Section 2: Email correspondence
Read the information at Section 2 of the CHCCOM005 Simulation Pack and complete the activities below.
Respond to Joy's email
You will receive an email from Joy (sent by your assessor). You are to assume that once you have read Joy's email, you check Cecilia's individualised care plan and note that Joy is not part of Cecilia's care team - her care team consists of her two sons and their partners. You know from conversations with Cecila that she has had difficult relationships with her siblings and they rarely keep in touch. She does not speak fondly of her sister and does not wish to have any involvement with her.
Reply to the email you received.
• Follow Junction Glen's email correspondence procedures.
• Follow Junction Glen's privacy procedures.
• Remain professional at all times.
• Respond in a manner that demonstrates your understanding of privacy and confidentiality when it comes to client information.
• Communicate relevant service information in a manner that is clear and easily understood.

Notify your supervisor of Joy's second email
You receive a second email from Joy. This email upsets you and you are not sure how to proceed. You feel for Joy because you know she does not have long to live, but you also know that Cecilia has expressed her lack of interest in her sister.
Forward the second email from Joy to your supervisor (your assessor).
• Follow Junction Glen's email correspondence procedures.
• Use your own words to summarise the situation for your supervisor and your feelings.
• Use clear, accurate and objective language.
• Request support from your supervisor in handling this situation.
Attach a copy of your email to your Portfolio.

Your assessor will observe you while you complete the role play. You will need to show that you can:
• follow communication procedures for verbal and non-verbal communication

• confirm that Cecilia has understood everything you have discussed

Respond to your supervisor's first email
You receive the email from your supervisor about professional development.
You are very busy with work and you cannot get the plan done in the timeframe they asked you to.
You are also not sure how many activities you are supposed to find - there are 20 rows, do you really need to find 20? Also, what is the budget? How many should be free or are all going to be paid for by Junction Glen?
• Follow Junction Glen's email correspondence procedures.
• Remain professional at all times.
• Clarify what you are supposed to do with the plan.
• Suggest a different timeframe in which you can complete the plan.
Attach a copy of your email to your Portfolio.
Respond to your supervisor's second email
The timeframe your supervisor has provided is still not enough time - you have to take a client to a specialist appointment and there is no one to take on this job for you. Your morning is blocked out with this activity and the specialist often runs overtime.
Suggest that you complete the plan by 3pm that day.
• Follow Junction Glen's email correspondence procedures.
• Remain professional at all times.
• Provide clear explanations to your supervisor.
