HABC Level 3 Diploma for Residential Childcare (England) (RCF) (December 2017)
 

Can anyone help with this please?

I am just starting it and I have never done anything like it before.....x

Hi, a very warm welcome to the site and congratulations on your new adventure!

There are a few RCC members around who I'm sure will help where they can, if you post the unit title, any reference codes and the full criteria wording everyone will be able to focus a reply xx

The best source for current information will be your course tutor and assessor, any guidance you can offer the forum through their route is always greatly appreciated.

Best wishes and look forward to reading how things are going.

Hi! I'm really stuck on 3.12! Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi, a warm welcome to the site.

RCC 3.12 will be easier if you can gather information from your setting about the services they use - which GP surgery they work with, dentist, optician and any other professional service related to health.

This page looks at the factors that jeopardise access http://resources.hwb.wales.gov.uk/VT...1-a-and-b1.htm

To address concerns about children's health your setting's policy and procedure will help. Ask for a copy and see what it says shoulf happen in the event of injury, illness, use of illegal substances, emotional distress, poor lifestyle choices, exploitative behaviour, harm or abuse, changes in behaviour, escalation of previously un-concerning day to day behaviour.

There is information regarding the choice that make up a healthy life in this document https://www.ocr.org.uk/Images/83041-...structions.pdf

Although to be sure you cover the criteria completely, can you check with your course provider to see if they have any materials you can use to research this unit?

This book, Residential child care in practice might be useful reading. From page 67

Supporting healthy staff

If one of the aims of residential child care is to help children achieve a sense of wellbeing, and if we accept thst there are strong and relational dimensions to this, then it makes sense that we are also concerned about the wellbeing of staff wwho care for children. Those of us who have worked for many years in residential child care can identify aspects of the residential lifestyle that are less than healthy. THe culmulative stress of working with children's anxieties and acting out could be manifest in cultures of heavy drinking and smoking, and often premature death in service.


It goes on regarding, how much control staff members have over their work, and a blame culture where external sources instead of internal are considered at fault.


I hope this helps a little

Kind regards

Hi, I`m near the end of mine. It is tough but this site is a great help. x

hi
any help with RCC 3.16 Participate in teams to benefit children and young people in residential childcare .WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

Hi @mzilikaz was there a particular criteria you were needing help with?

Your setting's policies and procedures will be useful for this unit as they'll outline who the setting works in partnership with and how that happens. You'll also be able to use your knowledge about how, for example staff meetings are planned, who everyone reports information to and how information is shared. Maybe consider what the culture is and what the feelings are about members of the setting all needing to work together as a team.
