.INTRODUCTION
Health and social care is a area which is growing and it emphasise on health promotion in our community as it
helps in increasing demand for the different practitioners. In the organisation, employees have to offer the best
services to patients which will help in improving their health and it is connected to social structure along with
experience (Health and Social Care, 2017). They have to systemically articulated with the different meaning as well
as practices. Health is a practical concept and it includes the different medications as it is having a influence of
modern medicine as well as conceptions which assist in containing the proliferation of meanings which is related
with the health. Teamwork as well as communication is necessary so that they can ensure improvement on
continuous quality as well as process along with the outcome measurement. Various advantage also include on
outcome based practice (Aveyard, and Sharp, 2013). It empowers the care workers so that they can deliver services
according to the needs and wants of users. Fundamental aim of this report is to explain the outcome based practice
and the way it can result in positive alterations in individuals' lives. In this assignment, I am going to discuss
psychological basis for well being. In organisation, there are various kinds of people who are having distinctive
cultures and it may affect their decision making procedure. I can utilize some adequate methodologies to meet the
health needs of individuals and it may consist of regular health check-up, development activities and so on. I can

cater training to staff members so that they can perform their tasks in an effective manner. Along with this, it is
required to continuously evaluate as well as monitor their performance. Finally, in this report, I am going to describe
that it is essential for me as a Senior to manage effective working partnerships with carers and in addition families.
Learning Outcome 1- Understand the theory and principles that underpin outcome based practice
1.1 Explain ‘outcome based practice’
This approach is designed so that care objectives of patients can be achieved in an effective manner (Aveyard,
2014). It includes collection of team work, advancement of quality as well as results which can be measured. It is
assumes a care and in addition support system so that people can accomplish wants of an individual. As per the
social methodology, which is related with disability and along with this it is always accept as a good option. There
are some concepts associated with this practice which are mentioned as beneath: Outcomes comprise of alteration, for example I have to concentrate on building self confidence which leads
self dependence. Outcomes help to maintain life quality and it is occasionally considered as a maintenance of results
(Leadership and Management in Health and Social Care, 2017). Outcomes are much connected with the procedure of having administration.
In the present scenario, care providers are embracing this methodology. As a result, they can easily attain their
patients care goals. Another name of outcome based practice is the management of results. It is like a collective
method which assists people and thus, they can get success in their work. This approach is effective if persons
know that how they can do their work in an efficient manner while they are formulating clinical way. Along with this, it
is not considered as a wastage of time (Baldwin, 2016). Additionally, with assistance of outcome based practice, I
can encourage employees and thus, they will serve better and appropriate services to the patients. Hence, they can
get positive results. This method is all about delivering qualitative outcomes to each and every person. Therefore,
they can live their life in a potential way. Further, this methodology has much importance in services which is related

with health and social care.
1.2 Explain how you critically review approaches to outcome based practice
Range
This may include:
1.2 Approaches to outcome based practice –
 Results based accountability
 Outcomes Management
 Outcomes into Practice
 Logic Model
Outcome based practice is like a maintain individual at middle of care administration and along with this never
impose any form of standard service to anyone. Along with this, it is totally related with providing the best results to
each and every person and in addition, assist them to live more satisfying lives. Being a senior support worker there
are many approaches which need to be used by me at workplace to improve working performance of employees if
they are not able to complete their work appropriately:
Result based accountability: It is very simple to use and this is a practical method which can be utilized by
company (Result based accountability, 2017). Thus, they can examine their outcomes in an effective and efficient
way. For the above stated purpose, I can use data and information which I can get with the help of public (Bao,
Casalino and Pincus, 2013).

(Source 1: Result based accountability, 2017)
Outcomes management: It is basically connected with quality of life and at gathering, it can be associated with
how people are feeling secured, healthier and so on. However, when it comes to the level of an individual then I
have to do my work in a systematic manner. If results are more effective then it will assist people to feel secure and
safe.
Illustration 1: Result based accountability

Outcomes into practice: Fundamental purpose is to provide advancement as well as information on health and
social care which is related with adults. Basically, it is a replacement of needs led methodology. It is associated with
immediate circumstances and it is much typical to determine evidence but outcome based practice makes this
approach easier. As a result, if I want to resolve any present issue then I can use this practice.
Logic model: This approach is used by the employers or managers so that they can easily examine their program’s
effectiveness (Bates and et. al., 2014). Best part of utilising this model is that it can be utilized when planning and
execution are carried out.

