Case Study
You are about to become a parent and your job only pays a very low income. You need to prepare your small home for a new baby who is due to arrive in 5 weeks' time.
- Put together a list of all that you will need for the baby
- Now find out where you might be able to get these things very cheaply, or second hand
- What sources of financial help are there for people in this situation?
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the responses you have to the above scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague or friend and ask them to tell you whether they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your assessor.
