The table above shows an indication of what is expected of a child and person to achieve in an emotional and physical way in a normal environment without negative influences upon them.W. Q. 1. 2 Assess a child or unripe persons development in the following areas Physical communion Intellectual/con dive Social, emotional and behavioral Moral There are many ways to assess the development of a child or newborn persons development, and a starting point is to consider what information is needed and how the information will be use to assess accurately. This should be done holistically (upholding that all aspects of peopl es needs including psychological physical social spiritual should be taken into account and seen as a whole).Developing activities that will involve the child or boylike errors so that they can be observed in the areas above and and so these observations can be go ined for evidence when formulating a development plan. There are many ways and tools used to record information in the care setting- Free description, or narrative description -? the childs behavior is save during a short period of time and includes what the career sees during specific tasks or activities. Checklists and tick charts this method is used by health visitors when assessing, in the care setting this may be used by the LACK nurse on routine health visits to the care home.Time sample seed to observe a child all oer a longer period of time, taking snapshots within that time period, and is a way of assessing more than one area of development. Filming, photographs a good way of enter the child or two-ye ar-old person in real time which can be played back and re-analyses several(prenominal) times to observe completely distinct aspects of the child and how they interact. info from parents and colleagues such information gained from questionnaires or sitting down and having meetings to discuss topics relevant to the child or materialisation person their experiences they have had with he young person.At motivations we record information on a daily basis, this in the form of our Daily/Weekly record. As part Of the care team record my observations and then share this with the social workers involved, the Line manager and the Head of Care within our company. The information save will cover how the child or young person coped with activities, day to day routines, new experiences and family contact. Included in this will be there emotional state and behaviors and reactions to moral problems and situations, failing and successes and how they have benefited, learnt and progressed.Recordi ng their educational achievements and gathering information from schools and colleges on a weekly basis all forms important data to include in the assessment of the young person towards formulating a Review report and in-depth Care Plan for the future development and progression for the young person. W. Q. 1. 3 inform the selection of the assessment methods used. It is important that assessment methods used are justifiable and recognize that there are limitations to these methods but that we can justify our conclusions and support them with relevant and appropriate information.Free ascription -? is an unobtrusive way of save information, is flexible and we are able to carry this method out many times during the day/week. However, it can be hard to record everything that we see and that if several people are contributing to the narrative then peoples bias may influence what is being recorded. Time sample possible to see what is happening over a longer period Of time and the obser vers can see many different aspects Of the child or young person through varied activities.Filming/photographs more information can be gained, but the child or young person will be aware f the arrangement method and those recording choose what to be recorded and so may accidental miss important actions or reactions that the child or young person may do. Information from parents/colleagues important that parents and colleagues know that the child is involved in activities that are developing them, but again may show bias as to how well they have performed previously in the same or similar situations.W -Q. 1. 4 -? Develop a plan to meet the development needs of a child or young person in the work setting Developing a plan to meet the development needs of a child or young errors in the work setting can be completed once the assessment stage has been completed or it is agreed that enough information has been pull together to proceed further. When a new referral enters Motivations, it is standard practice that a Planning Meeting is held within five working days of the date of arrival.This happened recently at Victoria Rd (where I am Acting Deputy Manager) the social worker involved with the young person will visit the home and discuss aims and objectives to win the welfare of the young person. In attendance will be the House Manager, the young person for some Of the meeting and a representative Of senior management. In this Case, the person with parental responsibility was unable to attend but was invited as this was a re-scheduled meeting (24. 01. 13).Elements covered in the Planning meeting will be Date for review Timescale Aims and purposes Targets or criteria for success Suggested activities Resources and costing Location and suitability Roles and responsibilities Of those involved 2. Be able to promote the development of children or young people BOB. 2. 1 implement the development plan for a child or young person according to win role and responsibilities , taking into account that development is holistic and interconnected BOB. 2. Evaluate and revise the development plan in the light of implementation W. Q. 2. 3 Explain the importance of a person refer and inclusive accession and give lessons of how this is implemented in own work It is very important to have a person centered and inclusive approach when developing the plans for the child and young person. They should be included in the reviews and planning meetings wherever appropriate as they should be able to voice their opinion in matters hat directly affect them long and short termed.The young person is resourceful then Of voicing their opinion at a time that is most relevant and when the most important decisions are made for their future, it may also be that their opinion is not understood or has not been correctly recorded in the day to day record and assessment taking. The young person may feel that it is only during Review Meetings when there is an independent reviewi ng officer present, that they feel they can voice their own opinion and it is listened to in an UN-biased manner. During my work setting this is achieved on a weekly axis by having regular Client Meetings and convocation Meetings held within the home.The young person is able to talk to staff on an agenda based format or ad-hoc depending on the circumstances and events. These meetings are recorded and the minutes are given to the Line Manager for review and auctioning when necessary. During a placement period, there will be regular reviews held which will assess the young persons placement and how their needs are being met. A plan will be formulated based on outstanding requirements and to fulfill the developing needs of the young person, from his their Placement Plan can be updated to inform all those involved in the care of the young person changes that have been made. Attached example is a Placement Plan I updated on young person that was in our care). Information changes and req uests will then be passed on to staff through the process of handovers and team meetings (which are held every month). BOB. 2. 