INTRODUCTION
The report is focusing on the development and the effective group practices which
includes the health and social care of the children and young people. It includes the impact of the
theories and models on group work practices. Different facilitation styles of the learning are
having impact on the learners mind. These facilitation styles include the group dynamics and the
lifestyle of the group as well. The report is concentrating on the methods which are used by
groups and Individuals. The learning styles are used by the learners and the participants are
engaged in the different group activities. Power and authorities are influencing group health and
the individual health and social life as well. It includes the conflicts like negative comments,
discrimination, threats which are affecting the performance of learners (Shambaugh 2017). The
learner need to monitor the work and review work of the group in the health and social care.
LO1
Analyses the impact of theories and models on group practice
The teachers are using the theories and the models which are affecting the performance of
the students. The tuck man theory is used by the group leader and the impact of the tuck man
theory is seen in the effective way in the group performance. Due to this theory the team working
in understood and the functions and responsibilities is divided among the different members
which are working in the team.
Explain how to form and maintain the cohesive and effective group
The cohesive group would be build by the establishing the mission and the look for the
diversity among the students which are working in the team. The team work is encouraged and
the strengths of the team members are used by the team members in the effective way. The team
members would give the feedback related to the work done and must communicate effectively
while working in the team (Rogowsky Calhoun and Tallal 2015).
How different facilitation styles are influenced
The different facilitation styles are influencing the behaviour of the students which are
working in the team. These styles include the group dynamics and the group outcomes as well.
The different styles of the students are affected and these are developing the team members and
the performance of the team members is improved. Life cycle of the group is also influencing the
result of the team projects. Because styles would develop their work in the effective manner and
the performance would be changed as well.

Explain why it is important for the students to be clear about the purpose and outcome
The purpose of the working and the objectives of the team project must be clear while
working in the group. The result and the outcome would affect the performance while working.
The clear subject and the clear purpose would lead the students in the right direction. These
would result in the expected outcome which was expected by the leaders.
Analyses the importance of the participant engagement in group
The students must be encouraged while working because the students would result
participate in the group activities. These group activities would create the effective environment
while working in the team projects. Through the participation it would be said that the student
are working in the team projects. These would raise the knowledge of the students and the social,
interaction would be increased as well (Shaw 2018).
LO2
Evaluate methods for utilizing the facilitating groups
The groups or individual need to prepare themselves for working in the groups. So the
learners are using the methods which will make the group effective. Mentally prepare the
individuals for working in the groups. The learners and groups must provide the effective
working environment for the students which are working in the groups. The right working
environment would encourage learners which are working in groups. Participation of the learners
in the activities which are been conducted in the groups. These activities would encourage the
individuals for participating in the group activities. The objectives of the groups must be clear to
the group members which are working in the groups. Expectations of the groups members must
be satisfied and all the facilities must be provided to the learners which are working in groups
(Tam 2015).
Prepare the environment for the conductive functioning of the group
The groups need to function in the effective manner for that the learner would need the
proper facilities. Proper space must be given to the members which are working in groups. The
space related to the working environment, paperwork and the cubical work as well. Lack of the
external space would create the conflicts among learners. Comfort must be provided to group
members which are working in the groups. The comfort would result improve in work
performance of the group members which are working in the group. The data would be stored

electronically which would provide the support to the learners which are working in groups
(Newton and Miah 2017.).
Work with groups and accept group and individual behavior
The individual behaviour is affecting performance of individual which include the
psychology, perception and personality of the members which are working in the groups. The
ethics and performance is affecting the members of the groups. In the groups the conflicts and
the working environment is affecting the people which are working in the groups. It includes
leadership theories, communication and power norms which are affecting the performance of the
students which are working in the groups.
Work with the groups for negotiating the task and way of working
Negotiating on task which are given to the members when they are working in the
company. Ways of the working is affecting the performance of the group members so ways of
working and working methods must be improved while working in the groups. The individual or
group members must have the listening skills because listening skills would not create the
misunderstanding among the group members. Proper planning must be done for the meeting
which clear the objectives of the meetings.
LO3
Use the range of the methods to accommodate and the different styles of learning in the group
Students need to adopt the changes and group must involve the different styles of
learning. Different style of learning includes conversation of the student relating to the subject
matter. Question the members which are working in the groups and provide the material to them
related to the work. Oral summaries would include the material and material would include the
data related to the questions which are been discussed in the group meetings. The lectures and
the tapes would be reviewed and analysed by the learners which are working in the groups. The
material which is provided for research includes the reading of the material which would
increase the knowledge of the reader which is reading the material. Material must be read loud
and clear so that the other members of the group would gain the knowledge regarding the
material (McCarthy 2016).
Provide the groups experiences where the participants are engaged and stimulated
Members which are working in the groups would need the motivation so that the
members would work in the effective way. The group leaders must make the environment

