1.1 Concepts of health, disability, and illness and behaviour about users of health and
social:
Various terms and notions are attached with social and health care service. Social and
medical service providers should clearly understand the different types of concepts linking to
the health and social care. Health and social care employees should do their work in a right
way by making out all the concepts of health and social care. Health and social care service
providers including with doctors, nurses like different types of social workers should make
conscious about the terms and conditions and help to make the behaviour of a patient party in
a target and positive manner. The aims of health and social care service should be affected by
the misunderstandings and misconceptions of the concepts of illness, disability, behaviour
and health. The conceptions of disability, illness, behaviour and disability are described here
concerning the help of the patient and their family who come to take service for their any
family member.
Health: health means naturally physical and mental total well-being of an individual. World
Health Organization describes health as a condition of a human being in which has not only
the nonexistence of infirmity or disease but also a state of complete mental, social and
physical well-being. The whole good feeling without the presence of any disease is
considered as a good health and who is in this type of health condition can be mentioned as a
healthy person.
Disability: the persons have disability having long-term mental, physical or intellectual
problems that can make barriers for them ineffective and full participation with others. Those
people need interventions to overcome social and environmental obstacles.

Illness: disease may differ from one another as per their personal emotion and perception.
The idea of disease helps to diagnose sickness and illness. Illness behaviour is a manner in
that people observe their bodies, interpret and define their symptoms and take remedial
activities.
1.2
The globe is growing towards the latest world by the advancement of technology. As the
beliefs, needs and values are changing gradually, the concepts of particular necessities have
also changed. If people does not fulfil their needs, they may be vulnerable to harm,
deprivation, abuse, exploitation and violation. These type of individuals can be harmful to the
society. These important and life-threatening result can effect on their psychological and
mental health and may have a severe impact to enter their collective human rights.
Sometimes, persons who have specific needs cannot access to the essential communication
channel through that they could know about their needs. It also may be that these individuals
are unable to converse due to disability, fear or stigma, age, etc. When they have no
protection and assistance what they need, they may be incapable of voicing their complaint.
The concepts of the particular necessities may have changed for some reasons, such as the
changing trends and social customs have changed the concepts of the individual needs of
people suggestively. The conceptions of special needs have been made changeable by the
philosophical alteration of the characters.
1.3

the social and health care patients with particular needs. Many factors make the atmosphere

of social and health care service to serve the patient party. The effects are described vividly
by the Health Care Assistant vividly.
The legislation of an atmosphere helps to prepare the available services for each and every
patient with particular necessities. The character of a given area will be blessed with social
and health care services to help the people if the legislation can ensure the presence of health
and social care.
Social policy: the social policy is responsible to a significant extent to ensure the health and
social care services which are available for people in society. The meaning of the social
policy is social values, norms and the other things which are compulsory for peace of the
community.

different types of people. The culture helps to provide the needs of the people and build the
probability of having services.
Task 2
2.1
The individuals who are oppressed and deprived need some intensive and extraordinary care
for getting improved from their situation. Health and social care organisations should take
special care to cure them who are deprived of their specific needs. These type of people do
not get the things that they required. So, the individuals who are engaged in health and social
care related work should be attentive and concerned to them and their situations also for
giving better treatment to them. A two-fold outlook is necessary to address those oppressed
and deprived persons according to the suggestion of Mechanic (1978). It is significant that all
activities and programs are decorated and designed in a particular way. This way takes

Health and Social Care
account of the attendance of groups which requires the particular necessities and attached
their worries. The mainstream of health and social care services for supporting the individuals
is to give protection to the groups. For ensuring the protection of groups with particular needs
may require a targeted reply according to their needs and vulnerabilities. This can be done
through individual referrals or community basis activities. Through the specialised care and
activities, Anis like patients can get recovery soon. Nilam also needs special care for her
hypothyroid to get well soon. She also suffers from depression as she takes care both of her
husband and daughters continuously. So she had the specific needs as everyone has the
necessities.
2.2
Everyone in the society should support this type of people who are concerned with their
specific needs. The person like Anis, Nilam and Nafis should be reinforced for the
development of the society and the ordinary people. The social and health care systems
should provide better ways and ideas to make their patients cure of their various problems
and anxieties. To work as a social and medical assistant for the people who requires specific
needs, every secretary knows about these types of individuals with specific necessities, and
they also know that those kind of people is naturally deprived of their legal and shared
services of the society. So, health and social care assistants should make a special
arrangement to serve the facilities them better, and a large size arrangement should be
prepared to build the health and social care system to be obtainable for those people. The
current systems are decorated with particular necessities for the patients such as_ counselling
and guidance and advice.
Counselling is a significant part of health and social care system. The persons who need
specific needs require advice sometimes to encourage and increase their confidence.

people who need particular necessities for supporting them in the society. Health and social
care assistants should give them direction and advice to improve their physical and mental

providing them personal development program. This program contributes to bringing them in
good condition and also contributes to adjust with stressful situations in the society in a
convenient and regular way. The personal development program is a new addition to the
elaboration of the persons with particular needs.
2.3
The social and health care system which is available in a special place and locality is a
significant indicator to assess the living standard of a particular place. The main fact is to
evaluate the importance of health and social care services in a particular area. The assessment
of the social and health care system which is available in a particular locality can explain
quickly the requirements and necessities of the given location. This assessment also helps to
turn into the much better place for the individuals living with specific needs. Evaluation
contributes to getting the improvement process and changes.

