TASK 1
1.1. Analyse the concept of health, disability, illness and behaviour of user in HSC
There are several and different terms related to the health and social care services. Mainly
the concept of health and social care is directly related to the employers and employees as well.
Moreover, these concepts make the user of health and social care very conscious about the services
and make them to behave in a specific and effective target manner(Boote, Baird and Sutton, 2011).
Mainly the misunderstanding regarding to the concepts and the healthcare services may harm the
aims and objectives of the health and social cares services. Analyse the main concept of health and
disability, illness and behaviour which is given below: Health: Health of the patients is the major issue in health care sectors and affect their
services in many ways like demand of the patients, employer services, employees
satisfaction and more. World health organization states the main concept of the health is " A
state of complete mental, physical and social well-being not simply the absence of sickness
or unfitness. In the absence of illness some people means that the person who has no disease
is situated as a healthy person. Disability: In NHS person with disability is mainly describes in the way of having the long
term physical, mental, intellectual damage and those who are not able to interact with other
person and participating the social events as well. Disability is not only a specific health
problem but also reflects the interaction of the person's body and the features of the society
as well. To overcoming this disability problem health and social care create the environment
to remove the social barriers and cultural effect as well.

 Illness and behaviour of user: Illness is a matter that vary from person to person and affect
the personal emotions. Mainly the concept of illness plays a vital role to improve and
diagnose the sickness and long term disease. The behaviour of the patients mainly define in
the way that how patient monitor their body. analyse the symptoms and take the immediate
action to diagnose that specific disease with the help of health care services and the systems
as well.
1.2. Perception of specific needs have changed overtime
This topic includes the need of the patients have changes overtime, Moreover it mainly
consist the belief, values and the demand of the patients will change according to the world changes
(Kemp, Griffiths and Lovell, 2012). Hence, the perceptions of that specific needs is also changed
over the time when the technology and the demand of the patients changes with time. As an
assistant in health and social care sectors, will has the responsibilities towards their patient and use
the specific tactics to improve the health of the patients. One of the important and greatest challenge
taken by the assistant is that to procure the facilities to their patients. The changes of the social
customs and the culture trend will importantly change the perceptions of the needs of the people.
Moreover, the philosophical changes also affect the needs of the people and change their perception
towards the health care services. It has been identified that people with different learning disorders
have some specific needs from social care workers. The people with disability can lead towards
diverse groups in relation with age, disability degree and other associated problems. In addition to
this, it can be said that number of legislative aspects are being introduced by authorities in order to
overcome such kind of issues. By having an application of methods in regard to long term health
care standards the issues can be resolved.
In health and social care sectors, sometimes the person who has the specific needs and
requirement regarding to the provided services of healthcare, is more vulnerable, harm and abuse3
by the other people of the community. Patients may have the problem regarding the services which
provided by the healthcare sectors and because of that their needs changes accordingly. Peter suffer
from the Cerebral Palsy which is bi-polar affective disorder and the requirement of patients who are
suffering from that particular disorder are also changes over the time. For this case scenario NHS
has to be follow the procedure to improve the providing services in an effective manner and help
their patients in procure the disease.
1.3 Impact of legislations and policies, society and culture on the HSC services
The legislations and the policies can directly affect the procedures of the healthcare sectors
4

and has the great impact on the patient's demands and the growth rate of the health sectors as well.
People who has the specific needs then the environment of the particular zone is also affects the
services which provided by the healthcare sectors.
In addition to this, it can be stated that there are diverse acts which need to be referred
effectively such as Health Act 1999, Care Trust, Children Act, etc. By having an application of such
measures the issues can be resolved in desired manner. Children Act is protect children and adults
from some unwanted issues like, child labour, etc. With an application of such values the health care
standards can be advanced effectively. Government is also having continuous improvement in the
process by having changes in standards of care trust. It allows to meet key goals and objectives in
desired manner.
Social policies has the great impact on those people who has the specific needs and the
demands. Social policy mainly includes the values, norms of the society which is directly connected
to the culture of society. This culture and society cannot be ignored by the healthcare sectors and the
patients as well, and this culture also provides the possibility to own the services which people
needs. There are number of government rules and legislations to promote the rights of the people
who are suffering from the disability and bi-polar affective disorder in the UK. Some of these factor
includes the act like equity act, disability discrimination act, special education needs or more. These
acts plays a vital role to improve the services of the healthcare and increase the demand of the
patients as well. For Peter and his family this rules and regulations are play most important and
effective role in improvement of his health and survival from the Bi-polar disorder, in the way of
applying effective rules, laws and the policies and more. In health and social care sectors special
rules and regulation has been made for the development of the services and provide the equal
services to all the patients or opportunities for children who has the special needs.

with Mr. JC because of their aggressive behaviour and anger. The social workers are majorly
affected by their behaviour and aggressive nature of the patients. The stress and pressure of the
related work will make the staff frustrated about their job and they are not supposed to do the work
