Introduction

Each child deserves happiness and treatment. In a healthy, safe and nurturing
environment, children need to learn and develop. A supportive atmosphere is critical for a
child in a home or school setting. Not only does the physical setting consist of an efficient
and encouraging child care atmosphere, it also involves how the child feels and reacts to
the setting. There are a number of ways in which parents and teachers can create a
learning environment for children (Melisa Angela 2019).
An important job for child care providers is to encourage safe exploration. Kids are
risk-takers and adventurers, of course. They put stuff in their mouths, run and move
quickly, drop or throw stuff, and love to hide and climb. It is crucial to keep children safe.
But it's not the solution to set up an atmosphere where you spend the whole day saying
"Don't touch this!" or "Stay away from it!" Think carefully about how you set up the
environment instead of spending your time redirecting children. Giving children the
opportunity to explore openly in a well-organized and child-friendly environment is a much
more effective way of controlling actions and promoting learning (Bales, D., 2015).

We have central government guidelines on children and youth in the United Kingdom. We
have child care provider guidelines and organizational structures. We have various
organizations that promote a healthy and productive atmosphere and help the
development and safety of children.
The United Kingdom Government's Department for Excellence in Education,
Children's Services and Training is a non-ministerial body responsible for
overseeing adoption, nursery and fostering providers and initial teacher training, which
oversees a number of early years and social care for children. It also explores the scope
of educational institutions, including government schools. (www.ofsted.gov.uk)

Home-Start United Kingdom is also one of those local community networks with
qualified volunteers and specialist support that help families navigate their
challenging times with young children. Home-Start works with communities across
the UK in neighborhoods starting from home. It's just caring, confidential
assistance and professional support, no judgment. 13,500 home-visiting
volunteers are helping over 27,000 families and 56,000 children across all
four nations of the United Kingdom to change their lives. More than 200 regional,
independent Home-Starts operate in 71% of local authority areas throughout the UK. At
the heart of the work of each Home-Start is volunteer help returning home. Families
dealing with post-natal depression, loneliness, physical health problems, poverty and
many other things are helped by a volunteer who spends about two hours a week in a
family home to assist them in the way they want.
Home-Starts throughout the United Kingdom also support families in communities, plan
day trips and Christmas parties, and help navigate local services and many other
supports. (www.home-start.org.uk)

1.2 Evaluation of roles and responsibilities of external agencies

Government agencies are responsible for the quality of Ofsted facilities inspection
collection. The Department for Quality in Education, Children's Services and Skills
(Ofsted) undertook audits of 15,100 Early Years Register (EYR) providers in the
academic year 2016 to 2017. In their overall effectiveness, 88% of these providers are
judged excellent or outstanding.
Providers of early years continue to achieve high inspection results. 17% were judged
outstanding and 76% good on 31 August 2017. Similarly, maintained nursery schools
have exceptionally positive inspection results. (Ofsted Annual Report, 2017)

summary
 The Department of Health is one in each of the departments shaped by the
cabinet of the Secretary of State of Health providing an association between the
Prime minister and therefore the NHS England.

 The NHS England is in control of the authorization (planning and purchasing) of

medical aid and specialist services for patients hit by isolated diseases or underneath
predominance condition that demand a general condition due to their level of
quantities and sometimes expensive costs of care.

 The Public Health England (PHE) is in command of the rearrangements for

emergency response and readiness. It’s beneficial area unit to protect the public’s
health against infectious diseases and alternative risks.

1.3 Analysis of individual functions and roles in organizations

Home-Start UK and local Home-Starts are each administered by a volunteer trustee
committee. Trustees sit on a charity's governing board and are responsible for directing
the charity's leadership and governance. You have a wide range of duties and are
 Health and Social Care in Context
Esmeralda M. Aquio
E/No: 1198375

responsible for making the charity successful, providing overall direction and ensuring
sound fund management.
The Office for Excellence in Education, Children's Services and Training
(Ofsted) in the United Kingdom also oversees and inspects for competence in
the care of children and youth, as well as in education and skills for all ages
students.
In general, Ofsted is responsible for regulating and monitoring childcare and child care:

 Child care providers and child care services included in the Early Years Register
and the compulsory part of the Childcare Register, which covers child care
providers under the age of eight.

 In the optional chapter of the Childcare Register, home care providers and child
care providers.

Individual Roles
Child-minders - Are OFSTED-registered qualified occupations. Teachers look after
children in their own home and receive checks as well as basic training and courses of

TASK 2: IMPLICATIONS OF LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORKS

2.1 Analysis of Legislative Framework

Within Ofsted rules, this is the legal framework. The legislation, together with
any subsequent regulations and standards governing childcare providers by
Ofsted, contains the following:

 Childcare Act 2006

https://www.google.com/search?
q=childcare+act+2006+summary&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKE

366&bih=657#imgrc=DDQJ74qO6-JltM:

Childcare Act 2006 Targets to reduce children's inequality in deprived areas. It provides
children with opportunities to play and socialize with other kids, as well as providing
parents with support and advice. Children also have the opportunity to take their home
 Health and Social Care in Context

with them fun books and toys. It aims to close the gap in educational achievement.
(Isobel Mackay, 2014)

 The Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)

w=1366&bih=657#imgrc=Wo5KfHkeqMfAKM:

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) sets standards for children from birth to 5
years of age for reading, growth and treatment. Both schools and early-year
licensed services should obey the EYFS, including pre-school, nursery and primary
reception classes.

