INTRODUCTION
It is very likely, that the professional development and personal development of an individual at
the workplace contains certain roles and responsibilities. It has been stated that Personal
development covers a range of activities which identifies the potential of the individual. It also
builds human capital and improves identity and quality of life. The major contribution of the
personal development access on fulfilling dreams which undertake an entire course of the
person's life (Mitchell, et al. 2012). While accounting for professional development it targets to
obtain academic degrees for formal coursework. It has been described as the intensive and
collaborative stage at which several approaches are introduced. Some of them are -
communities of practice, consultation and coaching along with technical and mentoring
measures.
A wide variety of people and their professions are engaged in the progression of the career
regulated requirements. The study involves the concentration of personal and professional
development through identification of roles and responsibility of an individual towards their
workplace (Bowling, 2014). The information can be gathered through developing the personal
and professional development plan. The report ensures the ethical aspects that are necessary
to be followed by the care practitioner/ Childcare worker at the health and social care
workplaces.

Portfolio assessment: Task 1
INTRODUCTION
The assessment provides the personal values and principles that contribute to supporting the
individual at their workplace has been portrayed in the study. The cultural practices and
experiences that are attained can support clients and colleagues at the workplace are to be
discussed. The changes that are prudential for assessing the specific job roles with certain skills
are identified. Health and social care workplace provide an appropriate platform to understand
the principles of supported working.
BODY
The profile of Jerusalem Berhe is presented in the entire study. The developmental stages
essential for understanding the personal and professional state of the individual in health and
social care has been mentioned (Stuart, 2014). Jerusalem Berhe has worked at different
professional organization but the current profile access on the role of Nanny working in the
private organization
1.1
The level 3 qualified childcare worker who has been working for 3 years in the health and social
care promotes the rights and dignity of the services. The personal values of Jerusalem Berhe,
possess the ability to remain calm under high pressure. It has been experienced that his
behavior with children is too caring and supportive. He promotes the rights and dignity of
service users. Currently working as Nanny in Private Health and social care at Putney Fulham it
is necessary to provide personal care to the children between ages of 2-4 years. The current
work roles of the individual are set up the activities for children and in meantime include
London site visits and library and Museum daily accessible in activities plans. Further, it also
includes children affair and preparing meals for them (Gunasekara, et al. 2014). Nevertheless, it
has been concerned that the adequate fulfillment of professional duties that are very
4

supportive provides experiences to face difficulty in past. As per my experience, the
contribution to the professional skills and abilities are believed to be observed on the basis of
past experiences. Previously, Jerusalem Berhe was working as the sales assistant at Iceland
Food Store limited which has enhanced the customer service skills. Later on, gained experience
as sales Advisor which has customized the way of maintaining several responsibilities and
working under pressure. The British Home Stores PLC, London has developed the skills to train
the staff and remain calm and approachable to the customer and be friendly with them. It has
helped in growing the skills to set the security and providing personal care to the children has
been promoted (Stuart, 2014). The number of the service users is less than 100 in a month.
Therefore, Personal values include beliefs and preferences that have shaped the prospect of
the person. It has also impact on the political perspectives of a person’s experience. It is
important to point to the personal values as it has a mark to certain changes throughout the
lifespan. Thus, it has been factual that principles of support for working in health and social care
are designed to provide the difference between the support of health and social care with
personal values and their principles.
The principle for working supportively in health and social care industry articulates on the
concept of equality and love for humanity. It has been observed that the individual also
promotes the dignity and rights of the service users. This avail the chances of upgrading the
medical needs of the people (Bowling, 2014). The principles and values generally overlap with
each other. Thus, it is necessary to idealize the personal skills and qualities in order to improve
the patient’s satisfaction and engaging staff with to attain the significant collaboration among
them.
1.2
Cultural background can influence the practices that are performed in health and social care
workplace. It is essential to identify a direct impact on the personal culture and experiences
that are gained to promote the services that are provided to the users. The cultural values and
norms basically coincide with those of the health and social care environment (Mackenbach,
2012). It has been believed that the primary concern and well-being of the children must stand
