HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE BTEC LEVEL 3 EXTENDED NATIONAL DIPLOMA September 2010

you know this poST???
Can i post my qs here??
and if not where do i post it so the people that do this course can see it???

anyway my question is
I DONT GET FUNCTIONALISM, i read lots of stuff about it and know it means society doesnt function properly but thats about it i dont understand what it does?!?!
HELP!!!!!

It doesn't really do anything it's just a theory of how some people believe society should work.

oh :O
ok thanks

but you know next time im gonna post a question like this where do i post it???
cause people dont really seems to answer here
ie they dont come on this thread unless theyre being quoted

A lot of us read it we just don't know the answer lol x x

There hasn't been a thread made by one of us in a while to do with Health Care, but if you post on here one of us is likely to see it =) other that leave a message on one of our profile pages, i don't mind you asking about anything on my page i check near enough every other day if you get stuck on something =) x

thanks

i just realised how much you have to do to just get a pass

but i got my first two passes and a merit, YAY!

That's great =D i find the best way to get a distinction is just to cram as much information is in every area you can, but then it does take up way to much time xD i colour co-ordinate my folders mind =P it's a bit mad, but having a theme to each folder seems to motivate me to carry on =) Your doing great so far =)

thanks
i usually write about a page and a half for each assignment unless its one of those long ones-->social perspectives and life stage developments

how much do you cram??? how many pages do you end up having?
just wondering how much you write

Hiya I'm not sure what your assignment means but call them either service userers or clients . Hope I helped you at least a little bit!!

i dont really understand what this means
Was equality evident in The Caraigmore Home for the disabled?
its for one of my assignments

and what do you call them people in your assignment??/
service user, patient, client???
which one is most appropriate??/ or does it depend?

So basically were the service users treated equally among everyone else, or were some service users treated differently to others, for example if care workers provided food choices for people of white nationality and not for people who were black, this would mean that there is no equality within the care setting (Caraigmore Home). This could also be classed as discrimination.

I hope this helps! My Unit 2 Assignment was based on our local care home instead, some of us took a trip there to help make the questions more easy to answer.

And i agree with 'Krissycontagious', Service user for the residents, care worker for the staff, and i tend to say care setting rather than the actual place after i had mentioned the name of the care setting earlier.

I'm sure you will be sick of saying 'care worker' and 'service user' not before long!

qs: Is it bad to be in a care home for too long???
(if your disabled and had to stay in the care home for nearly all your life)

thanks
