having good sensory abilities such as writing, information collecting, practicing, and good
communication that can be used to develop the understanding and managing the functions
(Abdurrahman, Nurulsari, Maulina and Ariyani, 2019).
b) Using the research, summarises policy and regulatory framework that relates to inclusive
practices
The Equality Act 2010, is the regulation that is formulated by government for the purpose
of providing equal rights to all employees and students in their activities. In the school, colleges,
universities, and health care industry a learner should be follow this practice and advocates for
non-discrimination on the basis of age, gender, and disability. This can help to develop the
learning skills of health care assistant and managing the all functions (Schmid, and Petko, 2019).
Disability Act 2010, states that no learner should not be discriminated on the basis of
religion, believes and sex that can help to develop the learning abilities of students in the
specialization of mental health, children care, and nursing (García-Redondo, and et.al., 2019).
The 14-19 curriculum and qualification that reform as another policy used for inclusive.
The curriculum policy is mainly designed for meet the educational needs and ensure inclusivity.
This also helps to increase the engagement abilities of students which can help to develop the
understanding level and managing the higher performance. This also focuses on increasing the
quality of learning and teaching extending to special needs and become an expert in their
specialization (Almaiah, and Alismaiel, 2019).
Pearson is another regulatory body which used for further education whose policy not only
complement but also supplement to national regulation. Such as Health and Safety policy is
followed by health care assistant that can help to influence the learning positively (Lee, Song,
and Hong, 2019).

2.3 How policy and regulatory framework influences organizational policies that relates to
inclusive practice
National policies and regulatory frameworks that affects the organizational policies.
These all ensure that organization comply with inclusive guidelines and principle that can help to
managing the all functions and activities effectively. If anyone has done the crime, then it should
be liable for punishment and charges that promotes the inclusivity in education sector. All
organization is requiring to adhere laws and regulations which are important to managing the
functions and developing the understanding of students in particular specialization. This also
helps to maintaining the higher performance and productivity by increasing experience and
complete the task effectively. While learning and teaching process a health care assistant has
followed all regulations and laws which are important to follow and complete the learning skills
improve the skills and abilities. When a health care assistant start to learn or teaches their
students about different specialization in health care and mental disability then it should be
followed all regulations as it can help to maintain the higher performance and develop the each
functions and activities (Anthony, and et.al., 2019).
TASK 2
Personal Account
3.1, 3.2 Summarise own role and responsibilities relating to inclusive practice and its relation to
other professional
As a health care assistant in teaching and learning industry, planning, learning, and
delivery lessons to learners is creating the positivity in their working. The teacher or tutor is
require to have proper understanding and knowledge in particular specialization areas which can
help to maintain the higher performance and activities. As an heath care assistant has followed
all regulations and understand the roles that how to provide the learning to students. By creating
the communication books and following Health and Safety Act, all the learning roles and
responsibilities performed effectively. There is need to engage in all functions and activities by
maintaining effective communication which can be used to share and transform the information
regularly. Other than this, Equality Act 2010, supports the learner to treat all students and
employees in the industry equally which can help to maintain the higher performance and
activities effectively. In the inclusive period, a good relation between learner and students is
6

maintained properly which can help to develop the business performance and maintain the higher
performance. To develop the skills and sharing the article social media is being used by selected
role that can help to prevent the student from discrimination on the basis of race, age, gender,
and people living with disability. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) come in to force
in May 2018 for the purpose of saving the data of schools and colleges where students are
reading and managing the functions (Guzdial, and et.al., 2019).
As a role of health care assistant all the roles and responsibilities as tutor has been
performed by managing the all functions and activities. This provide an understanding in
particular area of specialization which used to develop the understanding about health care and
its related activities in inclusivity. As a health care assistant I am responsible to teach my
students about mental health nursing, teaching in children with learning
disability, and teaching in adult’s special needs that can help to develop the
understanding and managing the all performance. I am able to teach my
student in better way as I am experienced and well trainer who provide the
good assistance to the students underperforming roles and responsibilities.
On the other side, I ensure that campaign and knowledge of inclusivity
regulations are becoming important part of their learning which needs to be
consider while teaching to their students. This can help to maintain the
higher performance in each task and learning abilities. Meeting with different
stakeholders such as parents, guardians and other economist from different
institution helps to establish the regulation and take participation in
promotion of inclusivity (Finkelstein, Sharma, and Furlonger, 2021).
In many cases it has seen that students do not need to get further
assistance as they are able to understand their role and responsibilities
clearly. Thus, they perform the roles and managing the all functions
effectively. As a health care assistant in health care industry I need to
analysis the skills and abilities of student that can help to support the
learning services and ensure that all the guidelines and regulations has been
followed by learner or teacher while teaching to their students. This can help
to save the time and develop the understanding level in particular area. The
all practices in relation to inclusive are effective that are needs to be follow
7

