Case study

You have been volunteering at a local care home and you know that several of the residents come from Eastern European countries. You have noticed that the family members of these residents do not attend any of the social events that are organised.

• What reasons might there be for these individuals not including themselves in social events?
• Think about different ways the setting could encourage these families to join the social events.

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.
