peers from a middle or upper class background. They may lack social skills and graces because of uneducated parents or parents that simply don't care for them because of their own upbringing.

1.3 explain the role of children and young people’s personal choices and experiences on their outcomes and life chances
Children/YPs may lack social skills and graces because of uneducated parents or parents that simply don't care for them because of their own upbringing. Therefore these children/YPs may appear ill mannered or badly behaved and get themselves into trouble regularly because they simply don't know better. This could also limit their chances of integrating positively within their community as they are acting negatively within their environment. Their own decisions to emmerse themselves in the world of drugs and alcohol could also have negative effects on their lives if they handle these sitations badly. Consequences could be: addiction, unemployment, poverty, homelessness, mental illness.

We should be striving to provide children/Yps in our care with equal opportunities as their peers and also aiming to instill positive attitudes towards their lives. Examples of these could be:
-Positive management and understanding of Aspergers Syndrome and Autism.
-Skills for Life (cooking, cleaning, shopping, economic wellbeing).

It is important to design services around the needs of children/YPs because we must be tailoring our care services to suit every child/YP as individuals.

2.3 explain the importance of active participation of children and young people in decisions affecting their lives
It is important for children/YPs to actively participate in decisions affecting their lives because they have a right to make certain decisions for themselves and to be aware of the impact of these decisions on their lives.

2.4 explain how to support children and young people according to their age, needs and abilities to make personal choices and experiences that have a positive impact on their lives
The type of support offered in this situation will vary greatly depending on their own individual needs. Considerations such as these should be kept in mind:
-Making sure the individual understands what has been explained to them.
-Allowing the young person extra 'processing time' if they require.
-Giving the child/YP as much time to ask questions or explore what is being said to them.
-Allowing them to research with support and gain their own knowledge and experiences.
-Being aware if the child/YP is able to make an informed choice.
Decision:

3.1 explain the potential impact of disability on the outcomes and life chances of children and young people
A disabled child/YP should, in theory and by law, be given equal opportunities in their lives. In reality, disabled people may experience limited opportunites due to their disability not allowing them to do certain jobs such as:
-Manual labour (physical disabilities)
-Certain level jobs due to learning difficulties or behavioural issues.
One example of this may be the armed forces being reluctant to employ a young person with Autism because they may be deemed to be a risk to themselves or others when on duty.
Decision:
Correct
Feedback:
Good explanation, your example shows your understanding
3.2 explain the importance of positive attitudes towards disability and specific requirements
It is important to adopt a positive attitude towards a YP with a disability because it will help them to adopt and maintain a positive attitude themselves.
This, in turn, will hopefully allow the YP to lead a fulfilling life and achieve their ambitions through good management and understanding of their disability.
Decision:
Correct

Well answered
3.3 explain the social and medical models of disability and the impact of each on practice
The 'medical' model of disability views a person's disability as a problem that belongs to that individual only. The 'social' model of disability draws on the idea that it is society that disables people, through designing everything to meet the needs of the majority of people who are not disabled. By labelling a YP because of their disability, this can prevent people from seeing the child as a whole person like their gender, culture and social background.