while teaching the students as it maintains the equality and diversity at the
workplace. This also helps to create the good relation between tutor and
students who are involves in one activity and manage the all functions
effectively. This also support the learning abilities of students by comparing
with others and make efforts to bring something new learning skills which
can be used to perform each task effectively (Paseka, and Schwab, 2020).
3.3 Identifies points of referral you might use to meet the needs of learner
In the learning stage and process, it has identified that a person is require to have proper
knowledge and skills which can be used to develop the business activities and individual
performance. In relation to inclusive learning practices there are different points to referral which
can be used to bring the changes and managing the all functions effectively. Legislations and
laws on inclusivity is defined as good reference for learners that can help to understand the laws
which can guide about inclusive practices. This is important for individuals to find out the issue
which arises in inclusive practices needs to be resolve by focusing on each topic and attaining the
productivities. The health care assistant is having major role in the organization and learning
process as it communicates with their student who are getting the education in the specialization
of mental health nursing, teaching in adults’ special needs, and teaching in children with learning
disability. These all are working properly and maintain each function and activity properly. In
this, assistant is requiring to understand the all business aspects and student’s abilities which can
help to managing the all functions and working properly. Other than this, inclusive curriculum is
the good point of referral for learners to understand the principles of inclusivity. This principle of
inclusivity states how school’s curriculum ensures that inclusive is achieved. This can help to
develop the understanding level and skills of students in health care industry.
Counsellors and psychologists are also referral point for students in health care where
counsellors make sure than no one students suffer from harassment, and discrimination. This can
help to gain the knowledge about how to remove all the issues and provide the higher
performance which can help to maintain the higher productivity (Nkana, 2019) (Messiou, and
Ainscow, 2020).

4.1, 4.2 key features and benefits if inclusive learning environment and strategies for effective
liaison between professional who are involves inclusive practice
Inclusive learning is defined as effective teaching practices which is used by people for the
purpose of developing the skills and abilities in the changing environment. This is important for
each individual to take part in inclusive learning and follows the teaching approaches that ensure
all children are engaged, included and supported that can help to completing the education in
specific area. There are several features of inclusive learning such as respect for diversity which
mainly used to recognise diversity and respects that helps to identify the age, disability, gender
and status that needs to identify and make the right decision. The parents of all students wants
that their children to be accepted by their peers, friends, and tutors that lead the regular lives and
managing the all activities in relation to particular working. The children develop a positive
understanding of themselves and others which can help to develop the understanding level and
maintain the good performance. From the inclusive learning children and students learns the
academic skills, all children learn together, and it develop the friendship which can help to
improve the own and personal abilities (Kuyini, Desai, and Sharma, 2020).
An inclusive learning environment promotes inclusivity in learning and teaching as health
care assistant is bound by guideline of inclusive and treat the all learners fairly. In this, assistant
has followed the health and safety, and diversity act in their business environment which can
help to manage the business activities and bring the changes in their working. The inclusive
learning environment is free of discrimination, harassment. Herein, health care assistant is
developing the learning of their students where they starts to lean about mental health nursing,
teaching in children with learning disability, and teaching in adults special needs that can help to
managing the higher performance which develop the learning abilities. The inclusive learning
environment consider that learners are fairly and equally treated thus, it encourages the learning.
In this individuals and students celebrates their achievement and targets their goals and
objectives which can help to develop the own skills and abilities effectively.
An inclusive learning environment enhances the respects for their elders and make the
students or learners to be comfortable. This also helps to maintain the positive attitude by
attending classes that create the friendly environment. The learning environment creates a culture
of tolerance between learners, teachers and stakeholders that can help the students in health care
9

