INTRODUCTION
Education is all related to the learning of theory as well as traditionally education may
reinforce knowledge in which individual already have a foundation. On the other hand, training
is totally different from education because it gives skill to individual for doing something instead
of just knowing about something (De Gloria, Bellotti and Berta, 2014). Along with this, training
is specific towards particular need, vocation as well as skills-gap. Moreover, through education
mainly theoretical knowledge will be gained but by training practical skills develop. This report
is based education and training it will going to discuss role of individual within it. Along with,
aspects of legislation, regulatory requirement as well as code of practices related to the own
responsibilities.
Most important thing which will going to discuss is relationship and boundaries within
teaching and other professional role. Apart from this, several other factors which included within
education and training session going to be highlighted within this report such as importance of
promoting appropriate behaviour, ways to promote equality and diversity. In addition to this,
benefits as well as limitations of communication methods and media used in education &
training will be highlighted. Furthermore, several other teaching and learning approaches will be
be explained which use for meeting needs of individuals. Along with this benefits as well as
limitations of communication methods will be discuss.
TASK 1 Essay
1.1 Own role and responsibilities in education and training
In present time, both training and teaching could be considered as some of crucial
elements that helps students in gaining knowledge in regards to a particular subject. Basically,
teacher along with trainer's role is to train on a particular subject, which may aid students in a
way which actively involve and engage the learners in every session. On the other side, it is also
said that both teaching and training are not enough but, learning is one of the crucial factor which
mainly pulls out specific results in specified time frame. It is being analysed that, some key
aspects of role and responsibilities as a teacher could be considered as, carrying out initial and/or
diagnostic assessments, clear communication with the specified learners, other professionals and
stakeholders, promoting appropriate behaviour and respect for others, identifying and meeting
learners’ needs, being aware of the support mechanisms available, organise educational
1

programs and to become reflective, and this could be considered as learning from successes as
well as mistakes too. On the other side, there are number of roles as well as responsibilities that a
trainer carries and these are training plan, timing of different training sessions, choosing the
relevant training methods, preparing the training materials and aids, conducting training sessions
and evaluating the post training session and many more.
1.2 Key aspects of legislation, regulatory requirements and code of practices related to own role
and responsibilities
There are several important legislations, regulations as well as code of practices which
have to be included within education and training. Explanation of these are as follows :-
Equality Act (2010), Main motive behind introducing this act is to protects people against
discrimination, harassment or victimisation. Along with this, Equality Act state that there should
be no discrimination within human beings on the basis of following factors such as age, gender,
disability, race, religion, sex, beliefs and so many. Thus, it is important for teacher or trainer to
implement this act within education and training so that equal opportunity will be provided to
everyone. Data protection Act 2018, This Act state that Data of individual have to be protected
and not disclose with other without permission. Along with this, as digital world is getting
develop so it is important for teacher and trainer to fit data protection law with digital age as well
as empower people to take care of there data. Because disclose of information result in creating
discrimination and several other unlawful activities. Thus, implementation of these legislation
within education and training session result in conducting overall practices within effective
manner and help in providing training and education in proper manner without any unlawful
practices.
1.3 Relationships and boundaries between the teaching role and other professional roles
Teaching is the procedure through which people's needs, feeling, experience as well as
intervening can be attended so they will learn particular things. In simple term, teacher is the
human being who assist people in learning something as well as they work in classroom. On the
other hand, professional is the term which related to anyone who earns their living by performing
an activity that need some specific level of education, skills as well as training. There is wide
relation within teacher and professional role because they both are working for developing skills
and knowledge of particular person. As teacher help student in developing creativity same as
2

