Analyzing Specific Needs in Health and Social Care Services

This report delves into the multifaceted aspects of health and social care, beginning with an exploration of the concepts of health, disability, and illness, and their interplay with social care services. It examines the evolution of needs over time, highlighting the impact of legislation, social policy, society, and culture on the availability of services for individuals with specific requirements. The report then focuses on the care needs of an individual, Mr. Park, and assesses the current systems in place to support those needs, as well as the services available in a chosen locality. Furthermore, it details various interventions designed to fulfill basic needs, evaluates the effectiveness of these strategies, and considers the impact of emerging developments in support. Finally, the report addresses the concepts of challenging behavior, its effects on health and social care organizations, and strategies for managing such behaviors, culminating in a comprehensive overview of the subject matter.

Introduction
Now a day Health and social care is the concern for the people. Social care can be defined as
a social support given by any person or an organisation to children as well as to elders
especially at the time of old age or when they suffer from any health problem (Glasby, 2017).
In many countries such as UK certain abbreviations are used for it such as HSE and H and
SC. Apart from this, there are many organisations in public as well as in private sector to
prove these services (Rämgård, Forsgren, and Avery, 2017).
Many changes have come over the period in health sector. Earlier the people were not much
concern about their looks as well the health as, whatever the food they consume was itself
nourishing to keep them fit and healthy. At present due to the change in life style of the
people they face many health issues so, the importance of organic food products have
increased.
Over the upcoming years, health and social care will become the part of business areas. Now
entrepreneurs are eager to setting up hospitals, provide online services and medicines. Apart
from this many new technologies have also been introduced which result in overcoming
illness situation with the short span (Millar and Hall, 2013).
In this report, discussion will be carried on the health and social care. It involves complete
information in different parts of the report. Task: 1 it focus on the way people understand
disability and illness. Task: 2 it tells how needs of an individual are fulfil. Task: 3 includes
different strategies for the individual support. Task: 4 involve several ways to face and
overcome different challenges.
Concept of health, disability, illness and their behaviour in relation to social care services
Health- A person is said to be healthy if he is physically and mentally fit. Usually with the
time period when a person gets older, they require proper guidance to keep themselves in the
same position. Same is the case with Mr.Park this necessary.
Illness- it refers to the condition in which person suffers from a particular diseases over a
long period, which results in weakness.
Disability- whenever a human body is physically not fit to do anything such as movement
from one place to another, reading, running and so on. In the case of Mr Park he does not
have enough knowledge to enjoy a healthy life (Oliver, 2017).
There are many changes that come in the behaviour of the Mr Park noticed by their family.
Now it’s the responsibility of our service centre to help them to overcome their problem
(Conner and Norman, 2017)
Changes over the time in needs
Earlier not much importance was given to health by the government. Over a period number of
steps is taken by the government which include an increase in the number of hospitals,
providing medicines at low cost, different camps are organised and so on. The Family of Mr
park face many problems that can be solved easily now by steps taken by the government.
Apart from this many communities are there who are working to improve current facilities of
health and some rights are also given to the resident. ).People may have to face
discrimination on the basis of caste and colour but because of the rights given by the
government to these individuals they feel confident.

Figure 1 Needs at different level
Impact of legislation, social policy, society and culture on the ways that services are made
available for individuals with specific needs
Under the government legislation, many free health care plans are made. If we plans workout
then it will be a huge achievement for the country. There are many social policies made on
regular basis that can fulfil certain needs (Almgren, 2017). There are several ways in which
these needs can be meet keep on changing over the period of time. Today equality is give
high importance because to which there is no room for discrimination (Nonet, 2017).
Culture also plays important role in identifying what kind of care should be provided to the
person. Many times it happens that people living in the society have to face discrimination on
the grounds of cast, colour, creed, sex and so on. In order to protect the interest of ‘children
trust’ is developed. The main work of this trust is to develop policies, plans, for youngsters as
well as small kids (Moran, Abramson and Moran, 2013)
Task 2
The care needs of Mr Holland Park with specific needs
The condition shows that the adult man requires special treatment along with proper care and
affection although by the family support he is leading perfect life but still for the further
improvement further treatment is needed that organisation will provide.
Proper treatment should be plan for the patient which may include psychiatrists,
physiologists, consultant who can help in keeping strong mental status, therapist, nurses,
proper exercise, and so on (Crump and Hamerdinger, 2017)
First of all, it is very essential to understand cause of the problem because the number of
changes that came in his behaviour is because of the environment in which he is living.
Secondly, a man should try to control his temper with the help of good professional care.
(Brooks, Gerada and Chalder, 2017).
Disability is the problem with Mr Park. A person may become disabled because of any
reason it may be any injury, accident, rice in the sugar level can affect any organ of the body

