‘Despite all the arguments for deregulation, the case for adequate protection of individuals against arbitrary dismissals is as strong as ever. The arguments are based on the moral right of individuals to be fairly treated in cases of dismissals. Fair treatment of individual employees by management helps to remove a ground for resentment by the workforce collectively and contributes to a more efficient management.’ Steve Anderman ‘Termination of Employment: Whose Property Rights?’ in C. Barnard, S. Deakin, and G.S Morris (eds), The Future of Labour Law: Liber Amicorum Bob Hepple QC, 2004 Hart Publishing p.128

To what extent do UK dismissal laws satisfy the ‘moral rights of individuals’? How might the law be changed or adapted to meet this goal?

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INTEGRATIVE PAPER-MINISTRY OF PASTORAL CARE INTEGRATIVE FINAL CASE STUDY

This assignment provides you with an opportunity to demonstrate your capacities to draw on and use effectively the resources we studied and discussed this semester. The assignment is designed to help measure your achievement of the 5 course objectives listed in the syllabus.
a) Students will be able to demonstrate theological competence in articulating their self-understanding as practitioners of pastoral care
b) Students will be able to demonstrate introductory levels of theological and theoretical readiness for congregational care.
c) Students will be able to articulate a theologically informed ethical stance regarding the practice of care and counseling.
d) Students will be able to demonstrate an introductory level of competence in the listening skills required for pastoral care.
e) Students will develop an introductory level of familiarity with theological, theoretical, and social service resources useful in pastoral care and demonstrate integrative capacities for drawing from such resources in pastoral practice.

Ministry is best practiced consultatively and collaboratively. You may use your notes and books, and you may discuss your ideas with others. The work you turn in however must be your own response to the questions. If you do draw on additional print conversational resources either with explicit quotes or paraphrase, reference those sources using correct citation. This exam should be typed and around 20-22 double spaced pages.

This exam presumes that you are in a position of congregational leadership and that you have responsibility for pastoral care in its responsive, programmatic, and organizational dimensions. It also presumes that you are a worship leader.

This exam invites you to respond to Ruth and her family following Carl’s death at 84 and assisting them in preparing for a memorial service and then leading that service. Draw on your handout for the case and be aware of the following developments:

CASE:
Shortly after the situation in the case you addressed in your verbatim exercise when Carl was 83 and Ruth and her daughter recognized care for Carl needed to change, you helped Ruth determine that it was important to contact Tom and discuss the situation and invite him to come home for a visit. That visit helped Tom recognize changes in caregiving had become necessary for his mother’s health and safety as well as his father’s.

You assisted the family in arranging a family in arranging a family meeting with a medical social worker via Carl’s doctor. The social worker helped Ruth, Kristina, and Tom explore and decide on alternative arrangements for Carl’s care and identify financial options including Medicare and insurance that allowed Ruth to make the difficult transition. The family invited you to be present for the meeting.

You and Ruth and her adult children developed a ritual practice for making this move that included prayer at the home before the transition by ambulance and your presence with them again at the memory care facility where you and a few representatives of the care team who were familiar to Carl. You invited God’s blessing on Carl in this next phase of his life and comfort for Ruth and her family. Carl was a bit agitated by the transition, but he seemed to be calmed by your prayer and the wooden cross that Ruth suggested she bring from his carpentry room at home to a shelf in his room.

You and members of a care team continued to visit Ruth and Carl regularly over the next year. Carl continued to decline at a steady pace. Ruth spent part of every day with him; however, she resumed participation in church and she recovered physical strength after the stress of several years of caregiving. Carl developed pneumonia about a week ago, and declined rapidly. Ruth had discussed the living will that Carl had signed before his dementia advanced, and you knew no extraordinary measures would be used.

Katrina called you mid-morning on her mother’s behalf to let you know her father had died in the night. She reported that her mother had called Tom, and that he and his family would be coming the next day. She asked you to come by to meet with Ruth and her later in the afternoon to begin discussing preparations for the memorial service. (From earlier conversations, you knew Carl would be cremated.

