TIE drama group

A drama group performed a play which portrayed teenagers going through problems such as pregnancy, sex and peer pressure. Throughout the play the audience were allowed to pick what options they should go through to see what the consequences would be. They then taught us where we should go if we suffered from these issues. For example, where to get contraception from and how effective they are, where the sexual health clinics are and what support systems there are to support those suffering from domestic abuse.

This impacts on health and social care as once I get a job in the health sector then I will have to work with patients suffering from these problems and so I will be able to help them now because I know what services are out there for them.

 

 

Court trip

We went on a trip to the Magistrate's courts and viewed cases taking place. We were told where the defendants, probation officers, judges and CPS sits and what role they hold in the court. This impacts on health and social care as people can go to court due to domestic abuse and so health and social care professionals would be involved.

 

Charity Events

Throughout the year we carried out charity events (such as lucky dip, bake sale, 'how many sweets in the jar?'. This is linked to health and social care as charities can play a big part in health and social by providing care for homeless; we also gave all the money to Cancer Research UK.
