2. Learning and Teaching Strategy
A combination of lectures, individual and small group tutorials, alongside group based activities will be used to develop knowledge and understanding.

Theory will be linked with examples from health and social care through the use of numerous case studies and workshops. This is aimed at enabling you to develop a clear understanding, of ways the theory and academic knowledge link with health and social care practice.

Weeks 9 and 10 will include tutorials (group/individual) in which you have the opportunity to discuss your progress on the module with your tutor and to show them a plan of your assignment. To complete the module successfully you must also allocate a substantial amount of independent study time.

3. Module Communications

7. Assignment feedback
Feedback on items of assessment can be formal (such as on a signed feedback form) or informal (such as advice from a tutor in a tutorial). Feedback is therefore not just your grade or the comments written on your feedback form, it is advice you get from your tutor and sometimes your peers about how your work is progressing, how well you have done, what further actions you might take.

We recognise the value of prompt feedback on work submitted. Other than in exceptional circumstances (such as might be caused by staff illness), you can expect your assignment work to be marked and feedback provided not less than 15 working days from the deadline date. However, please note that that such feedback will be provisional and unconfirmed until the Assessment Board has met and may therefore be subject to change.

Please take time you read/listen to your assessment feedback. This can be very useful in determining your strengths and key areas for development, and can therefore help you improve on future grades.

9. Formative Assessment
Formative assessment is an important aid to learning. It is designed to provide you with feedback on your progress and inform development. It can be used to identify any areas which would benefit from extra attention on your part, or extra support from your tutor. It does not contribute to the overall formal assessment for the module.

Informal formative assessment is provided in this module through:

· Group activities and discussion related to the learning outcomes

· Group tutorial sessions in preparation for the Health Promotion Event

· Tutorial feedback on Health Promotion Event group planning

· Individual tutorial and feedback on Health Promotion Report

· Study skills workshops

11. Guidelines for the Preparation and Submission of Written Assignments:
1. Assignments should be word-processed in Arial or Calibri Light 12 point font, be double-spaced, on A4 size paper. Writing should appear on only one side of the paper, be fully justified and with each page being numbered in the footer, numbering to be centred.

2. There should be a title page detailing the programme, module title, assignment title, student number, marking Tutor and date of submission. Do not put your name on the assignment. It is good practice to put your student number in the top left hand side of the header of each page, and the date of submission in the top right.

3. If there is a word count limit for your programme please include the following text:

Word Count: You are expected to revise and edit your assignment to remain within +/- 10% of the indicative word length outlined. In order to ensure that word counts can easily be checked you should include a note of the word count as identified by your word processing package. A deduction should be made from this figure for all tables, figures, appendices and references which DO NOT count towards the overall word limit.

Students who exceed a specified word limit for a written assessment shall be subject to the following penalty system.

· Up to 10% over the specified word length = no penalty

· 10 – 20% over the specified indicative word length = 5 marks subtracted but if the assessment would normally gain a pass mark, then the final mark to be no lower than the pass mark for the assessment.

· More than 20% over the indicative word length = if the assessment would normally gain a pass mark, then the final mark to be the pass mark for the assessment.

· Assignments shorter than the indicative word length will not have marks deducted (even if these are more than 10% short). However, it is likely to be an exceptional piece of work that covers the assignment requirements fully in much less than the set word count, less 10%.

4. All written work must be referenced using the Harvard System, full details of which are available from the University’s Library website:

http://www.bolton.ac.uk/library/Study-Skills/Referencing/Harvard-Referencing.aspx

5. Unless otherwise notified by your Module Tutor, electronic copies of assignments, saved as a Word document, should be uploaded to the Moodle area for this module. Your Tutor will explain the process. If you experience problems uploading your assignment to the designated area, then you must forward an electronic copy as an attached to your Module Tutor, BEFORE the due deadline. The time you send the email with your assignment as an attachment, will evidence the time the assessment was submitted.