professional help employees and other people in developing there skills as well as knowledge
related to particular thing. Thus, there is wide relation within role of teacher and professionals.
Along with this relation there is some boundaries also within both of them, teacher within
their profession are needed to maintain proper standards as well as fulfil their responsibilities
which is not just to learners but also for colleagues, institution and other area where they are
working as teacher. For conducting such activities within effective manner it is important for
teacher to set there personal as well as professional boundaries. This will set limits as well as
help in identifying what involve in professional roles. In addition to this, setting boundaries is
best way that use for defining professional duties, limitations and right of professional worker as
an teacher. When it comes to setting boundaries as teacher it is essential define duties and
everything that included in professional.
TASK 2 Brochure
Scenario
A school has added cap as a school uniform for all male pupils at school in order to
maintain uniformity at workplace. But, this implementation of this rule was not done effectively
as the school is consist of diverse culture pupil that includes Sikh boys too. According to the
Sikh culture male pupil studying in this skill was not wear cap as they are carry turban every
day. This develops indirect kind of discrimination at school because, school staff can not force
Sikh boys to quit their cultural value.
4.1 Explain why it is important to promote appropriate behaviour and respect for others
It is essential for all individuals who works in a teaching field to focus on treating each
and every pupil in learning area premises with respect. They are also required to follow some
basic behaviour mode so that surrounding would remain calm. With reference to given scenario,
it can be said that its mandatory for the school to give respect to the culture of every religion so
that better environment can be developed and parents of children can also feel satisfy that their
children are studying in right zone. It has been scene that the school has allowed Sikh boys to
follow their culture and moulded their norms accordingly. This has shown that appropriate
importance has been given to culture which depicts respect towards one another. Further, it has
been seen that this leniency of abidance of regulation in terms of culture has created
discrimination at school but, still it is essential for all sectors whether it belongs to academic
3

areas or other workplace every individual is required to give respect to every culture and cannot
force any of them to quit any of other norms which places negative influence over their core
religion.
4.2 Explain ways to promote equality and value diversity
There are several ways through which equality and diversity can be promoted. Some of
the common but effective way through which it can be done are understanding cultural variation
in language, provide personal values and beliefs, written communication, acknowledging
diversity in preparing resources etc. With reference to the current scenario, it has been analysed
that the best ways through which diversity can be promoted within the school is written
communication and providing high importance to values and beliefs of the individual so that
every one can understand its importance and give value to the same. It can be said that when
school has allowed Sikh boys to use their turban and with their uniform then this shows their self
initiative towards the support of diversity. Along with this, the same information can be further
shared to parents of individual in order to make them realise that the school is valuing every
culture and also giving equal priority in its following its norms as well.
4.3 Establish and sustain a safe, inclusive learning environment
It is essential for every teacher and academic associated people to provide safe learning
environment to all pupils so that they can learn effectively without being distracted with any
other work. For this, teacher as well as other staff of schools are required abide all code of
conducts or practices, school's policies and procedures, democratic approach, appropriate support
in mechanisms, identification of inappropriate behaviour of staff or pupils etc. This will help the
teachers in understanding whether the environment of the school fits to the pupil where they can
easily adapt learning. In context of given scenario, it is essential for the school staff to ensure
that overall environment of school is safe for children. This can be easily done by following
above stated all the measures so that appropriate learning environment can be created effectively.
For this, it is mandatory for them all to use democratic approach according to which equivalent
priority is given to all religion and culture. Along with this, the school staff is also required to
focus on identifying that actual behaviour of overall staff towards the culture. This will make
them understand any misconduct or wrong activity which affecting overall learning environment.
As a result, the staff can easily take some initiative towards the same and develop more effective
and safe learning environment for all pupil.

3.5 Opportunities for learners to provide feedback to inform inclusive practice
In FE college, there is one policy which introduce and it is related to male pupils that they
have to wear cap as part of there uniform. This is applied equally for everyone but excluding
Sikh boys because there religion requires them to wear turban. It have wide impact on other
people as such practices are indirect discrimination on the name of religion and belief. In this
situation, feedback is received from learner according to them it is important for educational
institution to implement such practices which will be followed by everyone without any type of
direct and indirect discrimination. As they should not have to implement such policy related to
dress code because it is creating indirect discrimination between Sikh and other people in which
religion and belief is consider as major factor of not following dress code by Sikhs people.
Thus, simply learners feedback is that college have to impose such policies,. Rules and
regulation which is required as well as normally expected by each and everyone person who is
part of that. So there will be not any type of discrimination in direct or indirect manner and
policies will be adopted by everyone without facing any issues. Along with this, no such factor
of like religion, beliefs, culture, cast and so on will be included for creating discrimination on the
basis of these in direct or indirect manner. So, respective educational institution should not have
to create this uniform policy because it is creating indirect discrimination between Sikh and other
people on the basis of religion and beliefs.
TASK 3 Report
1.4 Points of referral to meet the needs of learners
Learners are identified at the time of enrolment as well as initial assessment. Along with
this, additional learning support can be arranged through the related division within the business
firm. In addition to this, teacher as well as trainers should have duty to care towards the learners
who attending training, if learner have issues to share but that one is not in teachers or trainers
field, them would be pass the learner member into the relevant internal as well as external
service. Apart from this, there are several external services such as: financial staff, human
resource staff, careers department, housing, health and safety office, learning support staff, other
teacher and trainer, union staff, caretaker and many more. It is important for both teacher and
trainers that learner who is in-front of them are gaining full satisfaction as well as there needs are
5

