In care work, how successful are outreach approaches and advocacy In engaging people who are socially excluded? In what ways might they not succeed? Illustrate your answer with examples from Block 3.
In this assignment I am going to outline outreach and advocacy services that are available to people who are socially excluded, and demonstrate how those services are successful in engaging people. I will also discuss the advantages and limitations of outreach and advocacy. To answer this question I am going to use examples from Block 3.
Outreach is a frequently recommended strategy, designed to improve services to underserved population, reaching out and assisting through personal contacts with people, who are unaware of services (Wiles, 2010,p.99). Advocacy is an essential component of outreach. “Advocacy means helping people to say what they want, represent their interests, safeguard their rights, and obtain services they need” (Wiles, 2010,p.109).
Social exclusion is the result of series problems affecting people or places such as unemployment , discrimination, poor housing, lack of skills, low incomes, crime issues, ill health and family breakdown ( Social Exclusion Taskforce, quoted in Wiles,2010,p.35). In consequences, the place where we live can have a significant impact on our health and our life’s opportunities. Social exclusion describes how people are left out of/or prevented from participating in processes that lead to growth, improved welfare and development.
To promote social inclusion, decrease the inequalities and bridge the gap between deprived neighbourhoods and rest of the country, in 2001 the government’s neighbourhood renewal strategy produced a new plan called New Deal for Communities across thirty-nine severely deprived neighbourhoods in England (Wiles,2010,p.39).
One of the New Deal for communities programme was set up in Thornhill. Thornhill met all of the requirements to apply for neighbourhood
