Health and Social Care: Promoting Positive Behaviour and Interventions

This report focuses on promoting positive behaviour within the South Care Group, a health and social care setting. It examines relevant legislation concerning restrictive interventions, defining various interventions used to promote positive behaviour and emphasizing the importance of implementing the least restrictive intervention first. The report differentiates between proactive and reactive strategies, highlighting the significance of a person-centred approach. It outlines best practices for promoting positive behaviour, identifies types of challenging behaviours, and details steps to maintain dignity and respect during challenging incidents, as well as how to check on the well-being of an individual following such incidents. The report emphasizes the need for the South Care Group to evaluate strategies and policies to convert negative behaviours into positive ones, ultimately enhancing the welfare of individuals.

Promote Positive behaviour

INTRODUCTION
Positive behaviour of health care individual support to a patient in order to recover the
health of an individual. Thus, it is important to promote the positive behaviour so that better and
suitable gains lead to maximise (Caprara and et. al., 2014). This project is based on South care
group in which positive behaviour need to get promoted. For this context, understanding of
restrictive intervention is essential in present context as well as in near by years as well. Along
with this, proactive and reactive strategies will lead to underpin so that positive behaviour get
enhance. With this essential, responses to incident challenging behaviour get underpin properly.
TASK 1
P1 Identify legislation in relation to restrictive interventions in health social care or early years
Legislations play an important role in order to maintain and promote positive
interventions so that better and effective working get promoted. Thus, various legislations which
need to understand by HSC in regards with restrictive interventions are stated as follow:
 Education and inspection act, 2006: This act signifies that management need to
underpin all restrictive forces in an appropriate and suitable manner and try not to use
them which lead to harm an individual.
 Health and safety act, 1974: Another legislation which standardise with working is
health and safety act in which management need to ensure that their own as well as
others safety is promoting or not. This enable in gaining better environment to live in so
that chances of effective responses become possible (Chand and et. al., 2013).
P2 Define interventions which used to promote positive behaviour in health, social care context
Intervention is a kind of involvement which used to take by health and social care users
so that others health lead to get improved. Thus, for making a keen intervention, it is essential to
use FBA which stands for functional behaviour assessment. Thus, positive behaviour support
plan begins with FBA which need to include by HSC in order to work positively and
appropriately so that better and efficient gain could be accomplish. Thus, FBA is a kind of
intervention which lead to support in understanding of cognitive and communication disability of
an individual so that better and effective gain could suppose to be accomplish in a better suited
frame.

P3 Process of implementing the least restrictive intervention first should always be used
It is important in health and social care provider to understand the concept of restrictive
intervention properly as well as follow a definite step in a suitable frame (Coren, and et. al.,
2013). Thus, for a well bring, process of implementing the least restrictive intervention is must
which define as follow:
 A first and initial thing associated with the process is to compliance with legislations.
This enable them to work on the basis of define laws so that effectively services get
deliver
 By providing and promoting positive behaviour, chances of risk get minimise to oneself
and others so that recovery get done in earlier terms and not going to take much time
 Maintain suitable and appropriate behaviour with each and every user and deliver quality
services as per the need and requirement
P4 Explain why safeguards must be in place if restrictive physical interventions are used
Safeguard define as a process in which appropriate steps lead to carried down to prevent
something undesirable. Thus, in health and social care context, restrictive intervention is must
because at such course, mentally disable people get treated and they are much able to reflect
harm to any individual. Thus, in restrictive physical intervention, management need to prevent
the use of excessive use of forces which further impacted on an individual health. Along with
this, injuries need to prevent in a suitable and appropriate frame.
Along with this, compliance with legislations, code of practices is another suited thing
which need to understand by management properly so that better and sufficient gain become
possible. Thus, safeguard must be in place properly so that restrictive physical interventions
could be minimise (Jepson and et. al., 2010).
TASK 2
P5 Explain the difference between proactive and reactive strategies
In health and social care context, there are mainly two major strategies lead to get
involved which need to understand by business managers properly. Thus, a major difference
between both of them are stated as follow:
Proactive strategy Reactive strategy
These strategies get framed before actually These strategies get formed once the problem
2

problem or issue get arise which need to
understand to resolve problem
or issue get arise.
Chances of risk and problems are usually low
due to framing of appropriate and suitable
action plan
In this consideration nothing lead to get done
for a risk before it actually get done
It builds and act on strength of a working so
that chances of inappropriate factors get
reduces
It framed just to avoid weakness through which
chances of suitable gain become possible.
These two are the strategies which could be use by health and social group in order to promote
effective and appropriate services. Thus, with this consistence, chances of mitigation get reduces
as well as better and supported working get done and develop (Manzi, 2010).
P6 Explain the importance of maintaining a person or child centred approach when establishing
proactive strategy
Proactive strategy are such action plan which prepare in advance so that all risk and
problems lead to deal out in a suitable and appropriate frame. In this consideration, management
need to create person centred approach under which they are going to take care about each and
every adult. Although, they lead to enforce to create and frame better and effective relationship
so that suitable gain get promoted. In this aspect, HSC need to frame a suitable and appropriate
interaction with individuals. For this aspect, appropriate and effective proactive strategy lead to
develop. This will support person to get recover as well as effective environment could be frame
between each and every individual. Thus, this consideration reflect that person centred approach
is must with appropriate proactive strategy so that chances of negative influences could be
minimise (Mendes and Stander, 2011).
TASK 3
P7 Describe best practice in promoting positive behaviour
Their are various practices which need to implement by organisation in order to enhance the
positive behaviour which stated below:-
Formulation of such policies and practices which need to establish in order the assessing the
challenging behaviour of individual by service provider so corrective actions should be taken.

Effective communication must be maintained at the time when intervention made by service
provider at the time of taking crucial decision related to their life.
Adoption of ethical practices in their working operations so that proper adherence of all rules and
regulation related to welfare of patient must be maintained (Slade, 2010).
Another best practices related to planning regarding organising training and development of
individual who are mentally unstable and depress due to their unusual behaviour.
TASK 4

an incident of challenging
Different types of steps which need to be taken in order to maintain the dignity and decorum in
individual at the time of challenging behaviour situation which stated below:-
 It is important for service provider to analyse the whole situation before involving
individual in particular circumstances.
 After that it is vital for association to arrange all the facilities that satisfy the needs and
desire of service users (Taggart and et. al., 2012).
 The most depressing and irritating factors must be eliminated in order to maintain
decorum and peace in atmosphere.

P10 Describe the steps to be taken to check on the well-being of an individual following an
incident of challenging behaviour
It is significant for social and health care organisation to provide their services in optimum
manner which ensure the well-being both physically and mentally. In order to keep all the
operations in better manner a approach related to life space interview in which training and
counselling of those individual are done who are facing challenging behaviours.
All these measures done by service provider help sufferer to overcome from depressing
or unusual situation which also promote positive behaviour and growth in their life decisions.
Therefore, all the factors must be considered for the welfare of sufferer party (Wang and Stewart,
2013).
CONCLUSION
It has been concluded from the whole assignment that all the organisation work for health
and social care has to considered all the principles and legal legislation formulated by UK
government. South care group need to evaluate all those strategies and policies which help in
converting negative behaviour into positive one which leads to enhancement in welfare of
individuals.
