Part 1. Determining support needs.
A: Read the scenario then answer the questions.
Emma is one of Julie’s care clients who currently lives in her own home; she has progressive multiple
sclerosis and uses an electric wheelchair for mobility.
It has been a while since Emma’s individualised care plan has been reviewed and updated, and as such,
Julie is helping the assessment team in the process of determining Emma’s support needs, with a view to
amending her individualised care plan.
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.
Briefly describe each of these three foundations of care support work and individualised support.

B: Read the scenario then answer the questions.
Emma is reliant on community supports provided by CareShore to enable her to continue living in her own
home, and Julie currently prepares and cooks Emma’s evening meals. Emma used to have a wide social
circle, but recently she has noticed that it is more difficult for her to access the community on her own, so
she has fewer opportunities to catch up. She sometimes feels isolated and would like more opportunities to
meet others. She was previously a teacher before her disability, which meant she couldn’t work in a
classroom, and she misses working and feeling valued in a professional capacity.
You need to work in collaboration with Emma to identify actions and activities that support her goals.
Identify three (3) goals Emma might have nominated that will promote her independence, and three (3) strategies
for achieving each goal. Complete the table. An example has been provided for you.

Part 2. Provide support services

2ND ATTEMPT SATISFACTORY
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.

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.

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.
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).
