Observation log write up: (LO2) based on P3
Describe how legislation, policy (national and organisational) and standards are of direct
relevance to the health, care or support service practitioner
Policies are merely all the mutual relationship which helps in compliance of the law and also to
manage the safe health care practises. the state, local and all the central government varies to make
all the rules through the general public and their bis applied the safe measures through which all the
health hazards and the other overall agencies are incorporated. The organisation intend to make and
manage all the legal management and the consequences. The policies will help in managing the daily
operations and also to clarify and maintain the guidelines for all the desired outcomes. For an
example, UK Policy Framework for the Health and Social care Research helps in promoting and
managing the social care and the heath services which will attain and manage the care with the ethical
conducts and the work. Some other NHS policy are like the health and safety at work act 2003. the
major areas through which all the public guardian policy are being assigned with the violation of the
human rights and the civil areas through which the protection of other kind of abuse is managed.
The legislations which are regulated and managed in order to maintain the health and the
social care through which the compliance and the working is opted. Their is been seen that all the
health and the social care will be managed through the acts and the laws as by serving the legal duties
through which inequalities are managed. Some of the major areas are like the department of health,
public health England. This will maintain the laws and the general principles through which the
secretary of the health issues are aligned(Roberts, and Termuehlen, 2021).
The social value act 2012 will be a managed public sector through which all the environmental,
social and the other economic areas are considered. It helps in reducing the health inequalities and
also all the procurement5 through which the service in the contract is managed. The Care Act 2014 will
help in managing the local authorities through which the assessing the needs and the eligibility of the
people will be incorporated. Their impose the duty to take care of all the health workers and their
management and the general areas through which the work and the promotion.
Observation log write up: (LO2) based on P4
Compare national and organisational policy against national professional standards in terms of their
professional standards in terms of their impact on health and social care practice.
Professional areas and the standards through which the level of the competent regarding the service
of all the social and the health care is managed. This manage that all the nursing and the other
important areas through which clinically process and the other guidance in the clinical practise are
attained. This make the organisation policies to be manages and made with all the professional

standardised and their other guidance and working. The major organisation policies through which the
legislation is managed and the regulations are applied for all the enactment and the implementation of
the managed rules will be regulated.
All the organisational policies and the working through which the implementation of the national
laws and the regulations are being enacted in order to manage the national policies along with the
care quality commission through which all health social care. Strict compliance is mainly the national
policies through which the health and the social care sector through which the organisational policies
and their prominent health measures are being taken. Their are applied the professional health and
the other aspects through which all the prominent health measures and their working is managed. The
national policies and the practitioners manage the ethical and the legal terms through which the health
and the social care areas withdraw and manage the elimination of the non compliance with the major
areas and their aspects. Thus, the government will manage and apply the policies through which the
regulation of the social and the health care are attained. It helps in managing the professionalism
standard through which the decisions and the cations are underlined and the strict complacence are
achieved. Through all then strict and the other major regions their will be imposed the former nature
and the policies.
M2 Reflect on ways in which specific tasks in the health, care or support service practice
meet national professional standards within a legal framework.
The national and the professional standards are generally the organisational policies which are
being taken in order to manage the national and the other regions through which the health and the
social care is managed. For all the practitioner the policies which are being abided and used will cover
the professional standards in order to attain and manage the effectiveness and the legal tasks. For
example, there is been seen that it is the sole duty of the doctors that they take care of all the patients
and in case when they had given them the medicines or the injection then will make them to take rest
for a while and keep check on the patient (Bennett, and et. al., 2020).
D1 Evaluate all relationship between law and ethics and their general impact on
organisational policy with practice towards major protection of rights and
maintaining well being of all health, care or support service.
The ethics are generally the code of conducts and the moral practises which are been used by
all the practitioner in order to manage and make the work to be effectively done it helps in mandating
and balancing the ethical norms. The legal areas are the requirements which are needed to be
managed in order to attain and imply all the legal laws and the rules with the effective general
practises. Thus the equality act 2010, human rights act 1998 all helps in making the work to be done
for the protection of the individuals rights and safety.

aim is to manage all
the organizational
policies as in respect
of gender, race, caste,
sex.

national and
international human

rights law influence and
inform the equal and fair
treatment of others in
health, care and support
services. (Write down
your observation based
on P5, what you
observed the
practitioners do in light of
P5.
In order to manage the
equality there is served
top manage the Equal
and fair treatment
through which all the
individuals are treated in
an equal manner. The
human rights act 1998
helps in managing all the
non discriminatory rules
in order to remove the
gender, race, caste, sex,
religion. The European
convention of human
rights 1950 promotes the
strategy through which it
mandate the legislation
and the judiciary to be
unlined. As UK is mainly
the signatory of EHCR
they will be bound by the
association and will have
to manage the effective
rules and the principles
for the working(Bartells,
and LeRoy, 2020).
As while working
in the London Hospital as
an administrator I
realised that while the
patient is admitted they
directly starts the
treatment of that patient
without any delay. They
take the further details of
the person once the
treatment is undergoing
the main aim is to
manage all the
organisational policies as
in respect of gender,
race, caste, sex. As they
did not discriminate any
person while providing
the treatment. All the
doctors and the staff

merely focused in
managing the moral and
the ethical conducts
through which the law
and policies are
addressed. So while
analysing all this I
underwent that it is
important to manage all
the legal and the ethical
conducts through which
the rules and the
regulations with the
norms can be managed.
Hospitals will have to
manage and make sure
that they are applying the
human rights and are
following all the
guidelines and the rules
as the signatory of ECHR
in domestic level.
What challenges did the

face in ensuring that

safeguarding of service
users in their day-to- day
tasks? (Remember, the
informal discussion with
the practitioner focusing
on the challenges they
face in ensuring that
legislation, policy and
professional standards

are adhered to when
ensuring the fair
treatment and
safeguarding of service
users in their day-to-day
tasks)

Witness Statement (LO3)
A witness statement is used to provide a written record of students’ performance against targeted
assessment criteria. Anyone in the placement who has witnessed the skills being demonstrated can
complete this witness statement. It can be someone who does not have direct knowledge of the
qualification, unit or evidence requirements as a whole, but who is able to make a professional
judgement about the performance of the student in the given situation.
The quality of a witness statement is greatly improved, and enables the assessor to judge the
standard and validity of performance against the grading criteria, if:
 the witness is provided with clear guidance on the desirable characteristics
required for successful performance
 the evidence requirements are present on the witness testimony (this may need further
amplification for a non-assessor)
 the student or witness also provides a statement of the context in which the evidence is set
 the witness statement does not confer an assessment decision
