The assessment has two parts. You need to complete both parts of the evaluation and include the coursework declaration sheet and feedback and results form with your submission.  The following are the two parts:

First: Advocacy is a necessary skill that you need when working with vulnerable people.

You need to write an essay of 1000-1500 words, using theory and literature to support the writing, to show an understanding of advocacy and the communication strategies used within one of the three scenarios in the NMC safeguarding film.

The communication strategies identified may be either positive or negative, and you have to discuss the significance of being aware of the potential requirement for advocacy within relationships in health care.

Second: By using examples from your own experience and using literature and theory to support your writing, you have to write an essay between 1000 and 1500 words to show that you have clearly understood health and health promotion and identify those factors that may influence a person’s health and relate these factors to activities leading to health promotion.
