QUESTION 1
Provide a definition of each of the following:
 Person-centred practice

Person-centred practice puts the person at the centre of everything we do. It recognises that every patient is a
unique and complex person. It respects their needs and preferences and the knowledge they bring about their
health and healthcare needs.
Person-centred practice can minimise the functional decline of older people in hospital and help us tailor care to
meet each person’s needs. It can result in decreased mortality, readmission rates and healthcare-acquired
infections; improved functional status and increased patient and carer satisfaction. 1

 Strengths-based practice

Strengths-based practice is a collaborative process between the person supported by services and those
supporting them, allowing them to work together to determine an outcome that draws on the person's strengths
and assets.
For example, a person can believe their strengths are patience, optimism, and persistence. ... The strength-
based approach is focusing on the positive attributes, of a person or a group, rather than the negative ones.

600250652.DOCX
© 2015 Eduworks Resources, a division of RTO Advice Group Pty Ltd Page 9
 Active support

Active Support empowers people with a disability to do things for themselves when possible,
rather than a staff member doing it on their behalf.
Support staff also make sure they customise their supports for each individual based on their
needs. For
example, if someone does not need support with feeding, following Active Support, support staff
would
empower the person with a disability to do this for themselves.
It’s about people with a disability controlling their lives, making choices, and taking part.

QUESTION 2
Explain the following types of person-centred approaches.

 PATH – Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope

PATH is a person centred and goal setting tool, that uses graphic facilitation to map out a vision of a
desirable future for an individual or a group of people. The process is highly effective when used to develop
a vision or plan for a positive future for an individual with a disability and planning personalised supports
and services. It can also be used by organization for strategic planning or by individual/ families for
personal goal setting.

600250652.DOCX
© 2015 Eduworks Resources, a division of RTO Advice Group Pty Ltd Page 10
 MAPs – Making Action Plans

MAPS, or Making Action Plan is that help the focus person construct a personal history or life story based
on personal milestone. After getting to know the focus person better and exploring his or her dreams for the
future, the team begins to build a plan to move in the direction of the individual’s dreams following the
different step process.

 PFP – Personal Futures Planning

PFP employs an on-going process in which planning teams replace system-centred methods with person
centred methods. This process is meant to encourage the focus person and those working with them to
become aware of the potential for the focus person to become an integral, contributing member of the
commumity.

600250652.DOCX
© 2015 Eduworks Resources, a division of RTO Advice Group Pty Ltd Page 11
 Circles of Support

Circle of support are a group of family, friends and supportive workers who come together to give support
and friendship to a person. People with learning disabilities often find a circle of support is a good way to
make their life better.

QUESTION 3
Describe what the term ‘self-directed support services’ means.

Self-Directed support is an approach which enables people with a disability and/or their family to have
choice and control over their disability supports and services to achieve positive outcomes in their lives. By
using funding and other resources to plan, purchase and select supports and services that suit
individualised needs, people with a disability and/or their families become active participants in the design
and delivery of their disability support.

ASSESSMENT TASK 2: CASE STUDY

TASK SUMMARY:
You are to read the case study and answer the questions that follow.

WHAT DO I NEED IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THIS ASSESSMENT?


 Access to textbooks and other learning materials.
 Access to a computer and the Internet (if you prefer to type your responses).

WHEN DO I DO THIS TASK?


 You will do this task in your own time.
 Write in the due date as advised by your assessor: _____________________________________

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO IF I GET SOMETHING WRONG?

If your assessor marks any of your answers as incorrect, they will talk to you about resubmission. You will
need to do one of the following:
 Answer the questions that were incorrect in writing.
 Answer the questions that were incorrect verbally.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Read the case study below and answer the questions.

CASE STUDY: TULLY

Tully is a 75-year-old female who has an intellectual disability. She enjoys art, reading and music.
She is not overly social and tends to spend time alone privately completing recreational activities. She has
been a smoker for 40 years and usually smokes up to 8–10 cigarettes a day. She is able to go for walks for
short periods at a time only.
Tully is sensitive to loud noises in the environment, which causes her to become quite anxious and
stressed. Being anxious or stressed causes Tully to smoke more frequently through the day.
Tully’s father passed away from lung cancer due to smoking when she was younger, so one of her goals is
to cut back on smoking. She is hoping to smoke only 2 cigarettes per day.

600250652.DOCX

1. Imagine you were Tully’s support worker. Explain how you would do the following:
 Interpret and clarify your role in putting in place an individualised plan for Tully, and why.
 Who you would work with in putting together the individualised plan and why.
 Who you would discuss issues with if you encountered situations that were beyond your skills,
knowledge or area/s of responsibility, and what the role of that person would be?
 Ensure that Tully understands her rights as a client and what she can do if she feels her rights are
being infringed upon.

