NOTE: Task 1 has a specified word count of 450-550 words. Keep your response concise and aligned with the given guidelines.

Task 2: Health Promotion in Practice

Helping Notes:

Task 2 has two parts:

• Poster development and delivery
• Brief discussion

Poster Development and Delivery:

To fulfil the requirement of the first part of task 2, select a health and social care-related campaign and create a self-made, audience-appropriate health promotion poster using tools such as Canva or PowerPoint, ensuring it is visually clear and contains original, concise content

After designing the poster, you are required to deliver your health promotion campaign to one of the following audiences:

• the management or board of the organisation in which you are employed
• a local community centre

OR

• a social media platform of your choice (e.g. TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook).

Note: This part of task 2 has a limited word count of 250-300 words (word count applies only to the poster text). Moreover, you must provide appropriate evidence of both the poster and its delivery. Include the completed poster and all supporting evidence in the appendices of this assignment. Acceptable evidence of delivering your campaign within your organisation or a local community centre includes photographs or recorded footage of the campaign. Where the campaign is delivered via a social media platform, you must provide the direct link to the post, along with screenshots of audience engagement, such as likes, dislikes, and comments. All submitted evidence must comply with data protection requirements, and any personal or identifiable information must be fully anonymised.

Brief Discussion:

For the second part of task 2, you must also include a brief discussion explaining the method chosen and how the campaign was carried out. Your briefing must consist of:

• An outline of this issue and its impact on health across the nation, including the potential benefits of health improvement in this area.

(A short explanation of the health issue you selected and describe how it affects people nationally, such as physical, mental, or social consequences. Then highlight the positive outcomes that could follow if this issue is addressed, for example, reduced illness, improved well-being, or lower healthcare costs.)

• Identify and explain how an approach was chosen to promote public health on this issue.

(Explanation of the health promotion model and approach you chose for this issue. Examples of health promotion models are the Health Belief Model or the Stages of Change Model, and approaches may include media campaigns and awareness programs. Describe how you chose the model and approach for your issue, and why these are suitable and how they will help reach and influence the target audience.)

• A judgment as to the likely effectiveness of this campaign based on the nature of the problem and the approach used

(Assess how well the campaign is likely to work, using reasons linked to the issue, the chosen method, and the needs of the population. Then give a brief conclusion on whether the approach is practical, achievable, and likely to make a positive difference.)

Note: This part of task 2 has a specific word count of 1200-1250. Make sure your response is aligned with the guidelines and does not exceed the wordcount.