1.3 Explain how you analyse the effect of legislation and policy on outcome based practice
There are many laws and acts which mention to outcome based exercise and assists when there is any alterations
in well being and social care. Government has imposed an act named Health and social care act, 2008 so that they
can secure respect as well as dignity of people. Along with this, it is essential that each and every company that is
providing health and care services must follow this act. It may comprise of some examples such as care as well as
security of adults and their respect. It is essential for an enterprise to include results in their policies and procedures.
It is must for me to follow health and social care act at workplace as this ensures to secure health of staff members
effectually.
It is also important for organisation to follow Equality Act, 2010 in their business (Bigham and et. al., 2013). As per
this, managers do not make any difference amongst their staff members and patients as they have to deal with each
and every kind of person. Along with this, laws help them to maintain a particular standard in the firm. This act
needs to implement at premises because it aids to eliminate discrimination over there. As a result production as well
as profits of association will maintained.
Fundamental aim is to follow all legislation is that, I can assure each and every individual and along with this their
families that they all are treated equally regardless of their age, gender, colour etc. It will assist them to promote
balanced opportunities. It is considered as a regular practice which needs to be follow by me at workplace;
therefore, I will be able to maintain decorum at workplace.
1.4 Explain how outcome based practice can result in positive changes in individuals’ lives
As per this, an individual can cater support as well as guarantee to others, so that they can modify their life in a
affirmative manner (Britt and et. al., 2013). If I am using the best services then I have an appropriate control over my
life. This kind of method energize us to concentrate on variations which can create by me. By controlling each and
every thing, I will maintain operational activities effectually at working environment.
I utilize this method in my role while I am supporting customers to attain their targets and goals. It can be done in
various manners, first can be when buyers have their yearly review then I can discuss their future objectives with

them. Along with this, develop strategy for them so that they can follow it and employees can support them. As a
result, they can easily manage their extra work. If they are meeting their setted goals then I can help them to
achieve it within an appropriate period of time. For instance, if an individual want to travel so that he or she can
experience autonomous from labours. This all needs to be done at workplace by the superiors; thus, goodwill of firm
will get enhanced.
Very few person knows that how can write a plan which is more effective which will help company to take benefits
from competitors at competitive world. But involvement of each and every individual is essential, as they all have
some skills and knowledge which assist in writing an appropriate plan (Cherry and Jacob, 2016). An appropriate
needs to be formulated by management because it aids to provide guidelines to staff members and by following this,
they will attain coveted targets and goals within certain time span.
Learning Outcome 2- Be able to lead practice that promotes social, emotional, cultural, spiritual and
intellectual well-being
2.1 Explain the psychological basis for well-being
Well-being is a dynamic concept which consists of social and psychological magnitude and along with this
behaviour which is associated with health. Ryff scale which is associated with psychological well-being is like an
instrument that basically concentrates on examining various aspects which are like:
 People must have ability so that they can easily manage complex surrounding.
 Each and every individual wants their success and development.
 They want to attain specific goals and targets.
Ryff is a direct and like a short survey which assists to evaluate well-being psychological facto r (Cooper and Quick,

2017). This scale may comprises almost 84 questions which is for long term or may be approx 55 questions which is
related with medium term. Along with this, short form can also be used but it is not much effective as it is not reliable
and never can be utilized for assessment purpose. Rather than this, both are much adequate and involves a
systematic statement which portrays some areas, such as
 Autonomy
 Environmental control
 Individual growth
 Positive relation with other people
 Self-acceptance
 Aim of life
Persons can mark it on a scale of 6 and area which is marked as 1 represent that it is strongly disagree and 6
indicates that powerful agreement.
This can be used by counsellor for their final results to know the effectiveness of their counselling session.
Limitation of using this scale is that it is always based on self-reported assessment. The Ryff scale does not consist
of any type of charge but if any people demand about data then it may take some cost (Dickinson and O'Flynn,
2016).
As per me, this method is much reliable and appropriate as people can easily evaluate themselves without other’s
assistance. Along with this, by using this, I can also evaluate that I am achieving my desired goals or not.
Additionally, it provides growth as well as development in my career.

2.2 Explain how you promote a culture among the workforce of considering all aspects of individuals’ well-
being in day to day practice
Agenda is must while implementing well-being strategy at workplace. If it is followed by the Senior Support Worker

in an effective manner then they can easily improve their working performance. Along with this, it assists to reduce
absenteeism, labour turnover and many others. Things which are includes into agenda helps to cater motivation and
innovation, as a result company can improve their market share and in addition goodwill (Management of
healthcare, 2017).
Some of agenda items which is examined by me, mentioned as below:
 Engage higher authority in well-being and performance agenda: Top level authority can easily affect the
behaviour of their subordinates as they set strategies for firm. Hence, culture of each and every sort of
association is highly identified through personality as well as characteristics of their higher employers (Dolan
and Holt, 2013). Undertake an analysis of current level of well-being and performance: Survey can be conducted by labours to
set a particular benchmark, so that I can easily measure initiative which is related to well being. If
assessment is done on yearly basis, then it will provide growth as well as development and least useful thing
can be eliminate as it caters huge affect on revenues of company. Build a culture for well-being and performance: Organisational culture can affect the behaviour of individuals
who are working in premises. While developing culture which is connected with well-being as well as
performance, it always promotes trust and in addition psychological agreement. Many agreements are based
on the behaviour of managers.
 Develop ethics and behaviour that produce well-being and performance: It is necessary to create ethics at
workplace as it assists to maintain trust as well as commitment. It may consist of attentiveness, intellectual
flexibility and reliability (Enthoven, 2014). In company, every staff member has to follow ethics while they are
