It is believed that there are many factors that can contribute to behaviour. In some situations it's due to the medication a person is taking, in other situations, it could be due to pain or general discomfort, or it could be environmental. Sometimes it could be also due to an emotional or psychological issue that the person is experiencing. Why do you think that each of these factors could contribute to the person demonstrating a behaviour of concern and what could you do to reduce the chance of such behaviour being demonstrated?

What could be the impact of poor health and wellbeing and/or poor nutrition upon a person's capacity to learn new skills and communicate without aggression or frustration?

B Who can you seek advice from, if you're unsure what these are?

5. In a few short sentences, please explain the following concepts and provide one example of their relevance to working with people who have a disability:

Code of conduct;

Dignity of risk;

Human rights (including the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities);

Constraint, abuse, seclusion, imprisonment;

Privacy, confidentiality and disclosure;

General legal and ethical considerations;

A. The medical model of disability endorses that if a person is sick and debilitated, they should be provided healthcare as per their needs. The nature of their disability should be considered an illness. Moreover, the lack of communication skills and social skills deficiency should be attributed to stem from their disability.  On the other hand, the social model contends that disability and impairment is something that a person can live with it. However, disability is a concept that has originated from the community.  The community cannot accommodate the stakeholders’ changes needed for sustaining them in the societal environment.  Therefore, the social model of disability endorses that the perception of disability is imposed by society and not by the respective individual. 

1. Social devaluation and segregation have a negative impact on people with a disability. The self-esteem and the self-confidence of the concerned individuals are eroded. Such issues and social isolation could lead to depression in the concerned individual and loss of functional ability in the concerned stakeholders. They would be dependent on assisted daily living and would exhibit reduced coping skills due to the erosion of self-confidence. Care providers should be sensitive to recognise the needs of concerned stakeholders. Based on the stakeholders’ needs, the care providers should implement person-centric care and family-centric care to boost self-confidence and coping skills across concerned stakeholders.
2. The methods that can be used to ensure social skills and societal interactions are to sensitise them on their strengths, rather than weakness or disabilities. They should be extended person-centric and family-centric support for overcoming social isolation and social exclusion. The respective individuals should be motivated to carry out daily functions without assisted living. Care providers should help to build up coping skills in the respective individuals. 

The strength-based positive framework can reduce service users’ stress and anxiety and may lead to an increased QOL parameter, overall wellbeing and feelings of positivity because such qualities are essential for building self-confidence and improved coping.
