Case Study

You are working in a residential unit for adults with learning difficulties. The fire alarm is faulty and has gone off 3 times this week! Whilst you are in the middle of a messy play activity with a group, the alarm goes off again.

1. What will you do?
2. What action will you take?
3. Describe the procedure you will follow

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.
