Task 1 (1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 2.3)

Task 2 (2.4)

I would like you to complete a report explaining the dilemmas a practitioner may face when identifying emerging difficulties in a child.

Within your report reflect upon the following:

• Lack of parental involvement or support
• Lack of support available from outside agencies
• Difference of opinion amongst colleagues or professionals
• Lack of support from your colleagues
• Lack of knowledge and training for the practitioner and their colleagues

Please also provide your own ideas for dilemmas that may present themselves when recognising and arranging additional support.

Hi a warm welcome to the site.

If you have access to this level 3 handbook - on amazon pages 150+ are useful readng.

If not there are some pages available in the book's 'look inside' feature - search for the word 'barriers' & then scroll down until you see the link to page 152 - the table on this page helps you identify some of the barriers or dilemmas you could encounter, or already be familair with.

Use the form your tutor's given you to write the report so you know how to lay it out.

Hope this helps a little, best wishes with your study xx

This was part of my answer:

This is known as the dilemma of difference (labels or labeling):

The basic dilemma is whether to recognize or not to recognize differences, as either way there are some negative implications or risks associated with stigma, devaluation, rejection or denial of relevant opportunities.

The study is based on the assumption that there are hard decisions or dilemmas about difference and differentiation. This is because there are positive and negative conceptions in plural democratic societies about human differences and what we call differentiation in education. The negative perspective is that difference reflects lower status, less value, perpetuating inequalities and poor quality provision and unfair treatment. The positive perspective is that difference reflects the recognition of individuality and individual needs and interests.

It is this tension between these conceptions of difference that leads us to confront dilemmas of difference.

The rest of the response was in the book Ruthierhyme refers

Hope this helps you to get the idea