6. Please note that when you submit your work to Moodle, it will automatically be checked for matches against other electronic information. The individual percentage text matches may be used as evidence in an academic misconduct investigation (see Section 13).

7. Submission of assessments may be done on or before the published submission date. Assignments not available at this time will be considered as “late” unless an extension has been previously agreed, with the Programme Leader for your programme.

8. Students who fail to submit assessments by the specified date (without an extension being granted or without accepted Mitigating Circumstances) will be subject to the following penalties:

· Up to 7 calendar days late = 10 marks subtracted but if the assignment would normally gain a pass mark, then the final mark to be no lower than the pass mark for the assignment.

· More than 7 calendar days late = 1 mark will be awarded.

Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure that the assignment is submitted in the format/s specified in the Module Guide or on the Assessment Brief.

YOU SHOULD ALWAYS ENSURE YOU KEEP A COPY OF ANY ASSIGNMENT SUBMITTED BY WHATEVER METHOD

9. In the case of exceptional and unforeseen circumstances, an extension of up to 14 days after the assessment submission deadline may be granted by your Programme Leader, following firstly discussing the problem with the Module Tutor. You should complete an Extension Request Form available from your Tutor and attach documentary evidence of your circumstances, prior to the published submission deadline.

Requests for extensions for periods longer than 14 calendar days must be made using the Mitigating Circumstances procedures.

Requests for extensions which take a submission date past the end of the module (normally week 15) must also be made using the Mitigating Circumstances procedures.

See: http://www.bolton.ac.uk/Everything/StudentInfoPolicyZone/2017-18-Documents/MItigating-Circumstances-Regulations-and-Procedures-2017-18.pdf

Please note that the failure of data storage systems is not considered to be a valid reason for an extension. It is therefore important that you keep multiple copies of your work on different storage devices before submitting it.

Please refer to the Assessment Regulations for further details:

Specific Assessment Criteria

First class (70%+): This piece of work shows evidence of wider research with reference to a number of differing academic viewpoints. The essay has recognised relevantly and discussed in detail, all the required external environmental factors which affect the management operation of mega events. Several reasoned and logical arguments have been developed well and supported by a wide range of appropriately researched literature. Reference to two or more academic models is clear, relevant and informative. Presentation is of a high standard, and in the appropriate essay style. The high number of appropriate sources has been referenced accurately and to a high standard.

Second class (50-69%): A clear and informative piece of work with evidence of wider research and discussion. The essay has correctly recognised and discussed, all the required external environmental factors which affect the management operation of mega events. Some reasoned arguments have been developed and supported by a good number of sources. Reference to two academic models is clear. Presentation is of a good standard, in the appropriate essay style. A good number of appropriate sources have been referenced well, with most complying with the Harvard style.

Third class (40-49%): A reasonable attempt has been made at researching the essay but greater in depth discussion and academic debate is required. The essay has recognised the external environmental factors which affect the management operation of mega events, however mostly the discussion is superficial and lacking in any depth. Reference to two academic models has been attempted. Presentation of the essay is limited, and Only the minimum of 5 sources has been provided, with at least one academic text and two academic journals included.

Fail: Students who do not meet the requirements of a third class grade will not successfully complete the assessment activity.

· Do not share work with other students.

health promotion event report Health and Social Care Introduction 1 Definition of diabetes. 1 Chosen topic and justification 1 Target groups 1 Identified Needs 1 Planning of health awareness event 2 SMART PLAN 2 Evaluating the event 2 References 3 Introduction

This report is going to talk about type 2 diabetes, the effect of type 2 diabetes, the communities in which type 2 diabetes is common, how to maintain this illness and where to seek help if suffering from type 2 diabetes.

Definition of diabetes.
Diabetes is defined has when the blood sugar is abnormal, and this occurs when the body is either not responding enough to insulin, or the cell in the body is not responding to the insulin that the body is producing. Diabetes is also known as melitus which is also classified into two types; – type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. In this report type 2 diabetes will be the focus.

