Social Assessment. Time available to provide the level of care required Focus Suggested Prompts Resources/Sources of Information During the approval period the applicant may have had a change of circumstances that impacts on their available time, or they may have realised the significant time commitment that caring for a child or young person requires. Assess if the carer continues to have the necessary time to provide quality care. • Describe any changes in your time available to provide the level of care required. • What time commitments have you had to modify in order to meet the needs of a child in care? • Are you currently providing another regulated care service from your home (eg. family day care, stand-alone care)? If you are, how will this impact on the quality of care you provide to a child placed with you • Do you still have the time required to provide the standard of care required for children in care? • Interview resource: Use of time • Interviews/contact with carer and their children • Interview with carer • Interview/contact with Family day care provider that the family day care educator is affiliated with Where changes are identified, briefly summarise key points and provide your clear assessment and rationale. Example: Xxxx identified that she had to modify her schedule in order to meet Xxxx’s medical and daily care needs and this initially impacted on the amount of one-to-one time available to spend with her daughter. Xxxx found this difficult and admits that she felt guilty at times for not spending as much time as she used to with her daughter Xxxx advised that she was quickly able to establish a new routine and now prioritises her own daughter’s need for individual time with her, as well as Xxxx’s care needs. Xxxx feels positive about the way she now manages her time and believes that she continues to have the time required to meet the needs of her own family and the needs of the child who are placed in her care.
Social Assessment. The social assessment used the combined methodology of sLCA and SIA for each one of the cases for Europe (France, Hungary and Germany). The assessment was based on the background information for each case study. The indicators are the same for the three case studies in the EU. There are some indicators that are different for the case study in India (e.g. land tenure) /Xxxx-Xxxxxx 2013a, 2013b/. The overall assessment demonstrated that: • Three cases in the EU France, Hungary and Germany) show the differences at national and regional level as well as with the Indian case study • There is limited availability of feedstock in some cases and negative willingness to sell the biomass to a bio-refinery • Skills are in place but may be limited in isolated areas where feedstock is available (e.g. Hungary) • Job creation has more emphasis on the feedstock production, treatment and transport and less for conversion • Rural development was considered by stakeholders a main asset of these projects • Some gender and health issues to be considered at the production and transformation level Table 5-3 Summary of the overall assessment for the cases in Europe, see /Xxxx-Xxxxxx 2013a/.
