5short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What is the family?Show answer
The family can lower or raise care needs. A loving, stable family that provides support, food, security and care reduces the need for outside help. But family breakdown, neglect or a lack of support can increase a person's care needs, for example a child who is not properly cared for, or an older person living alone with no family nearby.
What is housing?Show answer
Poor housing (damp, cold, overcrowded or unsafe) damages health and wellbeing, especially for children and older people, and can create care needs around health, safety and emotional support. Good, settled housing supports wellbeing.
What is discrimination?Show answer
As covered in the previous dot point, discrimination lowers self-esteem, causes isolation and denies people jobs, housing and services. Each of these creates care needs: for emotional support, for help to take part again, and for practical help with the resources discrimination has denied.