 The Childcare (Early Years Register) Regulations 2008

 The Childcare (General Childcare Register) Regulations 2008.

 Health and Social Care in Context
Esmeralda M. Aquio
E/No: 1198375

The Childcare Act 2004. These Acts has a child-centered program and was produced to
make sure aids work together, somewhat like applying all the sections of a problem
collectively to understand the bigger picture.

The Children and Families Act 2014. This Act puts the authority in the place to
guarantee children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities have
way to education.

2.2 Evaluation of Legislative Frameworks

The United Kingdom Office for Quality in Education, Children's Services and Skills has a
responsibility to audit childcare providers licensed at least once in the specified inspection
processed, where applicable. Ofsted must report on four primary decisions following
audits of providers on the Early Years Register:

 [ Early Years Foundation Stage ] How well the environment meets the needs of
children

 Effectiveness of Early Years Foundation Stage leadership and

management.
Home-Start volunteers in the United Kingdom aim to build the family's
confidence and autonomy by offering support, fellowship and practical assistance,
committing themselves to a minimum of 2-3 hours a week of family visits, visiting families
in their own homes, Where it is possible to respect and preserve the integrity and identity
of each adult, to reassure families that challenges in raising childrens are not uncommon.
The range of child healthcare policy and procedures is to implement standardization in
ordinary operational activities. Managing with policies and procedures that essential in
giving precision when dealing with matters and activities are critical health and safety,
legal liabilities and regulatory requirement. As the importance of policies and procedures,
manuals may appear as it is. Policy in child healthcare is essential as it sets a general

plan of action used to guide desired results and basic guideline to help build
determinations.

2.3 Assessment of the Impact of Policies, Regulations and Legislation

The 2017 Home Start Impact Report shows that our Big Hopes Big Future plan has made
a difference. Children involved in Big Hopes Big Future have strengthened their language
and comprehension preparation for college, behavioral change, daily living skills and
family support between 25% and 33%.
Local Home-Starts backed 28,926 families with 59,628 children in the past year. Their
2017 Impact Report shows that Home-Start makes a difference to parents, kids and
volunteers who give their time to help their community members.

The impact of policy, legislation, codes of practice and standards in the organizations and
working practices in children and families may demand support from local organizations
and agencies. Wherever a child and family would benefit from coordinated support from
one organization or agency such as education, health, housing and police there should
be an inter-agency assessment. These assessments are evidence-based do clear
wherein the activities and services provided and identify what aid the child and family
needed in a statutory assessment under the Children Act 1989.

TASK 3: EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

3.1 Analysis of the Factors and Organizations Influencing Government Decisions

*Factors
There are factors influencing government decisions in adopting financial assistance if you
have children, including child care and adoption assistance, child benefit and tax credits,
and child care support.

Factors Influencing Local Government Financial Decisions

https://icma.org/sites/default/files/iStock_000003856094Medium.jpg
 Health and Social Care in Context

Governments have municipal budgets that are extremely sensitive to their political,
financial, cultural, and legal conditions if they fund an agency. There are factors that
influence these financial decisions of the local government. (ICMA, 2016)
1. Political (Citizen) Involvement
2. Economic Influences
3. Social and Demographic Change
4. Legal and Intergovernmental Matters

*Organizations
Regional inspection service providers (RISPs) are contracted to conduct audits of
schools:
 CfBT Education Trust — serving the North of England, Education Development Trust
(formerly CfBT Education Trust) is a big, non-profit organization offering educational
services in the UK and globally. Based in Reading, UK, the charity.

3.2 Assessment of the Impact of Social Values and Attitudes

Further focus and consideration needs to be given to children with different
behaviors and diversity. Childcare should provide a program that meets a child's
needs and helps them feel motivated, be aware of their own personal values,
beliefs and attitudes, and be ready to accept the values they have learned in
learning — and not force our own ideas on our children.

Karli Ortmann is a professional nanny

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUNjB7TW2X4

You spend a lot of time with them while you're working with kids. Through your
behaviors, vocabulary and actions, these children will understand and look at you.
Imitating adult and other children's thoughts is normal through childhood to
adulthood.
 The cultural beliefs and attitudes towards health and social care
generally recognized as potential sources of moral purpose and personal strength in
health care, enhancing the welfare of both clinicians that patients amidst the
experience of ill-health, healing, suffering and dying. Communication between doctors
and patients and between health care staff should attend sensitively to the welfare
benefits of religion, belief and culture. The doctors should respect personal religious
and cultural commitments, taking account of their significance for treatment.

