WORK PLACEMENT PROJECT

You are to develop and implement a community support plan for two individuals with a disability as part of your work placement. For each individual, students will need to identify needs, strengths and abilities, have researched and networked with approved community services and programs, organised required resources, supported the individual, the rest of the team, and performed a risk assessment.

What do I need in order to complete this assessment?

• Access to your work placement service
• Access to individualised plans
• Access to equipment outlined in the plan
• Risk assessment tool (provided)
• Project document (provided)
• Client consent form

When do I do this task?

• You will do this task during your work placement.
• Write in the due date as advised by your assessor:

what do I need to do if I get something wrong?

If your assessor marks any of your answers as incorrect, they will talk to you about resubmission. You will need to do the following:

• Resubmit your assessment after you have gone through your assessor’s feedback.

Instructions:

During this task you need to do the following:

• Identify the individual’s strengths, interests, abilities and support requirements
• Determine appropriate services, resources and community opportunities
• Work with the individual, their family and/or carer to develop and implement most suitable strategies
• Recognise communication challenges and develop solutions to meet the individual’s communication needs
• Identify challenges and barriers to participation and develop ways to overcome these challenges
• Complete risk assessments and develop solutions to ensure activities, services and programs are suitable for the individual
• Coordinate required logistics to support the individual participating in community services and programs
• Monitor the success of strategies by reviewing the progress and response of the individual

To do this you must:

• Identify two individuals with a disability at your work placement. Ask your supervisor to help you to identify suitable individuals. You will need to obtain consent from each individual to include them in this project. A permission form has been provided for this purpose.
• For each individual you must document your support strategies. Support strategies must include details of the client’s needs, support requirements, resources required and community services. Use the template provided to record your plan.
• Complete the questions included within the template for each individual
• Complete a risk assessment for each individual

The project template consists of five sections:

1. Identify client needs
2. Determine social and community networks
3. Identify required resources
4. Communication and support
5. Perform a risk assessment

Note: You must maintain the confidentiality of clients, family members and members of the support team. Do not include any identifying information in your assessment. Identify to clients by Client 1, Client 2 etc, or you may use first names only where these will not identify them.

Answers to the questions in this task will vary depending on the student experience of supporting different individuals during their work placement. The student should submit three completed reports as per the project outline provided.