to develop positive learning attitude. This also promotes students empowerment and shared
responsibility (McKenna, Newton, and Bergman, 2021).
The strategies for effective liaison between professional who are involves inclusive
practice is effective learning culture environment and collaboration which are most important for
the purpose of running their roles and responsibilities clearly. Collaboration is used to connect
the learner and students in their area and increase the learning abilities which can help to make
feel comfortable. With the help of collaboration and effective learning environment it become
easy for students to learn something new and maintain the higher performance by managing the
all functions and activities. Good cooperation is also a liaison strategy through which health care
assistant and students communicate in better ways and inform about professional development.
In other words, networking and positive relationship is also helpful in facilitating the liaison
between professional and students by developing their understanding level and skills in specific
area. This also helps to complete the goals and attaining the higher performance (Esteban-
Guitart, and et.al., 2019).
TASK 3
Reflective account and plan
Review the effectiveness of your own inclusive practice
Inclusive practice is in different form which is used by me to increase the learning abilities
and attaining the higher performance. This enables teaches to recognise and accommodate the
requirements of all learner’s by removing the barriers in to learning areas. My practices of
inclusive practices is effective as I played the role of health care assistant where I adhered to all
policies and legislations in relation to organization or schools. While learning and teaching to
students I have strength of engaging in working and maintaining proper communication with all
that can help to make understand in good way. My weakness that noticed by me is lack of time
management and resources which I improved by giving priority to each work. The opportunity
available in inclusive practices is sharing information, and accepting the challenges which
10

supports to achieve the goals and objectives clearly. From the all evaluation, I developed my area
of knowledge in health care and become a good teacher where I teaches to my students in proper
way (Charles, 2019).
5.1 & 5.2 Identify the strength and areas for improvement
While learning and writing anything there is need to analysis the strength and weakness
firstly which can help to know how the develop the skills and abilities particularly. From the
inclusive learning I focused on my strength such as self-awareness and predictability. Herein, I
have good knowledge and skills about health care and become as health care assistant which
helped me to bring the skills and managing each function and activity. I was always abide by
rules and regulation on inclusivity in practice and general life as it develop the understanding
level and managing the higher performance. I mostly uses the reflective practices to teach my
students that helps to understand shortcoming as an individual and follows the policy guidelines.
I was always reach to learn more and gaining new skills and abilities which can help to develop
the knowledge in specific area. I respect the all regulation which are formulated to save the
children rights and give the right education that all followed by me at the time of teaching. in
this, all the participants and hive equally contribution and also helped me to improve the skills in
multilateral task that can provide me a good opportunity to perform all functions accurately
(Finkelstein, Sharma, and Furlonger, 2021).
Analyse ways to promote inclusion, equality, value diversity
In the learning environment it is most important their skills and abilities should be increase
day by day as it can provide the future opportunity and managing the all functions effectively. At
the workplace there is need to follow equality and diversity which can help to make feel
comfortable all learners and students. To promoting the inclusion there is need to adherence to
organization regulation and policies which can help to managing the all functions and activities.
The values of learning should be transferred to learners which can help to introduce the different
ways to managing the good performance. The teachers and health care assistant should be used
teaching style in learning institution. The learners make sure no discrimination between students
should be done on the basis of age, colour, sex, and religion as all have equal rights to get the
education and performing their roles and responsibilities clearly. The teachers also need to
handling the discrimination that arises in learning process and create the healthy environment
which can help to promote the inclusion in learning environment. The student empowerment is
11

another strategy that is used to develop the student’s skills and abilities in specific area and
manage each function accurately (Giangreco, 2021).
To promote the equality and diversity tutor should be follow equality Act 2010 and
Diversity Act 2010 that can help to make feel students important and increase their interest in the
learning area. To ensure quality there is need to focus on quality of learning and maintaining the
good relation between students and teacher which can help to develop the understanding and
managing the all functions. The value of diversity should be increases that provide an
opportunity and celebrating the achievements. The teacher is required to understand the needs
and skills of their students and provide them chances to develop their abilities in particular areas
and specialization. A positive attitude is also considerd as effective ways of promoting the
equality and diversity at the workplace which can help to managing the all functions and
activities effectively. It has seen that when people are treated fairly and equally along with
positive attitude is considered as important aspects which is used to complete the task and attain
the higher performance. The another strategy is engaging the learners and empowering
individuals to promote equality and diversity (Muñoz Martínez, and Porter, 2020).
CONCLUSION
From the report it can be concluded that inclusive practices is the important part of learning
which is used to develop the understanding and managing the all functions. There are different
ways of promoting inclusion, equality, and diversity as to follow all principle sand guidelines
which are formulated to perform particular roles and responsibilities. To work in a team and
maintaining the good communication between teacher and students the will be consider as
strategy of equality. This is important for each and every individual to develop their skills and
knowledge by taking the part in each activity and managing the performance. Inclusive practice
is considered as form of integration where students with special needs, as the first and desired
option while maintaining appropriate services and supports. The feature of inclusive practices are
treating all students and individual fairly and equally which can help to develop the skills and
