Activity 1C
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to consider the person’s individual needs,
stage of life, development and strengths when engaging in support activities.
Activity Think about one of your own clients. Without giving any personal information
away, outline their individual needs, their stage of life and development and
their strengths. Explain how you consider these when engaging in support
activities.

My client is a middle-aged adult who is living with a chronic health


condition. Their individual needs include managing their health
condition, managing their daily activities, and maintaining a healthy
lifestyle. They are at a stage in life where they are looking to maintain
their independence and autonomy, while also feeling supported and
connected to their community. Their development includes learning
how to manage their condition, developing strategies to cope with the
challenges of their condition, and learning how to make lifestyle
changes to improve their health. Their strengths include their
resilience, their ability to take initiative, and their willingness to learn
new skills.

When engaging in support activities, I consider my client’s individual


needs, stage of life, development and strengths. I work with them to
identify goals and strategies to meet their needs and help them reach
their desired outcomes. I also provide them with resources and
support to help them develop the skills and knowledge they need to
manage their condition and make lifestyle changes. I also strive to
create a supportive environment where my client can feel
comfortable and safe to express their thoughts and feelings. Finally, I
recognize and celebrate their strengths and resilience, and use these
to motivate and empower them to reach their goals.

Activity 1D
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to recognise, respect and accommodate
the person’s expressions of identity and sexuality as appropriate in the
context of their age or stage of life.
Activity 1. Give examples of the different ways you can accommodate your clients’
expressions of their identity.

2. Discuss the following statement: “I can’t discuss expressions of sexuality


with clients. It’s too awkward.”

3. An older gentleman you have been supporting has come to you to


express his sexuality. He hasn’t told his family or friends that he is
homosexual but feels like now is the right time. How would you handle
this situation?

Answer
- Respect their pronouns and language preferences
- Provide a safe and inclusive environment
- Allow them to express themselves freely
- Avoid making assumptions about their identity
- Offer resources and support for their identity
- Listen to their stories and experiences
- Respect their boundaries and privacy
- Acknowledge their identity in conversations
- Respect their decisions and choices
- Avoid making jokes or comments about their identity
- Celebrate their identity and accomplishments
2. It is understandable to feel awkward discussing expressions of
sexuality with clients, however it is important to recognize that this is
a necessary part of providing effective care. It is important to create a
safe and non-judgmental environment in which clients can feel
comfortable expressing their identity and sexuality. This can be done
by actively listening to the client, validating their feelings and
experiences, and providing them with resources and support. It is
also important to recognize that expressions of sexuality may vary
depending on the client's age or stage of life, and to respect and
accommodate these expressions as appropriate.
3. First and foremost, it is important to ensure that the older
gentleman feels safe and respected. I would start by expressing my
acceptance and understanding of his sexuality, and reassuring him
that his identity is valid and respected. I would also provide him with
a safe space to discuss his feelings and any concerns he may have.

I would then ask him if he would like to discuss his sexuality with his
family and friends, and provide him with any support he may need in
doing so. If he does not feel comfortable discussing his sexuality with
his family and friends, I would provide him with resources and
support to help him find a safe and supportive community.

Finally, I would ensure that I am providing him with appropriate care


and support that is tailored to his individual needs and identity. This
could include providing him with access to appropriate healthcare,
social activities, and other services that are tailored to his needs.

Activity 1. Why is it important to provide support that allows clients to self-manage
their own service delivery?

to self-manage their own service delivery.

Answer
1: It is important to provide support that allows clients to self-manage
their own service delivery because it empowers them to take control of

management also helps to build confidence and independence, which

manage their own service delivery include: • Providing information and
resources that will help them make informed decisions about their

Activity 2E
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to encourage the person to build,
strengthen and maintain independence.
Activity 1. Outline ways that you can encourage clients to build, strengthen and
maintain independence.

2. Give an example of a time when you encouraged a client to build,


strengthen and maintain their independence. How did you do it? Why did
you do it this way?

Answers
1. One way to encourage clients to build, strengthen, and maintain
their independence is to provide them with resources and support to
help them accomplish tasks. I would suggest offering guidance or
advice on how to go about completing tasks and helping to identify
resources that may be available. Additionally, providing motivational
words and recognizing accomplishments can help to boost
confidence and build motivation.

2. For example, when I was working with a client, I wanted to help


them become more independent in their daily life. To do this, I
provided them with resources and tips to help them practice tasks,
such as grocery shopping, cooking, and managing their finances. I
also encouraged them by recognizing their successes and cheering
their progress. I did this because I believe in the power of positive
reinforcement and wanted to empower the client to take control of
their own life and be more independent.

CHCCCS023 Learner workbook Version 1.1 Page 22 of 48


Activity 3E
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to identify physical health situations
beyond scope of own role and report to relevant person.
Activity Give an example of a time when the physical health situation of a client was
beyond the scope of your own role and answer the following questions:

 Why was it beyond the scope of your own role?


 How did you deal with it?
 Who did you report to?
 Why did you report to them?

Example: I was working as a mental health counsellor for a client who


was struggling with depression. During one of our sessions, the client
mentioned that they were having chest pains and shortness of breath. I
knew that this was beyond the scope of my own role as a mental health
counsellor and could potentially be a serious physical health issue.

I dealt with it by first asking the client if they had seen a doctor recently
and if they had any medication for the chest pains. I then explained to
the client that I was not qualified to diagnose or treat any physical health
issues and that they should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

I reported the situation to the client's primary care physician, as they


were the best person to assess the physical health issue. I reported to
them because they were the most qualified to diagnose and treat the
physical health issue.

learn the language, such as language classes or online tutorials. I

Write a report explaining how you will safely support 3 people with different needs to enhance
their independence and well-being.
Write 150-200 words for each scenario.

Scenario 1:

I will support three people with different needs to enhance their independence and
well-being by first assessing their individual needs. This will involve talking to each
person to understand their individual abilities, preferences, and goals. I will also

of their needs.

outlines how I can best support each person. This plan will include strategies to help
them become more independent, such as providing assistance with daily tasks,
teaching new skills, and providing emotional support. I will also ensure that the plan
is tailored to each individual’s needs and preferences.

To ensure safety, I will monitor the progress of each person and provide feedback
when necessary. I will also provide regular check-ins to ensure that the plan is
working and that the person is feeling supported. Additionally, I will ensure that the
environment is safe and that any necessary safety measures are in place.