Introduction
The purpose of the assessment is to give the students the space and e-space’ to critically reflect upon their emerging authentic professional identity and voice. Within this assessment students are expected to design a storyboard ‘A storyboard is a method of expression of understanding. The way you design this is up to you. It can be as a diary; a documentary; a interview; a chapter from a novel’.
Within the Storyboard;
I would like you to structure the assessment. Now I believe in self-authorship (the freedom to express your views, your knowledge and understanding in the format that suits you); so I have only a few parameters for you to consider these are;

• You have to define your authentic emerging professional voice and identity (Professional Capital) at the beginning of the storyboard (I do not necessarily want this to be a list of skills or behaviours).
• I would like it to be more thoughtful, so for example I would describe my professional identity and Voice as ‘a curious creative scholar who finds meaning and application of a range of tools and practices which enhances the learning of self and others’.
• I expect within the storyboard evidence (this can be from the ‘tools’ discussed in the lecture and also available within the Reflective Space in VLE); I do not expect or accept appendices.
• I am not obsessed by word counts (it is a guide, as long as it does not become a thesis; after all you can use poetry, photographs, lyrics, drawings, proverbs, tables, diagrams etc..)
• I would like in the storyboard the following;
Preface The preface is at the beginning of the storyboard (does not count in the word count). This is where you;
– Outline your approach to the storyboard which includes the theoretical perspective you are coming from and why (for example I am using Bolton (2010) writing through the mirror because it allows me to consider how I am seen by others; you can use more than one theoretical perspectives
– If you are using a metaphor, explain, the metaphor
– Explain the ‘reflective tools’ you are using and why
– The methodology (i.e. visual or auto ethnography, and why)
Label the storyboard Use subheadings to guide the reader (assessor) through your storyboard; try and be imaginative and ensure you labelling reflects your preface.
Source evidence See guide in the VLE under Reflective Space for sourcing evidence.
Have a bibliography Of all academic literature read, considered, at the end of the storyboard, reference using Harvard

• Be reflective and be authentic (so be true to yourself and write as if you are having a conversation with the reader; you can write in personal voice, i.e. I).
The method of presenting the Storyboard is a choice of one of the following;
Assessment Method Description Guidance
Pre-recorded presentation A presentation which is recorded either with you delivering the presentation or you speaking over the presentation. You can complete this in Powerpoint or through Prezi. You need to ensure that your storyboard is reflective and reflexive and does not become a series of slides which has no connection to the assessment. As guidance it would be expected to be around 10 to 15 minutes in duration.
Written This is where you can use a traditional writing approach as a diary or a chapter from a novel. This is not a report or an essay it is a written reflection where you consider your authentic professional identity and voice. As a guide it should be around 3000 to 4000 words.
Video This is where you can design a video (not a presentation) of your authentic professional identity and voice. This video has to be original and it is expected you do not copy from You-tube or have it as a presentation. It can be for example a video montage, a video collage You need to ensure that your storyboard is reflective and reflexive and does not become a series of unconnected images to the assessment. As guidance it would be expected to be around 10 to 15 minutes in duration.
Audio This is where you can develop a podcast of your authentic professional identity and voice. There are many audio podcast apps and I suggest using Soundcloud (it is free, and it is easy to use and upload). This has to be original and you talking. You need to ensure that your storyboard is reflective and reflexive and does not become a series unconnected discussions. As guidance it would be expected to be around 10 to 15 minutes in duration.
Website You can develop an authentic professional identity and voice website (or blog) using for example WordPress or WIX. The website or blog needs to be structured to guide the reader towards the reflections of your authentic professional identity and voice.

Begin writing your essay! As you do so, keep in mind that better essays are those that develop a strong line of argument, which is well structured and balances description and critical analysis. Good questions to ask yourself are:

• ‘Does this point relate to the main ideas I want to get across or does it distract the reader’?