specific need
In order to meet specific needs, the intervention strategies are playing an essential role for the
individuals. For the successful implementation of the intervention strategies, the effectiveness
of the intervention strategies provides a solid contribution. Thus, in the case of overall
success of the intervention strategies, the evaluation of the effective intervention strategies
hold significance (Brown, 2005).
A mobile app for Autism: According to medical research, the screening app is very helpful
for the children with autism and it was proved by the research. Besides that, it can be notified
that the systems and technology both are very effective (Saini, 2016).
Development and behavioural interventions: A huge and diverse scale of educational

the world. Besides that, the service based interventions additionally include some supporting
people along with autism in their educational system, social care services and employment
(Shimp and Andrews, 2012).

biomedical problems can be reduced and stopped for instance gastrointestinal abnormalities,
detoxification, immune dysfunctions and nutritional imbalances or deficiencies (Koslow,
2009).
3.3 The potential impact of emerging developments on support for individual with
specific needs
In the case of emerging development on support for specific need fulfilment of the individual,
the role of health and social care workers is one of the key element. Besides that, the effective
service and support can easily reduce the bad health conditions and problems of the
individuals (Taormina and Gao, 2013). On the other hand, the encouragement from the
society to the individual can also be considered as a strong support which develops and
improve the mental condition of the individual in order to meet specific needs. In addition,
the total service of the health and social care is very much influenced by the development and
changes which appear in the behaviour of the individuals (Koslow, 2009). Some major and
potential impacts of the emerging evolution of the support for the individual with specific
needs are listed below:
A large group of the society needs to provide the advantage by taking active participation.
Through both way like mentally and physically, the individual will be benefited with specific
needs.
With a specific end to get, the individual will get job opportunity and other essential services.

Page 12 of 17

Health and Social Care
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities represents
individuals with incapacities as: 'the public who have complete deal mental, physical,
academic or unmistakable blocks which in a joint effort with various limits may deter their
full (Koslow, 2009). Thus, capable eagerness for the general populace eye on an analogous
commences with others' The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities. A huge and diverse scale of educational strategies, techniques and programs are
included in the development and behavioural interventions. Besides that, Testing behaviour
which usually baptised behaviours which challenge organizations is portrayed as "socially
unordinary behavior(s) of such authority, reiteration or length that the material wealth of the
individual or others is placed in real peril. Thus, behaviour which is most probably going
beyond what many would consider likely or deny access to the use of standard assembly
factories". With the help of social stories and comic strips, the understanding among autistic
people can be increased. In addition, the normal health and service based interventions
mainly include a wide range of therapies and treatments which are used and accepted by the
major and famous health care professionals in all around the world.
Typical sorts of challenging behaviour fuse self-harming behaviour which includes hitting,
scratching, biting, head butting. The emotional behaviour also includes some aspects of
hitting others, kicking, chewing, scratching others, head butting, punching, spitting and
yelling. Besides that, the uncalled for sexualized behaviour includes serious issues as open
masturbation or receiving. Moreover, behaviour collected at the property including hurling
articles and taking and stereotyped behaviours also include dull shaking or echolalia. Every
so often it happens that the over-all population with specific needs won't have the
introduction to the obligatory mail channel to the Peoples with specific wants won't have
passage to proper mail channels to make their supplies known(Mamen, 2007).

4.2 The potential impact of challenging behaviour in health and social care
organizations
The challenging behaviours of the customers of the health and human lookout out for the
health and social care association to adjust to and adjust. In addition, the health workers are in
an issue to regulate to these subjects. In this way, the health specialists terror the jeopardies of
the health workers to complete their work in a graciously comfort and supportive way. On the
other hand, the world is proceeding to a more current world. Also, these challenging
behaviours of the clienteles of health and social care save them distant from the organizations
of the health and social care. Along with that, the qualities, spirits and need of the all-
inclusive communal are emerging in like way. In this manner, the viewpoint of specific wants
has changed essentially after some time. Individuals with exact needs may be more delicate
against adversity, hurt, abuse, maul and infringement than different people in a
meeting(Mamen, 2007). Moreover, the likely impact on the testing behaviours of the health
and social care associations are as follows-
“The connections may totally consider and finished over to do their jobs
“The health pro may texture issues to adjust to the challenging behaviors of the patients and
the clients of the health and social care
“The health labours may touch discouraged in light of the testing behaviours of the patients
4.3 Analysis of the strategies for working with challenging behaviors associated with
specific needs
The all-inclusive communal with specific requirements are the honest stress of the health and
social care governments of UK. Next, unparalleled viewpoints and practices should be taken
up to ensure the execution of the supplies related to the overall populace with specific needs.

Health and Social Care
Similarly, the testing behaviors of the general population with specific needs may improve in
contradiction of the health and social experts. In this way, the previously quantified
philosophies and techniques for occupied with testing behaviors of the patients and clients of
the health and social care have captivating ultimate consequences. The word biomedical
includes a very loose term that varies person to person. In the case of practice, in order to
refer a group of interventions, most of the people use the term of biomedical. Moreover,
through simple and technical interventions, the rights and needs of physical disable people
can be supported and provided by the society as well as health care centres. Besides that, as
suggested by National Autistic Society, some of the interventions and approaches exist for an
individual including specific needs in order to help them(Schneider, Avis and Leighton,
2007).
“The methods are accepted to be powerful all around
“Some of the parts of the approaches should be promoted and familiar with the necessities of
the altering society
“The agendas should be pleasanter to both patients and health workers.
“The junction of the bases should be the patients and afterwards the employee
