INTRODUCTION
Under specific needs work as tonic for the individuals suffering from disability as it is
used in health and social care centres to describe people who require assistance for disabilities
which can be psychological, mental and medical. Further, this report analyses case scenarios of
health and social care who require attention of understanding specific needs. Besides, in this
report, the health care assistant will evaluate the impact of legal framework, social policies,
society and culture on the services offered by Heath care centres. Henceforth, the report will also
focus on impact of emerging developments on individuals and challenging behaviour on health
and social care firms (Kane and Kane 2013)
TASK 1
1.1 Discuss concepts of health, disability, and illness and behaviour of health and social care.
The under specific needs of health care centres keeps on changing due to revolution and
emerging development. Health care assistant of social care centres believes that macro factors of
environment affects the functioning of micro factors within the health care centre. Further, it is
very important for assistant manager to understand the concepts of health like, disability, illness
and behaviour of heath care centres.
Disability- It is partial or total dysfunction of body in which the body parts of individuals
do not function or react to any kind of situation. Moreover, there are so many people suffering
from many kinds of disabilities and cannot even recover. In contrary, people accept and live with
disabilities happily ever after. Henceforth, from past many years a development has been seen in
the society towards treating disabled people (McCarthy and Rose 2010).
Illness- The illness concept is completely different from disability as it varies from
person to person and it is based on perception and emotions of individuals. Health care assistant
identified that illness is a manner in which a person controls its bodies like by taking remedial
action, interpret their symptoms or use health care system to deal with illness (Kondo, South and
Branas 2015).
Peter who was taken care by assistant manager of health and social care centre was
suffering from mental illness which is Bi polar affective disorder but still the person was very
active and used to practice swimming every day.

1.2 Explain how perceptions about specific needs have changed.
Perception about under specific needs keeps on changing with the centuries and
development. Like, during the 18's and 19's centuries society used to think that disabled people
are unable to carry on the regular function and so they burden on families and were treated as
non-living things but with development and upcoming era, the point of view of society has
changed. Besides, the handicapped also do not let their disability harm their livelihood and living
standard (Karjalainen, Blencowe and Lillsunde, 2012).
However, the people suffering from bipolar disorder turn to be very lazy at times but
peter was very active and did not believe in rest. Further the person also continued its regular
activities like going to theatre group swimming etc. Peter was 42-year-old but did not want to be
dependent on anyone that is why he used to continue his every day activity which involves the
physical and mental attention. Moreover, the cerebral palsy has affected his hearing and use of
lower limbs but still he is very active and jolly kind of person.
Hence, the continuous development in technology provides the individual equipment to
manage their disability and to stand out with the society. Further, the case of Peter enhances the
thinking of individual towards Disability and illness as these are now in the minds but in reality,
the perception of society is changed because the disease cannot stop the regular lives in which
the humans have to cope up to manage and earn their livelihood (Martin, Lippitt, and Prothero,
2013).
1.3 Evaluate impact of past and present legislations, social policies, society and culture
There are many legislations which impact social policies, society and culture of health
and social care centres. The legal frame work of the country ensure that health care centres are
carrying its activities according to under specific needs of individuals. The legal frame work by
government of a country is also to ensure that the NHS are functioning properly in order to
maintain the health and safety environment for its patients and employees.
Social policies are also responsible for enhancing that the individuals are served properly
according to them under specific needs.
It is mandatory for every institution to follow the legal framework which involves various
health and safety rights of people related with it which are as follows:
The Equality Act 2006
The Disability Discrimination Act 1995