‘Does the point I am making answer the question? Does it relate to the point before and after it, and if so how?

• ‘So what? What is the significance of this point? Why am I writing about it?’

• ‘How can I prove my point?’ ‘What sources can I use to support my argument?’

• ‘Do I agree with the perspective presented in the source that I am discussing? Why/why not?’

• ‘How does the perspective of the author that I am discussing compare/contrast with some of

• ‘How does the perspective of the author that I am discussing compare/contrast with some of
the others?’ ‘What is unique/interesting about what this author has to say?’

At a minimum, students are expected to:
• Answer all components of the question and follow the academic protocols for essay writing.
• Refer to AT LEAST 5 academic sources (two of which should fall outside the scope of the set
readings) in developing/supporting their argument.

Assignment – Case Study.

Students are required to analyse a policy area with an intensive focus on one policy document. The case study requires three component parts:

1. Provide a background summary of the policy area
2. Identify and discuss the key themes developed within the policy document
3. Identify and discuss the language and kinds of metaphor in your chosen policy document and discuss the implications of these for policy document

>>> Please read the powerpoint slides with lecture notes I noted down, and the journal articles that I have provided for a better understanding of the language and rhetoric use in social policy (in week 5), and the use of metaphors in social policy (in week 7). The files I have sent you are essential components to understanding the whole idea of this assignment. <<< More details on assignment below.. - It is a document analysis of a particular policy document. - Not all policy documents are called ‘The Australian Government Policy on Single Parent Family’. They might be a framework, or a strategic plan. Not all are necessarily a government document as we all know policy environment is complex and have a lot of different players. It doesn’t have to be a legislation as it is hard to analyse. - For example, analyse a policy like ‘our social media policy for Anglo care’. >> What is a policy document?

A policy document sets out an agenda for change.
For example, a document released by the liberal party saying: this is our policy for tackling the boats: for people seeking asylum by boats. It wasn’t a government document.

Can look at government departments, but not all of it is social policy documents. Some are frameworks, plans, and agenda for change.

Some policies are procedural policy. For example, the use of social media by staff. Don’t look for what people in the organization should or should not do. Look at a policy that address particular certain challenges.

– It needs to be a document about a social policy field. Look at what social policy is, process of social policy and what’s involved to make it clearer about your assignment. Look at government website – state, local, and also NGOs.

– The main focus is the language analysis. Look at these ideas about metaphors and rhetoric, and identify them.

>> Find some pedagogical, constitutive & heuristic metaphor in the policy document that will help you look at the document policy more carefully. The detailed descriptions of these are in the PowerPoint slides and article readings.

– Find these kinds of metaphors in your policy document.
Look for a document where rhetoric and metaphors is there.

>> Look for specific metaphors and the language in the policy document. What agenda has been seen to be carried by the policy maker?

– e.g. homelessness and opendoors – look at that. In what way (pedagogic, constitutive, heuristic metaphors) has it constructed the policy of homelessness & opendoors policy?

>> Look for a policy that has a lot of language in it.

Language in the social policy sphere often says we’re dealing with vulnerability. A lot of power is constructed upon stories that are told. Stories matter.

HAVE to identify language in the policy document.

>> Style of Assignment

– Use headings to have an easy essay structure.
– The style of the assignment has to be descriptive, analytical, and structured.
– You have to think: What is this issue? What is the document talking about?

>> How do we reference our analysis of the document?

– As you are doing a case study, everything you write don’t have to be referenced. However, it is important to be sure that you have to be clear about what you are talking about.

– Bring literature to your discussion.

– Identify the three metaphors (as discussed in the lecture slides) in the policy document. What are they? And reference the literature where you understand the meaning of what pedagogical, constitutive & heuristic metaphor means to you – in which literature did it say that pedagogical means this? And then identify these metaphors in the policy document.
