INTRODUCTIONThere are some individuals who requires extra care and help for conducting theiroperations because they are suffering from disability and any other health issues. Hence it isessential to understand their demand and provide them appropriate environment. Peoplesuffering from mental and physical disorder requires special help through which they canperform routine activities and can be competent to external market. This report is based on casestudy of Hannah. She is lady suffering from fascial weakness and learning disability withweakness in all limbs. There is requirement of special facilities through which she can achievegood goals in future. In this report, there is discussion about different perceptions of health,disability illness and behaviour of individual, impact of health and social care services supportindividuals with specific needs, approaches and intervention strategies which supports candidatewith specific need, strategies which assist to deal with challenging behaviour. TASK 11.1 Concept of disability, illness and behaviour in relation to health and social care for serviceusersConcept is defined as a thought or ides which is drive from a particular occurrences orinstances that help in developing understanding (Thompson, 2015). Health is the stage of bodywhich is free from illness and injurious and able to perform their actions in better and effectivemanner. Illness is the stage of mind which is not positive for the performing business operations.Behaviour is the nature which is performed by individuals in front of others. When individual issuffering from physical or mental illness, then there are possibilities that they do not performactions well and this makes challenging behaviour for individuals. It is important tocommunicate with them politely and calmly, so they can perform business operations in effectiveand relevant manner. Due to illness, candidates are not able to understand what is right andwrong behind conducing specific operations. There are two standards of disability i.e. primaryand secondary standards of disability. Primary standards of disability refers to some deficit which occur in functionality ofindividuals because of permanent brain injury. This affects educational life of individualsbecause they are not able to learn and implement in properly as per case of Hannah. This diseaseis measured through general intelligence, reading, vocabulary, spelling, mathematics, etc. 1

Secondary standards of disability is not the result of brain disease. But this is important topresume and make strategies through which prevention of understanding can be taken (Riekert,Ockene and Pbert, 2013). There are different categories due to which secondary disability isarised i.e. mental health issues, confinement, trouble with law, drugs or alcohol problem, etc.Due to this problem, individual is dependent on someone other and not able to perform actions indriving, employment, etc. MEDICAL MODELMedical model is the model which is related to health which assist in detected throughsystematic and relevant manner. This is the model through which business operations areaccepted and conducted as per standard format. There are three criticism of this model i.e.It supports false notion of dualism in health.This focus on biological and psychological issue and weaknesses.It assist paternalism rather than medication. SOCIAL MODELSocial model is disability which arise because of social reason. There is no reason ofindividual's impairment in this model. In order to deal with this model there is requirement toovercome with social issues. With dealing with it, there is positive impact on performance ofindividuals and they get free from any disability. It is recommended to that people must not be criticises despite of weakness they have asit creates disability among them. Apart from this health care centres must provide a friendlyenvironment where patients can be kept with due care and feel happy while they are havingtreatment in particular care centre.1.2 How perception of specific needs changed with timeAs compared to older days, there are more changes taking place in health and social care.It is important to understand changes which are specific and relevant in accordance to currentenvironment. Perception refers to the mindset fixed for some specific topic or objective which isdeveloped through the process of memorising and then interpreting the sensory stimuli (Poteat,German and Kerrigan, 2013). There are many different government policies such as establishingdifferent societies and organisations, making new rules and regulation for providing themsatisfaction. There are different NGO's and other organisations which works for upliftingposition of disable people. In 16th century, Christians have view that handicapped and disable2

people have to controlled by spirits. So they are bind by rituals and religious factors of society.In 19th century there was restriction over working of poor and disable people (D'andrea and et.al., 2012). So they become dependent on their and their actions are not relevant in current markettrends. In 21th century, trend change and policies are framed to improve condition of disablepeople. In this era, there is change and improvisation of legislation and legal aspects such aschange in beliefs and attitude. (Source: Public health action model, 2019)With change in time, there is difference in perception of individuals which affects qualityof services and other demand also gets changed. As per above mentioned diagram it is clear thatthere are some drivers such as collaboration, innovative, etc. which affects perception of patientsand their relatives. There are foundation principles which are the reasons for change inperception i.e. behavioural change, dissemination or implementation and lastly evaluation. There are some recommendations through which different aspects performance of healthcare organisation can be improved. There must be more friendly and familiar environment withwhich individuals feel satisfied and they are motivated to learn different things (Connell, 2012).There must be regular social activities through which they can learn about different culture andethical values. For future improvements, managers of disability trust have to create awarenessesabout external environment among employees, so they can educate clients. 3Illustration 1: Public health action model

1.3 Impact of legislation, social policy, society and culture on ways that available to individualsLegislation refers to the legal norms and code of conduct which has to followed as legalbindings. There are different rules and regulations which has to be followed for considered byhealth and social care organisations for betterment of candidates (Hayek, 2012). If health andsocial organisation does not consider these aspects, then there are possibilities of legalboundations. Some acts are discussed as under-Equality act, 2010- Equality act was enacted in 2010 providing knowledge aboutmaintaining and getting equal rights to consumers at same designation. This is the act whichcovers different aspects which is important to maintain equality at workplace (Moorhead and et.al., 2013). This act assist in improving situation through which individuals can get equal rightsand have strengthening position in organisation. Advantage of equity act is there is equalityamong workers and this makes environment of disability trust positive, hence consumers are ableto get friendly environment. While disadvantage is that in case of change in policies and features,then this affects core organisations of non profitability organisation. Data protection act, 2018- This is third generation act which was launched on 25th May2018 for making policies for more modernisation of regulations. There are many patients athealth and social care organisation having different goals. So it is important to maintain properrecord of clients and use it for official purpose only. There must not be misuse of it. With implementing this act at Disability Trust or Prince Trust Hannah feels satisfied andshe is able to achieve her goals without any problem of getting impersonal. While disadvantageis this binds organisations to use personal information and they are not able to plan somepersonal occasions for Hannah. It is recommended that in case of implementing these polices and act, there isrequirement of expertise personnel who provides knowledge about up- gradations and thenmaking policies in order to understand complete task.89105TASK 22.1 Analyse the care needs of individuals with specific needsCare needs refers to the treatment which individual requires through which treatment isprovided in order to deal with their physical and mental health.
