Module 2: Individualised support, communication and working legally & ethically

You will also need to know how to communicate in the workplace and follow your workplace procedures for any communication.

Effective communication is a vital part of succeeding in your work role and you will need a good grasp of verbal and non-verbal communication techniques.

This assessment consists of three (3) parts.

This assessment provides you with the opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge of the following areas:

  • Completing an incident report according to workplace policies
  • Write a workplace email
  • Report conflict situations to a supervisor
  • Principles of effective communication

There is an appendix at the end of the assessments, you will need to refer to it to complete Part 1, question B and Part 2, question B.

3. Activities

Answer the following short-answer questions:

  • Your written answers should be approximate 50-100 words in length (+/-10%) per question unless otherwise indicated. The word count is a guideline and you can present your answers in narrative or bullet point format.
  • Ensure you acknowledge and cite your sources accordingly – this is important whether you use your own words or another writer’s. You can review the Academic Referencing Guide in your student handbook.

Part 1. Determining support needs.

A: Read the scenario then answer the questions.

In supporting Emma, Julie needs to use person-centred practice, strengths based practice and active support as this provides the foundations of care support work and individualised support.

Three (3) ways you can monitor your own work (20-50 words)

1)

2)

3)

B: In the table below, there are five ways of monitoring Emma’s support activities. Each of these monitoring methods needs to be done in a manner that supports Emma’s self-determination.

Outline one (1) way in which each process could happen in a self-determining way for Emma.

The first one has been done as an example.

Monitoring Emma’s support activities

How can this happen in a self-determining way for Emma? (20-50 words)

Involve Emma in discussions about how her support services are meeting her needs.

Ensure Emma has opportunities to exercise control over her support services.

Involve Emma’s family/carers in discussions about how her support services are meeting her needs.

Identify aspects of the plan that may need review

Talk through any potential changes to Emma’s plan with a supervisor.

C: As previously mentioned in Emma’s case, she sometimes feels isolated and would like more opportunities to meet others. Due to frustration with this and her other circumstances, she can sometimes be verbally aggressive.

Knowing Emma’s situation, can you identify any situations of potential or actual risk? (50-100 words)

D: How should you respond to any potential or actual risks in the scope of your own work role? (50-100 words)

E: When Emma is verbally aggressive, it is likely a sign of her unmet needs. In this scenario, it appears that one of Emma’s needs is human contact, and a lack of this results in her needs being unmet and her feeling isolated. This then manifests as verbal aggression.

Signs of unmet needs are often called ‘behaviours of concern.

Identify three (3) examples of behviours of concern as a sign of additional or unmet needs, and decide how you would respond (take confidentiality, reporting and service provision into account).