such as eyes, ears, lungs, heart or any organ of the body. Over the period many changes have
occurs in UK and it can be because of which certain models have been introduced such as-
Ngai’s Disability Model – this model help to differentiate between pathology and functional
limitations. In spite of using word disability, we can use handicap as this will make the
situation less negative.
Institute of Medicines (IOMS) – a report was issued by the committee in 1997. Further, the
assignment was increased along with this it was stated that environment plays very important
role in enhancing and reducing the chances of disability.
World Health Organisation - one the development of WTO is ICIDH. ICD is formed to state
major disorders because the organisation understands emotions of disable people.
Current systems for supporting individuals with specific
needs
Self -directed approach-
From the case of Mr Holland Park, it can be said that many laws of the government are still
there to protect human and there rights. After the suffering of the adult man many strategies
are made to improve health.
Many steps are taken to educate the community so that specific needs can be fulfilled and
further it may lead to improvement in overall health. One of the best step taken by the
government is the combine working of several organisations with non-government
organisations, local bodies, social care segments of society, agencies and so on (Holloway
and Galvin, 2016).
Personal centred approach-
Proper schemes are designed to communicate as well as to educate communities regard help
and safety. The motive of government is to promote health and reduce the chances of
inequality among the people living in society along with that many public hospitals that are
run by the government are also allocated (Wager, Lee and Glaser, 2017). There are many new
health and social care models introduced although in starting many problems were there but
now ever this is going well enough (Burns and Firn, 2017).
Many laws are made by the government such as, Children’s act 1989 under this main act
focus was lead the welfare of children where as if we Talk about duty it focus on right ways
for the upbringing of kids. There are chances that Mr Park may get the injury because of his
problem of vision impairment apart from this might need help in doing day to day things such
as shower, food and so on.
The services available in a chosen locality for individuals with specific needs
In London people who are poor people face many problems. Low- income level people are
usually less educated as a result the do not have proper knowledge regarding health measures.
Discrimination is the main reason behind inadequate health services in London (Istepanian,
Laxminarayan and Pattichis, 2013).
To overcome all these problems, several measures are taken by the government. One of them
is primary care trust whose job is to provide preventive measures on time without being in as
argument with any community apart from this NHS centres provide information to people by

using telephone services. NHS mainly solves the problem, of mental health problems. These
problems may include worries, overthinking, tension, family breakdown, immigration
problem, many other external factors and hypertension and so on. Due to all these problem
people find it difficult to do day to day work of their life (Robson, et al. 2016).In December
2006 one strategy which focuses on developing an academic centre for social care.
This organisation helps people to overcome their situations by relaxing themselves from
reading a book, playing with pets, proper exercise, talking with new people, exploring
themselves and so on. These all the things take place under the professional and there
guidance.
There are many services are available such in our health and social care centre such as proper
facilities for hearing therapy, massage room, proper food facility, guidance for overall
development of body so that the body can gain energy again and so on. When all these steps
would be taken one after the other in proper order then it will automatically show positive
results. Thus it is beneficial for Mr Park should continue his treatment.
If Mr Park joins the centre, then paper work will be done so that proper transparency can be
developed. Moreover full treatment would be done as per policies, rules; regulation of the
government along with this centre would be responsible in case any misshaping occurs.
Task 3
Interventions to support individual in fulfilling their basic needs
Every organisation has some approaches as well as intervention with the help of which they
can take care of an individual in effective and efficient manner but still it is very challenging
for the people to survive the life with any disability. Most common approaches are-
1. Partnership - it refers to a situation in which group of individuals they may be family
members, friends, relatives and so on work together to run the organisation on smooth
lines (Glasby and Dickinson, 2014).
2. Risk management – it is the process through which a person can analyse in advance
amount of risk present in future situations so, that they can overcome the risk by taking
correct actions on correct time and grasp the opportunities present in an environment.
In health sector managing the risk focuses on protecting visitors, patients and so on
(Hjelm et al 2017).
3. Medical – it includes all those steps taken to overcome the problems related to
biomedical such as deficiencies of vitamins and minerals in the body, hormonal
imbalance, mental illness, kidney issues and so on.
4. Advocacy – many times it happens that minority groups are not given a chance to
speak but advocacy ensure that all the major issues of people should be head and there
problems to be addressed within a specific time frame. It also ensures that proper and
correct information should be given on time (Isaacs, 2015).
5. Way to live life – every person has its way to live a life, but it becomes a bit
problematic for the one who are disabling. Problems of such patients can be solving
with the help of therapies that is given under the guidance of professional experts
(Coughlan and Cronin, 2016).