Type 2 diabetes is defined has when a person’s pancreas is not producing enough of insulin, or the person’s is not reacting to insulin which can also be called insulin resistant. This disease affects estimated one third of an adult age 20 and older and there has been a rise in the figure indicating that people with type 2 diabetes tends to be living longer because they are managing the disease rightly. (diabetes, you and confidence, 2018).

Chosen topic and justification
Type 2 diabetes has been chosen in other to raise the awareness in the Bolton area as the statistic shows that in Bolton environment cases of are rising every day. Figures shows that 19,200 people have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and the figure keeps rising daily there are also a lot of people at the risk of having type 2 diabetes. (Boltonshealthmatters.org, 2018). In the UK 4.5 million of people are living with diabetes, around 700 people are diagnosed with diabetes a day, 90 percent of 100 people diagnosed diabetes has type 2 diabetes and statistics shows that fewer more men have been diagnosed with diabetes which indicates that 56 per cent of adult with diabetes in the UK are men while the remaining 44 per cent are women. (Diabetes-resources-production.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com, 2018).

Target groups
The target groups in this report are the Asian and African communities as the group of people are most likely to suffer from the type2 diabetes disease. According to the report on JSNA, Black and people of Asian descendants are more likely to have diabetes compare to the white population, so it is safe to expect higher prevalence in the black and Asian community. Keeping in mind that when there has been a case of diabetes in the family, there would be a higher rate of types 2 diabetes in the family especially the close families could be at risk. (Boltonshealthmatters.org, 2018).

Identified Needs
Patients with type 2 diabetes are recommended to visit their doctors as to seek advices on what to do to maintain their situation. In Bolton there are several diabetes centres that are ready to assist patients with type 2 diabetes. Some patients might have to maintain their diabetes with insulin or tablets either way the patients are to visit their G.P for advice as to what to do and how to go about it.

Exercises can help in maintaining type 2 diabetes because if patient is overweight and has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes it will be highly recommended to lose weight in other for them to have a better life. An obesity patient is highly prone to type 2 diabetes. Royal Bolton hospital run blood glucose clinic for people to go for their blood test for them to keep record of their blood glucose and to maintain a healthy blood sugar level.

Planning of health awareness event
Planning of the event that occurred on the 4th of December 2017. Each student was given tasks to research on type 2 diabetes, using the SMART PLAN which is the specific objective of the event, the measurable result of the event, the achievable result of the event, the realistic and relevant model approach that was used for the event and the time the event was convened.

SMART PLAN
· The Objective of the event was to create an awareness to the public of Bolton including the staffs and students of Bolton university. The Asian and black origin of Bolton and anyone that was around in the time of the event. To make sure it was convened to people that type 2 diabetes is real and the effect on peoples’ lives are immeasurable if it’s not maintained properly.

· The measurable target of the event was to be able to prevent the mortality rate in Bolton and to inform people of they high mortality rate that is in Bolton due to type 2 diabetes. Bolton has been classified to be in the PURPLE GROUP ZONE which is the classification of the groups are in the high risk of diabetes in the UK. The statistic shows the proportion of within ages 40-65 years old age group from the Asian and Black origin in Bolton community are highly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes often then other tribes. The measurable targets is to advice people on how to maintain their type 2 diabetes and that could help in lowering the mortality rate in Bolton.

· The event was achievable by doing a lot of research on type 2 diabetes, by using JNSA to look at the statistics on type 2 diabetes and the effect on Bolton community. On the day of the event, people were given questionnaires to fill and questions to answer, choices of foods (healthy and non-healthy) were placed on the table for people to choose which so many people preferred to choose the non-healthy ones even though they knew event was about choosing the right choice for their health.

· The model approach that was used on the day the was the Health Promotion approach and models which was promoting good living to the Bolton community especially those that are at high risk of type 2 diabetes.

