Assessment Task 2 Instructions as provided to students

Carefully read the following:

Grow Management Consultants is a management consultancy business.

Staff employed in the business include the CEO, Operations Manager, two Senior Management
Consultants and an Administration Officer. There are also three management consultant contractors who work from the office at least 2 days a week each, as well as from home. All of the management consultants travel extensively across Australia, visiting clients.

Grow Management Consultants has an existing Health and Safety Policy and Procedure but as the organisation has expanded, the CEO believes that it is time to update the policy and procedure and to establish additional procedures including health and safety procedures to be followed when working from home as this is a common practice of the management consultants.

The CEO has indicated that he does not want to incur any additional costs in implementing the WHS management system and wants to incorporate WHS responsibilities into existing staff roles. These also need to be clearly defined in the health and safety policy and procedure.

The CEO has identified that the areas of the policy and procedure that need updating are as follows:
Include definitions of duty holders (PCBU, Responsible Officer and All Staff) under WHS legislation
Types of hazard inspections need to be broadened to include pre-operation and regular inspections, as well as working from home inspections (see below).
WHS Communication and Consultation Arrangements: the current Health and Safety Policy refers to the need to consult with workers, but the WHS procedure does not say how it will occur. Suitable communication and consultation arrangements need to be identified for Grow Management
Consultants and procedures developed. These arrangements also need to be in accordance with legislative requirements.
While the current policy and procedures refer to hazard identification and risk control generally, it has been identified that there are no specific procedures with regard to working from home health and safety requirements. As working from home is a common practice for the management consultants, this needs to be addressed. A procedure (Checklist) needs to be developed.
The policy and procedures do not address the requirement of ensuring that where there are changes to a work procedure or system, that a hazard identification is conducted. The inspection should identify any new hazards that may be created, and ways to control these.

As the Operations Manager you are responsible for researching, developing and implementing the above changes. You will also need to ensure that any new procedures added include which staff member is responsible.

Best practice WHS communication and consultation practices.
Health and safety requirements for working from home.

Following your review and research, update the WHS Policy and Procedures document. The updated document should clearly address all of the areas above. Highlight all changes you have made (Highlighted in

1. Develop a PowerPoint presentation for a WHS induction and training program.
Assume that you have been asked to provide an induction and training program for all staff to confirm WHS legislation requirements and provide information and training on the new health and safety policy and procedures.

Your presentation must address:
An overview of WHS legislation that applies to Grow Management Consultants and the purpose of such legislation. Note that this should be the WHS legislation that applies to the state/territory in which you are studying including:

Care Across the Lifespan I

Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Assignment
Neurodevelopmental Disorders
I cant believe I am sitting here talking to this lady. Mom thinks I am nuts just because I will not do what she asks. She doesn’t care about me. She only cares about my little brother and that man that keeps coming around. I dont care about her. That is why I throw things and wont do what she asks. I dont care about anyone. Those kids at school who used to be my friends dont know anything. I am so much smarter than they are.
Jacob, age 11
There are many mental disorders that occur early in the life course. The
DSM-5-TRdescribed neurodevelopmental disorders such as intellectual disability and delay, autism spectrum disorder, language, speech and communication disorders, ADHD, motor disorders, developmental coordination disorder, stereotypic movement disorder, tic disorder, and specific learning disorders (e.g., dyslexia, difficulty mastering mathematical reasoning) . Diagnosis of these various conditions can rarely be made in a single office visit and often requires a comprehensive approach involving multiple stakeholders, including the child, his or her parents, teachers, other significant figures in the child’s life, and medical and mental health professionals, such as psychologists who can conduct comprehensive neuropsychological testing.

The PMHNP must coordinate and integrate several sources of information to arrive at an accurate diagnosis of these disorders. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential to developing an effective treatment plan, which will have the potential to minimize the impact of these disorders on the childs developmental trajectory. When one considers appropriate diagnosis from this perspective, the importance of diagnostic accuracy becomes quite apparent.