also getting satisfied. When all these work together result in meeting learners need in effective
manner
2.1 Why it is important to identify and meet the individual needs of learners
It is important for teacher and professional to identify need of every particular learner so
that it will be fulfil in effective manner. So it is essential first to identify need and then fulfil this
so that need of each and every learner will be identified as well as get fulfil in better manner. As
in education area it is important for an teacher to analyse need of every individual person who is
sitting within class room. So that, this type of approach will be use by teacher which directly
satisfy need of learners. On the other hand, professional are mainly those person who provide
training for specific session for them it is also important to identify which area learner need to
develop their skills. In simple terms, basic reason behind identifying individual learner needs is
to fulfil them in effective manner. Furthermore, it will help in selecting appropriate approach
which help in meeting individual needs of learners.
2.2 Role and use of initial and diagnostic assessment in agreeing individual learning goals
Action of assessing something is known as assessment. Initial assessment in context of
education define the act of evaluating individuals needs and requirements. One of the main
benefit of this is that it help teachers in identify the current skills and competencies of students.
This help in plan future learning activities for them. In order to improve on everything, it is very
essential to first have proper and adequate information about that as this helps support the future
process. Assessment of skills of students helps both teachers and students as this guide teachers
about the approach that should be used to provide learning to that individual. Further, it is
beneficial for students as this makes them aware about the areas in which they lack. Overall this
process help both students and teachers to set future learning goals which then use as a
benchmark in order to examine the learning of student. Without initial assessment teachers
cannot identify the current competency of students which is very essential before engage them
in any kind of learning program. Overall, it can be said that initial assessment play a big role in
setting learning goals for the individuals. Absence of this makes the process of learning a lengthy
and difficult one.

2.3 Methods of initial and diagnostic assessment to agree individual learning goals with learners
It is clear that assessing needs of individuals is very essential as this increase the
effectiveness of learning process by clearly highlighting the areas of improvement. Various
methods are there that can be used by teachers in order to evaluating the current skills and
competencies of learners. Main methods that can be used by teachers to examine needs of
learners can be understood by following points:
 Meeting and feedback from colleagues: This is one of the most effective method
assessing skills of individuals. In this all learners take part in meeting and share their
opinions about each other’s strengths and weakness. this help learner in identify the areas
of their expertise and also make them aware about the areas in which they need to
improve themselves in order to fulfil the requirements of a specific role.
 Interview: This is another methods that could be employ by teachers in order to examine
the current competency level of learners in order to formulate a better and effective
learning plan for them. In this interviewer ask a number of questions from learner in
order to identify the level of their knowledge. Basically interview provide more accurate
results as this mainly a process of evaluating skills of learners.
 Focus group interview: This is the third method which can be used to examine learner’s
current level of knowledge. Under this a trained individual asks various questions from
the learners in order to aware about their views and specific knowledge on some areas.
2.4 Record learners’ individual learning goals
Every learner has its own learning objectives and goals as per the current level of
competency. It is very essential for learner to be first aware about the areas in which he/she to
improve in order to ensure its professional development. Evaluation of current skills and
knowledge is the first and most important step in learning process as this is the step which define
all the future learning activities of learners. It is important for teachers to be aware about the
current competency level of their student so they can plan and deliver an excellent learning
program to them and can contribute more in their learning process. Evaluation process help in set
the activities that help improve the skills of individuals and help them in perform their role in
effective manner.