4 Listen to children or young people and communicate in a way that encourages them to feel cute BOB. 2. 5 Encourage children or young people to actively participate in decisions affecting their lives and the services they chive according to their age and abilities 3. Be able to support the provision of environments and services that promote the development of children or young people W.Q. 3. 1 Explain the features of an environment or service that promotes the development of children and young people Planning an environment that promotes the development of children and young people requires a lot of thought and experience, and is not just a case of putting in nice furniture and supplying a big TV for the residents to watch The features of the environment relate to the entire running and ethos of the setting. Features to be considered are Stimulating and attractive young people learn through their senses, so an environment needs to be stimulating and interesting, and also attractive.It should include opportunities for play and activities. Planned and Organized a structured system with boundaries that help the young person feel safe and secure, individuals will have their needs, interests and personality fulfilled and developed. Encouraging participation trying to make the young person feel valued and part of the group environment and not excluded. Promoting equality, diversity and inclusion. Regularity ARQ reorients -? the setting must et the minimum standards require by Posted, and also be compliant to Health & Safety legislation and other legislation involving safeguarding, protection of their human rights.High-quality policy and procedures as well as legislative requirements, there is an important need to have policy and procedures for staff to follow which are reviewed, updated and evaluated on a regular basis to check their effectiveness in the workplace. Varied up to date working practices implemented with current thinking. Providing appropriate risk and challenge provide a care setting where the young errors is capable of making mistakes in a safe environment.Children and young people must be able to learn from their mistakes in a positive way, if they are captive in cotton-wool and stifled they will be ill- fain for when they leave care and the safe environment they are in presently. Involving parents the ultimate goal is that where and when possible we return the child or young person back to their home environment, and therefore we need to include parents and family as much as possible so that they are prepared and skilled in the care of the child to effectively manage this happening.This achieved by organizing regular contact, discussing the young persons development and having the parents involved in planning and review meetings. BOB. 3. 2 Demonstrate how own work environment or service is organized to promote the development of children or young people 4. Understand how working practices can impact on the development of children and young people W. Q. 4. 1 Explain how own working practice can affect children and young peoples development I understand and realism that my own working practice can have a significant effect on the development of the children and young people in my care.Questions that ask myself about my working practice may include Am I and my colleagues within the care home aware of the developmental needs of the young person in our care, IS relevant and important information handed over in a proper manner that is informative and of a quality standard. ar the systems that use ensuring that everyone gets the information needed if not what can I do to effectively change this in a positive manner. Are the activities think for the young person positive and beneficial to the young person, could alternatives be employed or are they biased towards the need s of the care staffActivities need to be specifically planned to meet the needs of the individual in a positive manner. Are activities balanced positively to meet the needs of the young person? Are they gaining anything from going to the cinema three times a week? Do activities planned cover the key areas of the educational curriculum and build in a positive developmental way. Do work with the young person enough to gain a proper insight into their developmental needs and requirements, if not then why not?Is the young person engaging fully in their activities or routines to develop themselves fully and take full advantage Of the opportunities presented to them? W. Q. 4. 2 -? Explain how institutions, agencies and services affect children and young peoples development Institutions, agencies and services affect children and young people in a positive way by being able to provide a varied and positive development experience that a single agency like ourselves would not be able to provi de.We at Motivations are currently using an outside education agency called Inconsiderateness to support us in supplying educational support off-site to a young person in our care who is permanently excluded from main-stream Tate education. They are able to deal with challenging behavior and satisfy the Local Authority with full-time education which was planned during the initial Placement Meeting. Without this outside agency, educational needs for the young person would not have been met at a very important stage in their life aged 13.Other agencies provide support for the young person in times of crisis in their life NSP can give support to the young person as well as Childlike. Another service that we use at Motivations is Ability in Clotheshorse they supply a very specialized outward saltation service run y professionals experienced in emotional and behavioral challenging young people. Without such agencies, the activities available to young people to challenge and develop them would be limited. 5. Be able to support children and young peoples positive behavior BOB. 5. Demonstrate how they work with children and young people to encourage positive behavior W. Q. 5. 2 -? Evaluate different approaches to supporting positive behavior There are many different approaches that we use at Motivations to support and encourage positive behavior. Initially, we set about to treat the child as normal as possible, creating surroundings that reward good and positive behavior, either by words of encouragement during day to day activities, or initiating positive rewards that culminate in a material goal for the young person or child depending on their age etc.During the course of a normal day words of encouragement, a positive glance or smile, to a thumbs up or a comforting hand on a young persons shoulder is all that is needed to show support and give encouragement for the young person to put a little extra effort into an activity and achieve their goal. So support pos itive behavior and compliance in a day to day house routine, here appropriate we use a Daily Points Scheme the child or young person is scored out of ten on a daily basis on five key factors which we fatality the young person to improve in.
