INTRODUCTION
Each individual is different and specific needs also vary from person to person. The
barriers are created in Health and Social Care (HSC) services by misunderstanding and
misconceptions that are related to health, disability, illness and unusual behaviour. In case if the

TASK 1 ESSAY WRITING
AC 1.1 Understanding concept disability, illness and behaviour in relation to user of health and
social care services.
There are many concepts that are related to Health and Social Care services. The services
that are to be provided to the employees related to health care should be organised and managed
as well as concentrated in terms of providing efficient services and facilities. The different
concepts of health to understand that are detailed in this report with explaining on health,
disability, illness, and behaviour (Malouf, Kapeni and Ottersbach, 2015).
 Health: The needs of health get changed as per alterations in environment. In addition
the most important aspect of every individual to spend quality life depends on health. As,
the needs of human body differs from one another. In case, a person is suffering from any
disease, then he/she needs special care and attention to get recovered. The lack of
treatment may enable patient to suffer and increase the negative impact on HSC services.
 Disability or behaviour: When an individual gets hindrances to perform daily routine
activities, this can be termed as disability. The behaviour gets automatically changed with
disease, as the mental condition of individual gets affected. Thus, the improper health
conditions of individual may create disturbances in place of work and home. Examples of
disabilities are autism, cerebral palsy etc. Diseases or disability negatively influence the
minds of individual (Parameshwaran and et.al., 2017). There are various measures that
are taken for betterment of patients.
 Illness: With the polluted environment or due to intake of unhealthy foods, individual
may get affected with illness. This illness can be either physical or mental or
psychologically affect the minds which also influence the individual. By monitoring the

activities and recovery of suffering person symptoms immediate measures are taken to
overcome illness.
AC 1.2 Changes in perception of specific needs over time.
With the advancements in technologies and development towards newer world, it helped
in changing the values and beliefs of the people with their different needs. The perceptions have
been changed with modifications in needs of individual from past times. In terms of spreading
negativity person may harm, exploit or abuse another within community. With the proper and
effective communication, the needs can be well-determined to understand and meet them
efficiently. Hence, there should be proper arrangements to provide them specific needs to protect
them (Sallnow and Paul, 2015). Because of the following reasons, the perceptions are changed as
per specific needs of the people are detailed in this report.
 The major reason that changed the perception of people is, changing customs and trends
of social. These changes enabled the individual to meet the new needs and enhancements
of modifications in earlier ones. The latest trends and customs brought advancements
with limitations which increased individual’s specific needs. Earlier, they used to get
discriminated and were treated badly in terms of assuming as bad spirits. Advancements
over time enhanced and explored by providing efficient services by changing the
customs.
 Also, the psychological changes of the individuals enabled the matter of perception to
meet the specific needs of the people with change in time. The advancements are made to
meet the needs (Yeung and et.al., 2015). Earlier, the disabled individuals were treated
badly due to their disabilities but with the help of psychological changes, the thoughts
and techniques are changed with advancements in providing them wheel chairs and other
equipment as per their needs.
AC 1.3 Impact of social policy and practice, legislation and culture on the availability of services
for individual with specific needs.
 Legislation: Equal right is given to each and every individual as per Equality Act 2010.
While providing services to the individuals, it’s compulsory to follow the different rules
and regulations that are framed by HSC Act 2006. For the smooth and effective
functioning of health and social sectors, funds are allotted to motivate them by National

Health and Service of 2006. On the basis of disability, the individual should not be
discriminated as per Discrimination Act of 1995 (Reeve and Cooper, 2016).
 Social policy and practise: By meeting the specific needs of individuals in terms of
providing them efficient services can be termed as social practice and policy. Also, the
needs of each and every individual differ from one another. The important role is played
by social welfare as it focuses on involving each individuals with equal opportunities to
get participated. And with equality, equal chances are provided in the society.
 Society and culture: Awareness is created among individuals as they belong to society
and has right to get better services as per their needs. Certain educational programs are
designed to provide education to children. With the help of educational programs, the
needs are identified in better terms to make them get accordingly (Bautista, 2017).
Impact on the specific needs of the individuals: There is a positive impact that can be seen,
with the help of legislation, equal opportunities are provided to get their health improved and
also to provide them equal status in society with education for children as that helps in growing
and development of individual with specific needs.

Individuals needs full assistance and care, they can also be taken out to make available

spiritual needs. In case an individual cannot listen and see the assistance and care is needed

facilities like spectacles, written papers and use of sign languages are thought to meet the needs
of individuals. The social homes enable the service user with certain trainings through experts

TASK 4 CASE STUDY
Ac 4.1 different concepts of changing behaviour in service users in learning disability clinic.
The issues and problems are created while providing treatments to patients as the
behaviour differs from person to person. These issues and barriers should be treated with
patience as the patients need care and recovery. With the help of education the perception of
people has changed with boost in knowledge preventions and protections. People's doesn't get
afraid of diseases compared to earlier. Individual can get harm self or others is challenging
behaviour and difficult to understand. As, to tackle these kinds of individuals create various
challenging task for the performers (Donovan and Williams, 2015). The high concentration is
made on behaviour of individual as being a voluntary in learning disability clinic which may
provide solutions. To know about the different types of disorders the special education should be
provided. The disabilities and disorders are autistic spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, down's
syndrome, physical sensory and mental impairment. Also, there are different types of
challenging behaviour non verbal, verbal and physical challenging behaviour. Individual may

Ac 4.2 Potential effects of challenging behaviour on health care organisation as learning
disability and SEN schools.
The disturbed individuals in terms of disability or illness or any other things, their
behaviour are unpredictable by service providers, the mentally sick people can get harm
themselves or others and also to other patients. With the legal framework the potential impact of
challenging behaviour can be overseen, professional standards, policies and procedures and code
of practise. To meet the individual challenging behaviour, there are certain rules and regulations
that are framed by the authorities need to be followed. The unusual behaviour of individual
definitely affect the environment so the authorities recruit the trained and skilled employees to
handle the behaviour of suffering people (Donaldson and Vacha-Haase, 2016).
The quality based services are provided with improvements in conditions of the
individual. The behaviour of the individual is considered primarily by focusing on the symptoms

and care that are to be provided with treatments. To avoid any kind of mishap and accidents and
irresponsible behaviour with the suffering person, the framed policies and procedures of schools
helps in providing better treatments. These framed rules and regulations enables the service
providers to perform effectively with patience and understanding. Also, the authorities take
responsibility to notice and get immediate measures for controlling the behaviour of individual in
case of violent.

clients with specific needs.
There are various strategies that are framed to meet the needs of the individual by
supporting he clients and services providing to individuals as per their needs (Malone and et.al.,
2017). The strategies are made with a reason to handle the individual as per their needs in terms
of recovering their illness and disabilities with patience and care. For this purpose there should
be effective means of communication, time outs, rewards and treatments which provides the
boundaries and targets (Supporting staff working with people who challenge services, 2013). To
make the individual comfortable by understanding the needs and providing services accordingly,
also enables the service provider to perform effectively by meeting all needs of the individual.
The gender and age of individuals even if children is present in health care homes should be
treated well and effectively so that they can build trust in terms of getting services which enable
in the premises with reduction in miss behaviour. With the help of sign language, or written, or
verbally communicated the learning of disability can be done by providing services. The
principles should be followed by respecting, honesty, equality, responsibility which enables them
in providing better services.
