OCR Level 3 Nationals in Health, Social Care and Early Years 3
4 Centres must confirm to OCR that the evidence produced by candidates is authentic. An OCR Centre Authentication Form is provided in the Centre Handbook and includes a declaration for assessors to sign. It is a requirement of the QCA Common Criteria for all Qualifications that proof of authentication is received. Guidance on assessment and evidence requirements This unit can only be evidenced in the context of adult service users. Candidates should carry out activities and behave in a way that would be acceptable in the workplace. Ideally, tasks should be carried out in a real work situation. However, simulated work environments will be acceptable. Centres should generate their own assignments to cover the assessment objectives. OCR suggests that the following tasks would create sufficient evidence to meet the assessment objectives for this unit. Produce two case studies, one based on a service user and one based on a care worker, in a health, social care or early years setting, both of whom are suffering from stress. For each case study: Identify the common symptoms of stress and describe the effects on the individuals chosen. Describe why service users and care workers may become stressed, giving examples of five stressors and describing the signs and symptoms of burn out and the effects on each individual chosen. Explain four ways of reducing stress and suggest ways of preventing stress in the care settings, including how care environments can contribute to stress reduction and therapeutic ways of dealing with stress. Investigate and give instruction on how to carry out breathing exercises that can be used to relieve the symptoms of stress and explain how these exercises would be suitable for the two individuals chosen. Lead exercises and/or therapeutic methods with a service user or care worker, evaluating the benefits of the activities. For one of the individuals, explain how to deal with behaviour that is a threat. Include how to support individuals who are a threat to others and the actions to take. Candidates may provide their responses in writing and/or through the use of video and assessor written records. Witness statements completed by the task supervisor will include the requirement for supervisors to comment on the candidates skills and their ability to apply their knowledge in a practical context. Issues around health and safety for candidates participating outside and within the centre environment should be acknowledged. Candidates could present the results of their investigations in the form of case studies based on real or fictitious characters. The purpose of the case studies could be for use when training new care workers. Candidates should only plan and participate in those exercises and therapeutic methods that do not require professional implementation. 4 OCR Level 3 Nationals in Health, Social Care and Early Years