comfortable for the students but the group leader must look after the need of the students as well.
The barriers for students need to be removed and these students would be provided with
knowledge and leader must provide them choices for which they are working in the company. At
first the students need to provide the support for participation of the students in the work. After
these the leaders would be connected to the students which are working in the company. The
opportunities would be provided to the students which are working in the groups. The feedback
and the reviews would be provided to students which are working in the groups. Different
learning strategies used by the leader would motivate the students. Wide range of the
opportunities would increase the knowledge of the students as well (Johnson-Motoyama, and
et.al., 2018).
Intervene effectively and improve the learning process
Students need to participate in the learning process which would improve the process of
leaning. Students participation would motivate them and students would gain knowledge
regarding the work done. In order to imp rive the learning process students would need to
improve the learning process. The learning process includes the different learning styles which
are sued by the students in leaning process. Students must be encouraged for the group work
which include the learning styles as well. Group students or group work would increase the
communication among the students which are working in the company. Effective communication
would raise the knowledge of the students and the professional development skills would be
improved as well.
LO4
Demonstrate the practices of the facilitating groups
Facilitating groups are following the practices in the effective way like the students
would follow the practices which can be positive and negative for the groups. Some would do
the gossips while performing the work. These are increasing the communication but it is negative
impact on the group project. Some would work in the effective way, but they are not
communicating effectively. This is rising the conflicts among the students which are workings
the group (Harvey and Kitson 2015).
Support concerns and the mange the conflicts in the group
The conflict among the group members would be managed in the effective way by
looking after the problems and the let communicate these people which are working in the

company. Conflicts among the team members would affect the performance of the team and so
these must be solved in the effective way. The conflict are rising because of the negative
comments and the discrimination among the students which are working in the groups (Williams
and Chinn 2019).
Explain the challenges or the discriminatory behavior
The discrimination is done among the students which are working in the groups. These
discriminatory behaviour is promoting the students to not perform well in the task given.
Students are facing the many challenges and the students must work on the discrimination which
is done with them in the while working. The proper actions and the policies must be followed by
the students which are working in the group.
How to manage the diverse group behaviour
The diverse group behaviour is having impact on the performance of the students. The
students could use the skills and the abilities of the team members which are form the other
states or the other countries. The group behaviour includes the students and the students which
are working on the group project (Moran, Burson and Conrad 2016).
Explain the issues and the areas of the concern
The students are facing many issues and while working in the team projects. Team
members are facing various issues which are faced by the students which are working in the team
projects. The discrimination is done among the students which are working in the team projects.
The diversity of issues are faced by the students which are working in the groups. These would
include the communication issues and the health issues faced by the students while working.
LO5
Work with the groups and monitor and review the process
The students would be working with groups which includes the monitoring process and
the review process. The monitoring process includes steps like the completing the task and the
steps which are used by students for completing the task. Then methods used by students for
learning and the progress of the students on the learning process. Monitoring of the performance
would result in the progress of the students which are working in the groups. Monitoring would
be used by students which are engaged in learning process. Proper design must be made by the
students which are working in the groups. Proper feedback and reviews are improving the

performance of the students. These would result in high progress in the performance would result
in evaluation of the work.
Implement the systems and review the progress of the group
The system of monitoring would be implemented by the group, leaders which are
working in the organisation. These would result in the record of progress of students which
would include the performance of the students, methods used by the students and time taken by
the students for completing the task given. The deadlines would be prepared by the students for
completing the goals and the group leaders must also look after the deadlines which are being
used by students. The regular check must be maintained on performance of the students which
includes the change of the learning methods which are used by the students (Mundia 2017).
Effectiveness of the group in relation to identify outcomes
The team or the group is regarded as the effective team in the case of the outcomes of the
work done by the team is complete and in the complete time. The success of the team is
calculated and analysed by the clear idea and the clear objective of the work done. Team must be
able to fight competition in the market which would analyse the performance of the team leaders
and the team members. Take the note on the positive and negative impacts on the performance of
team. The meaning of the success must be identified and team would work in the efficient
manner which would improve the performance of the students. The health and social care of the
children and the young people are affected because the students or the young student would
complete the task as the skill and the abilities.
Reflect the strength hand the areas for development in own facilitating and groups
In my opinion it would be said that the groups are developed and working effectively.
These groups would be improved more by the effective working which would result in building
the confidence among the students which are working in the company. Skill and the abilities of
the students would be used in the effective manner which would be helpful for the team
performance (Brown 2018). There are various strengths of the team members like the team
members would use skills and abilities of the other members which are working in the team.
Learning can be made comfortable for students by the changing in improvising the learning
styles which are followed by the students.

CONCLUSION
From the report it would be concluded that the skill and abilities would affect the health
and the social care which are affecting the children and the Group members as well. The theories
and the models are used by the group leaders and it is giving the positive impact on the
performance of the students. The effective team work is ensured that the team members are not
affected by the issues. These issues could be team related issues and the health issues as well.
The sell the issues are solved and managed by the team member. The working environment of
the students while working must be accurate and the student would work in the effective manner.
Working environment and the facilitates at the work place is affecting the performance of the
students.