· The time the event took place was between 9-12 on the 4th of December 2017 in the chancellor’s hall Bolton university.

· The evaluation and the recommendations were the data that were collected from the questionnaires that were given out to the members of the public on the day of the event and the turn out of the event. The event was successful as the questionnaires were all given out and more were printed, people reacted positively to the information that were convened to them and gave their own opinion too on the questionnaires.

Evaluating the event
The event was delivered early hours of the morning the day of the event which had a little bit of bad effect on the event, people were rushing into their classrooms either for to give lectures or to have lectures, so some people found it inconsiderate to stop them on their way to their already very busy planned day to participate in an event that could take 10 minutes out of the scheduled time. Some took the questionnaires and offered to come back but never did.

On the day of the event there way a lot of information given to the peoples and there is also information on the board for people to read from, leaflets were given out, blood test were done, and questions were answered to the best of the students’ knowledge. Nevertheless, if the event is to occur again there are other issues that would be put into consideration like; –

· Choosing the right tie of the day.

· Doing a lot of research on the chosen subject.

· Great communication within the group.

· Choosing the right spot to be able to reach passer-by in other to share information on type 2 diabetes.

In conclusion the type 2 diabetes event was a success, many people turned out. Information were shared to inform people about the maintenance of type 2 diabetes, people were advised to eat healthily and exercise regularly. where to seek for help and information, clinics around Bolton. There are other ways type 2 diabetes sufferer can get the information needed to maintain their situation. They can visit their GP for more information, they can walk into diabetes clinics, people were also informed of all health risks that type 2 diabetes can result to if not maintained properly.

Below are the pictures from the health promotion event.

THIS IS THE TUTOR’S COMENT ON THIS REPORT PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE CORRECTIONS THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

Thank you for submitting your report, please review comments below which explain how you met the learning outcomes and any points for future development.

LO3: Examine Health Promotion theory and public policy in relation to planning intervention.

You have used the SMART plan to structure how you planned the event and that is good, however, you make reference to a measurable target which is to prevent the mortality rate in Bolton due to type 2 diabetes. This is a very unrealistic target that cannot be achieved in a 3 hour health promotion event. You must not be too ambitious with your plans and ensure any objectives are achievable and realistic such as raising awareness about type 2 diabetes and giving information about how to manage it etc. You have not made any reference to planning models, health promotion models or the theory of identified needs and so you have not passed this learning outcome. I would recommend you read over your classroom notes and access the Moodle site for further information and book a tutorial with me to discuss.

LO4: Assess the need for Health Promotion within the local community and plan an appropriate Health Promotion intervention.

You have provided good definitions of diabetes and make it clear which type you are going to focus on in the report. Just be aware of referencing (see comments in text). In addition, you must be explicit about who and where the facts and figures relate to e.g. you say that the disease affects one third of adults over the age of 20, is this nationally, globally or locally? You have presented the data about the prevalence of diabetes in a clear and logical manner and have included local and national statistics which demonstrates a comparative need. The justification for the topic is very good.

The information you present for the justification of the target population is good and it is interesting you have chosen this particular group of people. To develop this point it would be useful to include the prevalence of Asian and African individuals accessing the university and also the demographics of this group in Bolton.

You appear to have misunderstood identified needs and have not included Bradshaw's taxonomy as advised to do so in the report guidance. I have added a comment in text explaining what identified needs are. To ensure you understand theory it is advisable to review lesson content as you go through the module and to ask for tutor or peer support if there is anything you are unclear about.

You have not included the group plan or the predicted and actual responses to the questionnaire with a discussion about the responses. These were required for the report and clearly outlined in the report guidance provided for you.

The content in the report is good in that you have a good understanding of type 2 diabetes and are able to discuss the event, however, the report required you to focus on the theory of health promotion and there is very little evidence of this so you have not passed.