600250652.DOCX
© 2015 Eduworks Resources, a division of RTO Advice Group Pty Ltd Page 37
2. Explain how you would work with Tully to determine strategies to help her achieve her goal. In your
answer, identify at least three strength-based activities that would assist in promoting her independence,
and how you would ensure Tully is able to make her own informed decisions.

600250652.DOCX
© 2015 Eduworks Resources, a division of RTO Advice Group Pty Ltd Page 38
3. Identify at least two other health professionals who may be involved in supporting Tully to achieve her
goal.

4. It’s two weeks later and Tully tells you that she wants to go for a longer walk today, down a particular tree-
lined street that she finds relaxing. Her confidence has been building as she has noticed progress in her
general health and wellbeing.
You know that the end of the street has some roadworks being done on it and there are a few noisy trucks
and machinery. You tell Tully no, it’s not a good idea and explain why. She becomes frustrated and upset
– she was so looking forward to the walk and thinks she can deal with the noise if she knows it’s coming
and she can approach it slowly.
Have you done the right thing for Tully? Explain your answer. What other options could you have
suggested?

600250652.DOCX
© 2015 Eduworks Resources, a division of RTO Advice Group Pty Ltd Page 39
5. It’s many months later and Tully has successfully quit smoking. She managed to get down to two
cigarettes a day, and then decided to quit completely. She is ecstatic at exceeding her original goal!
Explain how you would support Tully to maintain the strategies and skills she learned to help her quit
smoking, to ensure that she does not ‘fall off the wagon’ and start smoking later down the track.

600250652.DOCX
© 2015 Eduworks Resources, a division of RTO Advice Group Pty Ltd Page 40
6. You go on leave for several weeks and when you return you notice that Tully’s stress and anxiety levels
seem to have increased somewhat. She also appears to have put on some weight. There are several
unfinished craft activities put aside and she appears to have no interest in completing them.
What appears to be the problem and what might be the risks involved? What would you do in this
situation?

What do I need to hand in for this task? Have I completed this?

ASSESSMENT TASK 3: WORKPLACE PROJECT

TASK SUMMARY:
You are required to write a report on the provision of support services for three clients in
your workplace (one report for each client).

WHAT DO I NEED IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THIS ASSESSMENT?


 Access to your workplace
 Access to three clients in your workplace
 Supervisor’s permission form for each client (see end of this task)
 Access to three individual support services plans
 Access to a computer (if you prefer to type out your answers).

WHEN DO I DO THIS ASSESSMENT?


 You will do this task in your workplace.
 Write in the due date as advised by your assessor: _____________________________________

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO IF I GET SOMETHING WRONG?

If your assessor sees that you have not completed all parts of each report correctly, or have not worked with
three clients, they will give you some feedback and you will need to resubmit.

INSTRUCTIONS:
This task requires you to choose three clients and report on how you used their individual support plans to
provide support.
Before you begin this task, you must obtain permission from your supervisor to work with each client. Where
possible, try to choose at least one client who has a guardianship or advocacy arrangement in place, or who
has a family member or carer involved in their care.
Ask your supervisor to sign the permission forms at the end of this task. You will need to submit this as part of
your assessment.
Review the report template provided – there is one for each client you will need to fill out. This will help you
figure out what you need to do and write about.
Your reports will need to be filled in over a period of time, as you will more than likely not be able to fill them
out based on one day or one shift of work. Where you are unable to answer or experience any of the items in
the template provided, talk to your supervisor about how these items are addressed by carers.
Provide as much detail as you can in your report for each area (at least one – two paragraphs).
Remember, in order to adhere to privacy and confidentiality procedures, you must make sure that you do not:
 identify your clients by name
 identify family members or friends of the client by name
 document any other identifiable information (such as names of health practitioners, locations of other
services being used, etc)
 identify colleagues by name.

600250652.DOCX
© 2015 Eduworks Resources, a division of RTO Advice Group Pty Ltd Page 44
You should refer to clients as Client 1, Client 2 and Client 3 or similar. Refer to family as Family 1, Family 2 or
mother, sister, father, husband etc. Refer to locations in the generic sense, such as ‘a trip to the GP’ or ‘a
session with their counsellor’ and so on. Refer to colleagues as Colleague 1 or Staff 1 or Support Worker 1 or
similar.
When you have finished each report, give it to your supervisor to review and sign off that your statements are
accurate and true records of your work activities and performance.

ASSESSMENT TASK 4: WORKPLACE OBSERVATIONS

TASK SUMMARY:
You will need to complete this task in your workplace in the presence of your assessor.

 Part A requires you to provide support services to a client
 Part B requires you to complete and store reports and documentation as per your
workplace’s policies and procedures.

