Your Question?
Every year the service you work for takes on students to do work placements. As the coordinator of the service, one of your tasks is to give a presentation to the students on their first day. Your talk should cover the legal aspects of working in the sector ( you may choose the sector you wish to refer to; for eg. aged care, disability services, HACC ) and organisational policies.
Write up your presentation so that it can be delivered as a talk that engages and informs the students about the responsibilities of staff who work in the organisation. Prepare charts and/or graphics that you can use as overheads to help you condense and illustrate this information; for example, charts to outline relevant legislation. Provide these to your trainer or assessor. Use examples, where you can, to illustrate important points.
You should cover the following aspects of the service:
1. An overview of the legal responsibilities and obligations of the role, an introduction to key legislation relevant to the sector and an explanation of duty of care obligations.
2. The following points that staff need to know about :
* occupational health and safety
* maintsaining confidentiality
* accepting responsibility for their own actions
* seeking the arrangement of the client prior to providing services
* anti- discrimination
3. An explanation of why it is important for staff to work within the policies and procedures of the organisation and how they can contribute to reviewing and developing policies
4. A discussion of the ways in which staff can understand and work within their work role requirements
5. A reference to what all staff should do if they are unsure of their scope of practice or do not understand some instruction.
