This document provides information and guidance on writing a letter of representation. [1] A letter of representation speaks or acts on behalf of a group regarding a common issue or concern, such as traffic problems or poor road conditions in an area. It does not express individual views. [2] When drafting a representation letter, the issue being addressed should be clearly described before urging action from the concerned authority. Relevant details should be provided to explain why the representation is necessary. [3] The letter should have a positive tone that avoids anger or abusive language, and express confidence that reasonable demands presented will be met by the authority.

Education

Letter of Representation
• “ To represent” means to speak or act on behalf of a person, a group of persons
or an organisation or company.
• A Representation Letter is often written on behalf of a group of people.
• A representation letter often refers to some issue of a common concern.
e.g. Traffic problem in your area, Poor condition of roads in your area,
Condition of water supply in your area.
• A representation letter thus does not express an individual’s views.
• A representation can be signed by an elected authority e.g. Chairperson or
Secretary of an organisation and can include signatures of members of the
organisation or concerned participants.
• Letter of representation should first clearly describe the issue it is
Addressing and then urge for an action to the concerned authority.

How to draft a Representation
• Provide the address of the sender so that a reply can be obtained. If the representation is
being made by an individual or by a body like a Trade Union or Trade association then
the letterhead of the Association should be used. If however the representation is being
made by a group of people who have not been organised into a body (citizens, students,
examiners) the address of one of the signatories only should be given.
• Use an opening which is positive and reasonable , on which avoids angry tone. Do not make
wild charges or use abusive language.
•State your case in full. Provide all relevant details and explain why it has become necessary
to make the representation. If the representation contains demands then give reasons to
show that the demands are in order.
• Use a positive closing, one expressing confidence that the demands will
be met with as they are reasonable. Also suggest that the demand can be
met with.

Jessica Hill

Here are the key points about target heart rates: - Target heart rate is the range of heartbeats per minute during exercise that provides the most benefit. - The general target heart rate zone is between 50-85% of your maximum heart rate. - To calculate your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220. For example, a 30 year old's maximum would be 220 - 30 = 190 beats per minute. - Then calculate your target zone by taking 50-85% of your maximum. For a 30 year old, that's 95-162 beats per minute (50-85% of 190). - Exercising within your target heart rate zone provides cardiovascular benefits and fat burning. R

Running head: SOCIAL WORK 1 SOCIAL WORK 5 Social Work Name Institution Affiliate Social Work Introduction I am doing my field ED at Walton County Division of Family and Children Services in Georgia where I get to interact with different persons of different interests. I was allocated a number of roles some of which include; interviewing clients for renewal and recertification of benefits Medicaid/ Food stamps, assisting in the preparation for new placement and reviewing services and history of children from the foster care department and finalizing and processing applications. In my field ED, I have met a number of individuals who I got to serve and interact with. One of my best experience was an encounter with a client two weeks ago who I found to have an intriguing personality. Below is my conversation with a client. I will use acronyms in place of names. C indicating the client M indicating myself M: Good evening? How can I be of assistance? C: Evening. I have been sent here by your supervisor. I have made a number of complaints in relation to mistreatment of a child in foster care along my street of residence and I have received no feedback yet. M: How long ago did you make this complaint? C: This was about a month ago, and for the previous one week I have been camping here to at least get a solution. M: We are sorry for the delay. There has been a number of such cases recently and the process of moving them from one foster home to another has consumed most of the staff’s time. You cannot tell the reporter what the agency is going to do with the family. We have to say that we are working with the family. Please fix this. C: It is understandable. How soon can you, therefore, take a look at this case? The little boy is in a really bad state from all the physical torture and needs urgent medical attention. M: The case is now our priority. We will start the required procedure to see through that the boy is in safe hands and receives medical attention as well. C: Thank you. I appreciate the role you, as an institute, play in Georgia. M: Thank you too. It is with such information that we are able to serve the people of Georgia better, improving the society one step at a time. Interpretation of the dialogue The dialogue was a complaint brought forth by a client about a neglected child in foster care. The client was specifically concerned with the health of the child. A social practice theory in close relation to this situation is systems theory. According to Garthwait (2017), systems theory “describes human behavior in terms of complex systems”. In relation to this theory, members of the society are directly involved in resolving a problem. My client, from the dialogue above, was concerned about a member of the community and sought to find help. My reaction The situation gained my attention, especially because the boy in foster care was little. Under no circumstance should any individual experience such torture (Laureate E.

Nurses should advocate for policy issues by getting involved in lobbying. The American Nurses Association believes it is nurses' responsibility to advocate for patient safety, care standards, and healthy work environments. Nurses can make a difference by participating in professional organizations, staying informed on issues, and contacting legislators. When lobbying, nurses should keep messages short and focused, build relationships with legislative staff, and time requests appropriately in the legislative process.

Real World Negotiation Assignment Your task is to go out there (.docx

danas19

Real World Negotiation Assignment Your task is to go out there (bravely) into the dreaded “real world,” negotiate for something, and then write a paper about it. You can choose or create an opportunity to negotiate something for which you might normally not negotiate or for which you did not intend to negotiate at this point in time. Completed negotiations from the recent or distant past are not eligible. A wide variety of contexts and potential transactions are fair game, including but not limited to retail consumer encounters, landlord-tenant interactions, personal or family conflict situations, disputes with teachers, fellow students, law enforcement officials, university administrators, etc. A job negotiation is okay if it is going to start and conclude between the beginning of the semester and the due date for this assignment. The key requirement is that the situation is real with actual costs and outcomes turning on the encounter (although the magnitude of costs and benefits can be relatively small). Your essay about the experience should, at a minimum, address (also, see rubric chart below): • How you prepared for the negotiation; • What happened (but don’t let narrative detail crowd out analysis); •• What the outcome was and whose interests were served; • Why things turned out as they did – what would you do differently; • Quantify what you gained by negotiating. ***The last paragraph should identify and explain how much value you claimed/created by negotiating as opposed to if you had not negotiated and claimed your BATNA. (This point will be moot if you did not come to a negotiated agreement and did claim your BATNA. That is OKAY and will not reflect poorly on your grade!). Include in your essay a critique of your own performance in the encounter: What could you have done differently to produce a better outcome? In reading and evaluating these papers, I will emphasize analysis over narrative. Tell me what happened, yes, but probe the reasons why the encounter went as it did using ideas and concepts about the structure and process of negotiation from the course. Think about the type of negotiation you are discussing and how it differs from other situations considered in this course and elsewhere. Don’t just say what tactics were used; say why and analyze their appropriateness. I will also look for evidence that you prepared for your “adversary” deliberately and thoughtfully. You will be graded not on the outcome of the negotiation itself, but on the quality of your analytical insight (using concepts developed in the course) into the process that occurred. Details: • The paper should be 4-5 double-spaced pages. • Paper must be formatted with 1” margins all around and Times New Roman 12-point font. Papers not adhering to this format will lose a letter grade. Papers will be graded based on analyses as well as on grammar, punctuation, and spelling. • Submit papers via Canvas. You must submit the assignment as an attached file..

A community housing organization took on an Aboriginal housing program from another organization at the request of local Indigenous groups and the housing department. While the goal was to increase affordable housing options, tensions arose between Indigenous and non-Indigenous staff. Within 3 months, the new Indigenous housing worker position was filled, but cultural training for staff did not adequately prepare them. Disputes between neighbors exacerbated tensions as traditional practices, like moving families to new homes, clashed with goals of self-determination and cultural sensitivity. Recommendations are needed to help the organization constructively serve users and community.