WHAT DO I NEED IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THIS ASSESSMENT?


 Access to the client’s individual support plan
 Approval from your workplace supervisor to work with a client
 Access to your workplace service
 Access to the client and/or family members of the client
 Access to your workplace’s policies and procedures
 Access to workplace reports and documentation
 Access to your supervisor.

WHEN DO I DO THIS TASK?


 You will do this task during your assessor’s visit to your workplace.
 Write in the date of your assessor’s workplace visit: _____________________________________

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO IF I GET SOMETHING WRONG?

If your assessor sees that you have not shown appropriate skills or knowledge during any of these tasks,
they will give you some feedback and you will need to do the specific task again.

INSTRUCTIONS:
You will need to complete this task in your workplace during your assessor’s visit. Your assessor will
observe you as you work.
You will need to choose one client to work with. You must obtain permission from your supervisor to have
this client participate in the task – see the permission form provided at the end of this task.
Look at the checklists below and talk to your supervisor about your choice of client – will you be able to
demonstrate all of these things?
Note that your assessor may observe you over more than one occasion if they are unable to see all the
requirements at the one visit.

600250652.DOCX

PART A: PROVIDING SUPPORT SERVICES

For this part of the assessment your assessor will observe you providing support services to a client by
following their individual support plan.
The types of support you provide your client will vary depending on your client’s needs. Ideally your work
will involve the use of some equipment.
If your client does not use any equipment, your assessor will ask you to demonstrate the use of some
equipment commonly used the workplace for support activities. A time will be organised for you to do this
in consultation with your supervisor so you can have access to the equipment. Further instructions will be
provided.
Following this observation, your assessor will ask you some verbal questions.

Your assessor will be looking to see that you can:


 Review your client’s individual support plan before any care activities commence.
 Use your client’s individual support plan to provide the support services.
 Effectively communicate with the client, family and/or carer to talk about the contents of their plan and
any activities or actions that support the plan.
For example, this should include being polite and courteous; speaking in a way that the client/family can understand; listening
and confirming that messages have been understood; appropriate use of body language; and so on.
 Ensure you are organised and prepared to undertake support activities
 Follow organisation process and procedures when providing support
For example, WHS, privacy and confidentiality, client support, code of conduct and so on.
 Safely use required equipment (if there is not equipment required this may be simulated following the
observation with the client) when providing support
For example, this should include following manufacturer’s instructions, following directions, obtaining advice and so on.
 Maintain a safe, healthy and comfortable working environment when providing support
For example, following safe work procedures; doing risk assessments and implementing risk controls; making sure the client
is comfortable and so on.
 Maintain a clean environment when providing support
For example, use of infection control procedures; leaving things clean and tidy, disinfecting surfaces where required; wearing
PPE; using correct hand-washing procedures and so on.
 Follow procedures to accurately complete workplace documentation to record information
For example, completing shift notes, progress notes, checklists, etc; may also include verbally reporting to other staff or the
supervisor.
 Work collaboratively with members of the support team
For example, discussing tasks with the team; sharing information; asking for advice; following instructions; reporting
observations.
 Respect the client and their family and/or carer during service provision and all discussions
For example, respecting differences; being polite and courteous; by being non-judgmental; treating everyone as individuals
and so on (may not be able to be seen if you do not have access to the client’s family or their carer)
 Communicate and interact with the client in a way that shows a trusting relationship and that you respect
their privacy and dignity
 Talk to the client about how their needs are being met and whether they want to change anything
 Seek assistance as required for tasks outside the scope of own role
For example, when a situation occurs that you don’t know how to handle; if a client has a need that you are unable to
address; a client asks for advice that you are not qualified to give, etc
 Correctly answer the verbal questions.

PART B: COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION

For this part of the assessment, your assessor will observe you updating and completing reports and
other relevant documentation following the provision of support services. This part of the task will also
include you discussing your client observations with your supervisor (for example, it may be part of
handover or end-of-shift procedures).
Following this observation, your assessor will ask you some verbal questions.

Your assessor will be looking to see that you can:


 Complete and maintain documentation by following workplace policy, procedures and protocols
For example, writing a clear and concise report of observations; maintaining confidentiality/privacy; using correct terminology
and so on.
 Accurately reporting your client observations to your supervisor.
For example, providing a concise and accurate account of observations; answering any questions; may be required as part of
end-of-shift/handover protocols, referring to information already documented (progress notes or checklists) etc.
 Store information by following workplace policy, procedures and protocols
For example, by filing documents in correct place; by transferring information onto a computerised record; by maintaining
confidentiality (such as locking filing cabinets; not leaving passwords lying around; not leaving client documentation where
others can view it, and so on).
 Correctly answer the verbal questions.
