- 16. Some Criticisms There havebeen many criticisms of the Maslow model when real-life working practice is considered, including: - Individual behaviour seems to respond to several needs at the same time - The same need (e.g. the need to socialise) may cause quite different behaviour in different individuals - There is little empirical evidence to support the model. Some critics suggest that Maslow's model is only really relevant to understanding the behaviour of middle-class workers in the UK and the USA (where Maslow undertook his research). Never the less it has been highly influential. Adapted from www.tutor2u.net

Editor's Notes
- #11 The Children Act 189 places a duty on all local authorities to investigate all cases where children are believed to be suffering or likely to. It is NOT the responsibility of college staff to investigate suspected abuse. BUT staff who have concerns or suspicions that students under 18 are subject to abuse ( defined as including neglect, physical injury, sexual abuse or emotional abuse) have a statutory responsibility to report these concerns. Immediately go to Assistant director of Learner Services ( Nick Byrne) who contacts college ‘named person’. For students over 18 member of college are invited to seed advice similarly. Normally this is the end of your involvement and the named person takes over. Pregnant students have to have a risk assessment. Course leader liaises with college safety manager to arrange for an interview. Brian KendrickOccupational Health and Safety Manager (Insurance Manager), Occupational Health & Safety Service.
