Our Aim & Outcomes for today:
By the end of the lesson we will have a definition of what Positive Working Practice is.
We will get there by...
- What do we already know?
We will familiarise ourselves with some key vocabulary and assess how much we know before being taught anything at all!
- We will discuss and explain what we think good practice is, using work experience and personal experiences.
- We will outline what is meant by Principles of Care, examining where they come from and what they mean for individuals with additional needs.
- We will create our own definition of what Positive Working Practice is.

First task for today....
On the side of the sheet that says 'What I already know...' I would like you to fill in as many definitions/ideas as you possibly can about each of the key terms. Get down as much or as little as you know about each one. (You probably already know quite a bit about some of them!) We are going to use this for the rest of the unit to assess how much we are actually learning - KEEP THIS SAFE. |
'My Social Worker had knowledge of my rights, and she taught them to me, and I am forever grateful to her for that: it was the thing that genuinely made a huge difference to my life. It gave me power in a situation where I was pretty powerless to edit.' |
'My nurse was good because she was there if I needed something and she responded normally, like nothing was too much of a big deal' |
What do you think makes good practice?
What have you seen out on placement that you've thought is particularly good?

Principles of care Principles of care underpin our working practices and should be constantly adhered to and promoted. These codes have been created to ensure that all Health and Social care professionals are working at the desired level to ensure they are providing the best care for the individuals they are working with. |
Using the principles highlighted by the NMC and BASW in your pairs I would like you to look at the term I give to you and answer the following three questions:
1) What does that code of practice say about the term?
2) What does the term actually mean?
3) How does it promote good practice?
You will feed these back and use what each group has found out to add to your vocabulary table.
Diversity Respect Dignity Confidentiality Anti-discriminatory practice
The NMC principles of care are available here: http://www.nmc.org.uk/standards/code/read-the-code-online/
The British Association of Social Workers principles are available here: http://cdn.basw.co.uk/upload/basw_112315-7.pdf
If there is another code of practice you are interested in looking at please let me know!
What actually is 'Positive Working Practice'?
Positive working Practice is a way of working that enables health care professionals to meet the specific needs of the clients. You do this by having good communication and making sure you pass information between all the agencies involved, so the individual has the best care possible. It is also there to make sure that any service user is not discriminated against.
How it can help people: It helps people by having a positive impact on individuals with disabilities.
The positive impacts are:
How it can help people: It helps people by having a positive impact on individuals with disabilities.
The positive impacts are:
- Building self-esteem,
- Promoting the rights of people
- Empowering the individuals, which gives them control of their own lives.
- It also does a needs led assessment, which is when it looks at the requirements of the individual and then building a service for them or a service which meets their needs. This then links to the social model because the services are being alter for the individuals with disabilities.
- It also uses person centred planning, which is where each care plan is tailored to their needs.
How do positive working practices link to the following -
Personal care?
Promotion of self-image?
Safe practice?
Safeguarding?
Promoting independence?

Have we met our aim & outcomes for today?
By the end of the lesson we will have a definition of what Positive Working Practice is.
Do you have this?
We will get there by...
- What do we already know?
We will familiarise ourselves with some key vocabulary and assess how much we know before being taught anything at all!
Have a look at your list of words - how many have you been able to fill out? Are they different to what you originally wrote down?
- We will discuss and explain what we think good practice is, using work experience and personal experiences.
- We will outline what is meant by Principles of Care, examining where they come from and what they mean for individuals with additional needs.
- We will create our own definition of what Positive Working Practice is.
Have we used our own experiences, what the codes of practice say to create a definition? Does our definition actually make sense to us?

Our Aim & Outcomes for today:
By the end of the lesson we will have extended our knowledge of what Positive Practices include using legislation and guidance to inform us. We will discuss examples of different services available to work with individuals with additional needs.
We will get there by...
- Recap on what we already know
We will look back over the key vocabulary sheet and remind ourselves of what we learnt last week!
- We will research various legislations, and in a whole group feedback to discuss and explain what these mean for Positive working practices.
- We will outline what services are available for individuals with additional needs, linking to placement and personal experiences.

“When I meet and talk to young disabled people today… I can see that they have very different attitudes to say, twenty years ago.
We have legislation now to support the rights of disabled people both at home and at work. There are more accessible ramps, more disabled changing rooms in shops and lower reception desks in offices.
It is wonderful to see how much more confident young disabled people are today as they expect equality and rightly so.”
Julie Fernandez, actress, producer, campaigner (2014)
Disabled people do not yet have equality in all areas of life.
- Families where at least 1 person is disabled are more likely to
be living in poverty than families where no one is disabled. - People with an impairment know fewer people than people
without an impairment. - Disabled people are more likely to come across barriers when
they are learning at school or college, or training for a job. - Disabled workers earn less than non-disabled workers. This works out to be around 8 pence less for each pound earned.
- Paying the normal monthly household bills is likely to be harder for families with a disabled person.
- Disabled people, especially young disabled people, are more likely to be victims of crime than non-disabled people. They are less likely to trust the criminal justice system.
(HM Government, 2015)
Legislations and regulations inform Positive Working Practices and should be constantly promoted, to understand more about these I would like you to work in small groups to produce a document with the following legislations or guidelines on...
(You can do this anyway you wish to in your group, creatively, a typed document?)
What is the legislation or guideline saying?
What difference would it make for individuals with additional needs?
Please look at:
The Equality Act 2010
Improving the Life chances of Disabled People (White Paper) 2005
Valuing people now: a new three-year strategy for people with learning disabilities (2009)No Decision about me, Without me (2012)
