Code of Practice
Concept of health, disability, illness and behaviour:
Health as well as social care services is considered to be as significant aspects in lives of people living in
society. But with the passage of time, the perception of people regarding the services provided by
health and social care institution has changed. Earlier, an individual used to visit health and social
care institution until and unless there is urgent need. But with the increase in awareness health
awareness, people visit hospital for routine body check ups and they have understanding about the
living healthy life. In context of Mr. Simon and his family is required to keep themself about the
importance and health and social care. Mr. Simon needs to visit hospitals for routine check-ups. As
it has been identified from the given case study that Mr. Simon is suffering from deadly disease
name as Parkinson disease. So he requires special care as well as treatment which will help him in
improving his health (Colosio and et. al., 2017) Mr. Simon is suffering from deadly disease and he
tends to forget a lot of things which he used to do every day. In addition to this He is also suffering
from visual impairment as well as also has hearing problem .Due to deadly disease Mr. Simon is

facing difficulty in performing routine activities. Parkinson's disease has negative impact on the
quality of life. The several symptoms of the disease might have adverse influence on the behaviour
of an individual. It is required by medical staff in an organisation to develop the understanding
about the needs of patient suffering from such kind of disease and gain knowledge about the
symptoms of Parkinson's disease. As this activity will assist medical professional in providing
appropriate treatment as well as suitable care to patients (Grasso, 2016)
How perceptions about specific needs have changed.
The development of perceptions have been deeply affected by the practices that are been faced by the
individual. Thus, the organisation will look after the better handling of the operations that will help in
better growth and development of the organisation that will help in better rise in compatibility of the
health and social care organisation. In the previous period, people used to be absurd and unaware about
the seriousness of Parkinson disease. But with the advancement of technology and increase in
knowledge, people and workers in the health care have gained a good knowledge about the diseases
and the issues related to it (Thompson, 2015). Thus, such condition is required to be handling in a better
way.
Also, the people have grown aware about the health concerns and thus, unlike to those in older days,
now take more care of their health and well-being. This will help in suitable rise in compatibility of the
health and medical care operations that will help in suitable rise in functional capability of the firm.
Other than this, the development of a good perception will support a good building of a better
relationship that helps medical workers and employees for a good rise in trust level and effectiveness of
their operations that will help in suitable rise in operational capability of an organisation (Mirowsky,
2017). The early identification of the symptoms that are been shown by the health and medical care
employee’s or officials in the organisation. Other than this, it will help in better prevention of different
diseases that are been taken in consideration by the firms. Also it will help in prevention of any sort of
stigma related to the condition of patient or diseases and thus will help the organisation which help in
suitable rise in capability of work force in health and social care.
Impact of past and present legislation, social policies, society and culture on the ways services are
made available for individuals
Various social operations and actions are been taken in organisation that helps in better rise in
compatibility of the organisation. Other than this, it will help in suitable handling of wide range of
business operation that will help in suitable rise in operational capability of organisation. Other than
this, the legal obligations and social policies will help in maintaining the quality and standards of medical
services that are been taken in the health and social care home. Some major legal obligations that are
been taken in consideration are as follows:
 Health and Social Act, 2012: This will help Mr Pen and his family to get the proper support
from medical staff of health and social care home. This will help them to that the proper
support and gain a good control over the operations that will help in suitable rise in
operational and service quality offered by the organisation in a better way (Green and

Thorogood, 2018).
 National Health Service Act, 2006: This legal obligation will help the organisation to manage
the health care requirements of the people in a better way. Mr. Pen and his family will look
after the better management of the operations that will help in suitable rise in service quality
and providing of a high quality services to the needful patients like Mr. Pen.
Other than this, the social setup plays a very deep and crucial role in handling of business
operations that will help in suitable rise in operational capability of the business operations in a better
way. This will help in effective handling of good business operations that will support a good rise in
operational capability of organisation (Glasby, 2017). Besides this, social cultural beliefs and practices

Care management has
designed the infrastructure
in such a way that it has will
be easy for patients to access
the wheel chairs and
important facilities which