 Towards public health issues is being treated with kindness and dignity is a social
value judgment about the processes of health and social care. Treating employees
 Health and Social Care in Context

E/No: 1198375

with fair terms of service and adequate wages and salaries is a social value judgment
about process. These may or may not be as important as the consequences for
health and quality of life that they generate, but they are surely being taken into the
record for their potential to improve or diminish the quality of people’s lives.

 Towards funding for health and social care the public are very satisfied with the
NHS but disturbed for its destiny. 

 The social model of disability is a process of observing the world developed by

impaired people. The principle says that people are disabled by barriers in society,
not by their impairment or difference. Barriers like buildings that do not have access
to toilets like assuming disabled people can't do certain things can be caused by
people's attitudes to inequality.

3.3 Assessment of the Barrier to Access Health and Social Care

 Physical barriers
These are something that limits an individual from going where they need to go. As an
illustration; a wheelchair user is incapable to access a building because the doorway is
extremely small or there are levels so people can’t get to the entrance.
 The Psychological barriers
This barrier influences the way an individual thinks regarding a service. For instance, if an
individual seems sick but they bother concerning finding what so they may not seek help
from their Doctor.

 The Financial barrier

If the health in social care or early years’ service, the individual is trying to access in some
distance away that they may not be able to afford the transport costs to get there. For
Instance, if a patient has to pay for medical prescriptions that they may not able to afford
 Health and Social Care in Context
Esmeralda M. Aquio
E/No: 1198375

so they do not buy the medicine they need. This to do with how much it might cost to
access a service.

 The Geographical barrier

Some individuals may discover that due to their mobility problem they cannot walk a short
interval to the well-being, social care and early services. For the individuals who do not
live near assistance, they may find that buses in the city seem not run at a suitable time to
get to an arrangement.

 The cultural and language barriers

In the data such as a symbol, pamphlets, advertisements involving health social care and
early year’s services are in English. Only then those with a different initial language will
not be able to find out where in the service. They may become uneasy or bothered
regarding the services.

TASK 4: INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS

4.1 Analysis of Individual Rights

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is a human rights
statute that is legally binding. Under the convention, children and youth up to the age of
18 have all the rights. There are personal, economic, educational, civil and political rights
for children and young people. (www.nidirect.gov.uk)
These include the
 right to life,
 the right to respect their opinions
 the right to freedom of expression
 Health and Social Care in Context
Esmeralda M. Aquio
E/No: 1198375

 The right to live in a family environment, including the rights of disabled children,
the right to health care and social security, the right to education, recreation,
culture and the arts, and, whenever possible, special protection for refugee
children.

Rights of the
Child animation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=5KQGz-toMnk
The right toward considered private and family life to enjoy bonds with the family.
Meaning people should have recognised your solitude and life choices as long as it
doesn’t interfere with the rights of others. These not to harmed or treated in an inhuman
or demeaning way, as you encountered critical abuse, carelessness or ordinary care in a
hospital or home care. Your freedom does not hold your privilege taken from you, for
instance, if you’re restrained beneath subconscious health enactment. The freedom about
life means no one can try to end your life in every NHS or a care provider, should
consider your freedom to survival when they obtain decisions that might influence your life
expectancy.

4.2 Evaluation of the Importance of Rights

Every child's rights are very important to enforce and they should be granted. Kids are the
next generation's hope. Proper care and safety should be provided to them from any
negative or destructive actions that may affect their future. We should provide them with
an atmosphere that can help them grow and learn successfully and positively.

Just a Kid - UNICEF

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=95&v=vRVZmuP7Fdc

Children speak out for their rights and want the life they deserve. Kids should have the
same rights and experience an acceptable standard of living should be granted the same
opportunity. We must give them the way they deserve to make the world better. Each of
us has the right to live, it doesn't mean mere existence, it means to live with dignity. The
value of the right of the child has a major impact on inspiring and training the next
generation we can have.

The essence of human rights can enhance practices for everybody from service users,
workers, service commissioners and providers. Developing care practices for patients,
service users, their families and career’s embedding human rights-based approach into
service performance. The human rights in health and social care intend to help the health
and social care sector comply with the Human Rights Act, by enhancing their knowledge
to understand and ability to adhere duties to respect, protect and promote human rights,
 Health and Social Care in Context
Esmeralda M. Aquio
E/No: 1198375

including by addressing inequalities, to translate human rights concepts and protections

into higher quality service design and delivery. A minority should be joyful and loving as
lives should mature gradually, as they gain new experiences, though, for many
children, the reality of minority is different. Just through history, children have
been abused and mistreated and they suffer from hunger and homelessness;
work in harmful conditions, high infant mortality, deficient health care and limited
opportunities for basic education. Children have the right to survive, develop, protected
and participate in decisions that impact their lives, they are innocent, trusting and full of
hope.
