Produce a 10-minute film presentation and write a 300-word individual reflective commentary (40%). This assignment has two parts:
Part 1) Students will work in groups up to 5 students to produce a 10-minute video presentation to show how a group of people with a protected characteristic has its needs responded to by different areas of the human services.
In planning and organising your film presentation, you are required to do the following:
(1) outline service needs of a group of people with a protected characteristic;

(2) account for the role and main duties, responsibilities and tasks of the professions involved, and the challenges they have encountered, in developing a response to those needs - answer the following questions:
How do the needs of a group of people with a protected characteristic are met by a team of different professionals?
What are the main duties/responsibilities of the professionals involved?
What have the main challenges in dealing with this group been?
What arrangements would you have for improving equality and diversity?
(3) A critical analysis of relevant policy and legislation of your service user group with a protected characteristic, assessing whether they are meeting the needs of your chosen group. A place to start your search would be the Department of Health (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-of-health) and for policies prior to 2014 (http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/*/http://www.doh.gov.uk/).
(4) finally, you also need to provide at least one recommendation as to how the professional role performed by you could further be developed in relation to your service user group.
