2.3 The term “reflective practice” is used to describe the way in which professionals continually evaluate their own
work and consider ways for improving what they are doing. Why is it important to reflect on your own practice and
continuously improve the quality of the services provided?

Reflective practice can enable professionals to learn from experience about themselves; their work; the way they relate to home
and work, significant others and wider society and culture; the way social and cultural structures (e.g. institutions) are formed
and control us. At my work situation I have management, team meetings, assessment to look back and finding problems and
suggestive solutions.

In order to put up on these and serve good role model it facilitates the recognition of good practice area. It helps worker updated
to care along new approaches and I follow the rules and regulations of the organization and try to update all database.

By taking feedback it helps to find out the way to provide care that children needs. So I always try to get feedback from staff,
service users and seniors. Share information with children family and take feedback from them as well. I can do some
mandatory training as safeguarding, Autism awareness etc for further improvement.

2.4 Write a short reflective account of an activity that you have carried out with children, using the questions below:
I escorted 4 children from our respite home to Ilford exchange shopping mall in Ilford. There were 3 Staff members and we
travelled by Bus to the Outdoor Activity.

 Did most of the children appear to be engaged and interested in the activity?

join and have fun. They were so happy being transported on the bus and did not seem to have any fears by setting on the
upper deck of the bus.

They were happy in the adventurous playing activity that taken places a festival inside the mall that helped them to explore the
environment especially with the other normal children and lots of people surrounding that area.

2.5 Can you explain how your own value, belief system and experience may affect working practice?
Every person has different values, beliefs and preferences. For eternity I try to fulfil my duties by being honest and
clear concept to all. I always try to be loyal towards the organisation and follow the policies and procedures. As a
person, I always respect others and their values. I like to maintain the cleaning duties and follow the punctuality. In my
work place I always meet with people from different backgrounds so that to make the place to show respect and
values towards other culture.

I have understanding towards my learning disabled children’s and have real interest in their little fair, learning and
development. Experience and knowledge in work makes work easy and gives self-assurance of chance of sharing information
and experience. It is a duty and for successful teamwork to respect colleagues and managers at work and track orders and
directives to get the objective of the organisation to offer quality care to weak service users.

2.6 Can you evaluate your own knowledge and performance? Explain how the use and responding to feedback can
inform your practice?

Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care Page 9

 ABIS RESOURCES

Patient feedback allows Families and service users to post comments about their experience about the services and helps
them make informed decisions about their healthcare. Service user’s comments also help providers assess their level of
service and make changes where necessary.

This section explains how best to respond to patient feedback.

It is my duty to respond to all comments, good or bad. It shows the commenter we listen, and that their comment has been
read and acknowledged. Every organisation receives critical comments at some point and we try to respond constructively. I
take anonymous comments as seriously as named ones.

A good way of approaching anonymous comments is to suggest the user visits the practice to talk in person about the issues
they've raised. I always remembers that my response will be seen by everyone who reads my practice's comments, not just the
original commenter. My reply is a good opportunity to market my practice.

In my work place I also do appraisal with my manager who gives me feedback on my work performance. and can recommend
training for me. My colleagues advise me about the work. My assessor also gives me feedback on my work progress.

2.7 What are the sources of support for planning and reviewing your own development?

There are many sources of support in my work setting such as the manager, supervisors, mentors, and training providers.

In my work place I relied on my manager for induction, appraisal and training needs, where I discuss issues, training needs,
opportunities. I share my ideas and views. These all help me for my personal development.

follow their work; always try to learn from them,
I have tutors coming in from the training provider who assess and evaluate my work and share knowledge to guide me in the
right career path. And make me competent for the industry and help me to translate my knowledge into competent practical
care.

In my setting i have access to a, lots of approved training providers. By using their training facilities I easily can develop my
skills and knowledge toward s the industry...
We do arrange open days for carers, parents, where I can share my views, ideas and experiences. Which enables me to fulfil
