Post by danaimste » Wed May 30, 2012 10:07 am

the question is: i. Describe how diverse family and social structures and experiences may impact on the practices of care workers in relation to inclusion. How can such issues and situations be avoided or dealt with effectively? i just dont understand it

The question is asking a few things.

The first part is asking for some ways in which diversity could impact on your practices whilst at work to make sure the family and child feel included and respected. If, for example, a family is from a different culture, how would this impact on the specific practices of staff at the centre?
For example, a family is Muslim and doesn't eat pork. The care workers at the centre would change their practices to be inclusive of that child, and would make sure they cook that child pork-free meals.
Another example could be a family that has suffered trauma or a child that is experiencing abuse at home. The staff would aim to be inclusive of that child's specific needs by perhaps allowing the child alone time to reflect, or offering the child more opportunities to have one-on-one time with staff to talk, or being sensitive to any negative behaviour the child might exhibit (e.g. being violent or emotionally volatile).

The next part of the question is asking for examples of HOW you could deal with diversities that come up, or experiences the family/child has been through, in an effective and positive manner.

I hope that helps :)