Effectiveness of intervention strategies uses in health
and social care organisations
People who possess any disability have a different way to communicate with outside world.
They have they own sign language with the help of with they make other understand what
they want. Some basic intervention that are taken in the name of personnel cantered approach
to provide them relief in their situation and help them to adjust in society are given below-
 Counselling – since the handicaps know that it will be more difficult for them to do
anything in comparison to people so sometimes they get irritated. This further lead to
increase in their anger, frustration, loose temper very easily and so on. To overcome
there this situation time to time counselling is given to them.
In which a person who is expert in understanding human nature try to develop an
atmosphere where he can calm down autistic people. There is a number of sessions in
which it takes place starting from understanding the person and ending at solving his
mental stress or problems.
Evidence based practice may include-
 Physical activities – disability make the person so irritated that they indulge in
unethical practices such as hurting themselves by pulling hair, nails and so on.
Organisation provides a wide variety of physical activities like yoga classes and
proper exercise under the supervision of an expert. It helps to control the temper of
disable patients (Yung, 2016).
 Vocational – every person likes to be self-dependent and want to earn their own
livelihood in spite of been dependent on community so, vocational focus on
identifying the talent of such people so that they can work and earn their living. This
is the reason behind the positive thinking of Mr Park (Palatine, 2017)
 Improvement and behavioural – most of the time it happens that people with any
disability are left on a side and no one pay attention towards them nor their family
members neither the relatives and society in which they live. Proper programmes are
made by the government to develop ability in these people so that can show there
talent to outside world and get respect which they deserve
The potential impact of emerging developments on
support for individuals with specific needs
Earlier not much importance was not given to health sector nor was the society was much
concern about it. Individuals were involve in discrimination as a results, in hospitals also they
were not give poetries which results in late treatment, condition different in behaviour, no
special wards, wait for long hours in wait of doctors and so on.
Over the time span many improvements has taken place in health and social care. These
include adoption of advance technology, medicines, social care communities, educating
people about health and fitness, up gradation in government policies, procedures and so on.
Many rights are given by the government to children, adults and old age people (Berkman,
Kawachi, and Glymour).
Now social workers ha e started working more actively so that they can overcome miserable
situation in which people are stuck with in the short span of time. Results of the development
are quite positive especially in the areas of legislation, technology and medical fields-

 Disable people will get the respect which they deserve.
 Economic growth in the country will increase.
 No more divisions are made in society they treat everyone equally.
 More opportunities are come up for the people who are involved in this field.
 It shows now in the eyes of government everyone is equal.
 Now time to time new research take place which help in growth of health sector.
 Individuals suffering from any problem will not feel isolated.
 More and more employment opportunities will rise.
 Regard for the government will increase in eyes of the society.
 Feeling of equality will be generated among the people.
These all will inspire people to fight for their right in spite for feeling isolated and it is
important because if these individuals will not stand for themselves then only others will
come to help them (Conroy, Dale and McCaffrey, 2016)
Task 4
Concepts of challenging behaviour
Behaviour refers to the way individual deals with other. Sometimes it becomes very difficult
to deal with the patients who are difficult to convince. Every work involve some challenges
but if a person is able to face if they overcome these challenges then they can easily achieve
there pre determine goals (Cooper, and Quick 2017). There is different type of challenges
such as aggressiveness, mood swings, intensely getting injured, hurting others, high temper
and so on. Many reasons are there behind such behaviour such as irritation, separation from
family, pain, inability to express themselves, drug addiction, over dose of medicines, anxiety
and some socio-cultural environment factors.
These challenges can become easy by developing appropriate communication skills that other
person can understand, making them feel that they are also important part of the society,
treating them like friends not as patience’s and by trying to get things out of them because of
which they show so much aggression. Government have also given certain rights to the
individuals so that they can feel confident along with it no matter where ever they are they
can use health care services (McGill, et.al 2013).
As the case of Mr Park is complex because of multiple disabilities in his case so, if anything
goes wrong then organisation would be responsible for that. Even if an accident occurs
because of bit carelessness then family can file case against the organisation which further
can create job problem.
Impact of challenging behaviour on health and social
care organisations
Experts will face many problems because if any complaint is file by the family member after
noticing wrong working of the health care organisation then they can sue and it can affect the
overall image of the organisation (Bacchus, et al 2017).This is the reason because of which
organisation appoint councillor who during different session can understand the need of the
family and the individual (Leslie, et.al. 2016). Some time it becomes more problematic for
the health worker because of rude behaviour. There are chances that with Mr Park also
organisation can face some of the problems.

Strategies for working with challenging behaviours
associated with specific needs in care homes
The term strategy basically refers to the way in which work can be done. Proper planning is
one of the major things that is done at the time of formulating. Certain essential policies are
formed by the organisation for its employees. Many barriers occur in communicating with
disable people such difficulty in understanding their needs and wants.
While formulating the strategies organisation should see that employees working in the
organisation can easily adopt it. Moreover, it should have enough flexibility that whenever
needed it can be modified as per the society needs (Flinchbaugh, Schwoerer, and May2017).
Apart from this health care units have to work as per the set standards set by the council.
Conclusion
From the above analysis, it can be concluded that health and social care have become very
important now a days. Everyone have become conscious regarding health which results in
increase in number of hospitals, health care centres, online health care services and so on.
Government is also coming up with new programs, schemes, policies and rights to protect the
interest of people because of all these things Mr Park can lead his life like a normal person.