Q7 Explain the approaches and interventions available to
support individuals with specific needs.
There are different approaches and strategies for the service users in order to full fill the basic
requirements and give them best treatment. As per the case with Mr. Simon Pen that they are suffering
from multiple disorders thus needs much attention and required to pay much attention in order to meet
the needs. Mr. Simon Pen along with that it will be more explaining. Along with it will be the more it will
be the more challenging (Batterham, Hawkins and Collins, 2016). Approaches and problematic
approaches is the one more enlarging effective for the service users enlarging process. It is the duty or
responsibility of the service providers to take care the needs of organizational behavior. Besides, service
users are not in the condition to take care of its self. For them, it is the full responsibility of service
providers to take care the needs of all service users. Apart from that, it will be the more challenging and
effective nature of things.
In order to take care the needs of service users it is important to adopt intervention strategies
for Mr. Simon Pen. Such as cognitive therapy was an important strategy to make attentive strategy and
positive environmental growth. Another, strategies of the service users to make sure about the things
which more capable and productive for the them. Another intervention strategy for the service users is
that to make them busy with some creative activities. Provide them full comfort level to make them
happy and feel confident. There are various senses were used in an attempt to activate his body
neurons. This overall activity will help to enhance the working of nervous system to hear in better
manner (Folland, Goodman and Stano, 2016).
Q8 Evaluate the effectiveness of interventions strategies used
for an individual with specific needs.
Intervention strategies used for the patient eyes upon moving the condition rather than
focusing on permanent cure. However, this activity is perfectly fine for the Mr. Simon Pen. Vision
impairment could not be cured alone by this therapy. This will help to reduce the mental tension
between the service users. Besides, regular or time to time diagnose styles are very much productive for
the body to take care time to time as per the health checkup. Besides, regular treatment and care give
better results to service users. Intervention strategies are the more effective and influencing factor in
terms of better performance (Olivier Tsimpo and Gemignani, 2015). More apart, intervention
strategies are very much effective and productive for the organizations. Apart from that, it will be more
challenging and productive nature of growth. Involvement of patient is the most important and
productive nature of growth which influence better things and better knowledge of growth. This gives
better treatment and growth. Apart from that, the pain in joints occurring to him due to gouty arthritis
was also taken care of and massage was given daily basis. The main reason behind the impairment could

also be the brain cell count decreases which affects. Along with that, it will be the more challenging and
effective in terms of better performance. Moreover, following intervention strategies become more
effective for the better treatment.
Q9 Discuss the potential impact of emerging developments on
support for individuals with specific needs.
For dementia, there are various processes or treatment which is practically incurable. But rapid
development is given great impact on the new area. Besides, it will be beneficial for the people who take
care the needs of service users (Quinn, Henneberger and Braun, 2015. ). As per the given case
dementia is the case where service user requires more care and precautions which helps service users to
take care the better protection level. Whichever is the productive and efficient in more productive
manner? Apart from that, it will be the more challenging and influencing. There are many families who
fails to take care the needs of their ill member who are the victims of ignorance by their families. This
will give negative impact on the behavior of that patients. Many of the doctors suggested that try to
make patient busy and involving some good habits such as connectivity with social media, make friends,
do better activities with good environmental growth. This process helps to keep calm the patient and
helps them in better manner.

Q10. Explain the different concepts of challenging behaviors.
Present scenario is the concept of better improvement and better solutions. Patient suffering from their
very critical process under which it is the duty of service providers to take care the needs of service
users. Besides, patient moods are going to be swing and more challenging situations for others as well.
Challenging behavior is the typical cases which are pretty common in patient which are referred to
health and social care units. Society will never accept those people who suffering from challenging
behaviors (St Drummond and et.al., 2015). Due to lack of proper awareness and lack of knowledge it
gives negative influences. Society needs to pay attention towards the positive thinking for the patients.
Besides, it also very much necessary for the organizations to take cares the needs of the organizations.
Moreover, it will be the more challenging to grab the positive nature. Challenging behavior can be
categorized into various categories like showing aggression, throwing stuffs on it etc. another
challenging behavior is people do sexual act in public which gives negative impact on the society. There
are many situations of challenging behavior is isolation and lesser time dedicated by the family. Some
old age people are avoided by their family members due to some their own health issues. They suffering
from family old age issues, mental ailments like dementia, joint pains, mental issue etc. they needs to
depend on others for caring and support. On the contrary family members are not enough capable to
gives time to them.
Q 11. Describe the potential impact of challenging behavior on
health and social care organizations.
Dealing with individual with challenging behavior is very much tough task for the every
organization. It will be given mixed impact on the health and social care organizations. A sometimes due

to severe patient organization needs to adopt various steps to handle the certain situations. Sometimes
due to one patient other members also get affected from those peoples (Stoddart and Evans, 2017).
In order to prevent those challenges, unit will need to take further steps in order to prevent the nature.
Health care organizations also need to adopt better options and employees to take care the needs of the
organizations. Further, apart it will also very much required for the organizations to take care the needs
of potential level of growth. Besides, improvement the condition of patient will also gives positive
impact on the behavior of the health care organizations. It will be the more challenging for health care
organizations to take care the needs of the organizations. Moreover, health care companies are needs
to be having more patients and effective learning process of doing more effective cleanliness.
Q 12. Finally, in the third you must analyze strategies for
working with challenging behaviors associated with specific
needs.
It is very much essential for health and social care centre to put the individuals with challenging
behavior in extreme care. They also needs to maintained best employees and treatments to have the
best staff members and employees which takes care the needs of the service users. It is the tough
challenge to take care the needs of organization (Young and Kroth, 2017). Challenging behavior
shown by the patient is the only way to express the thoughts they wants to express in front of the
others. Health care centers required to ensure patients about their best health treatment. For that,
service provider’s needs to take care the needs of them. They also need to adopt best optional making
task. Moreover, service providers needs to be take care of patients and try to identify the root cause for
that they suffers from the disability. It will be the more challenging task for the people who really needs
to get support from the their families.
