[Core 3: Families and Communities – Lesson 2]5
Roles individuals adopt within familiesRead pages 75-77 and 80 in your CAFS text before completing the following activities.
Families are not democracies. Each family has its own way of deciding who has the authority within the family, and which rights, privileges, obligations, and roles are assigned to each individual in the family. If a family structure is to work effectively everyone will need to play a role. The roles can be quite diverse such as feeding the dog, picking up a younger sibling from school, working to provide money for the family, caring for the children when they are sick.
Activity 1
1. Think about the different roles within your family. Complete the mind map to show the roles within your family.
[Core 3: Families and Communities – Lesson 2]6
It is useful to consider what roles each family member takes within the family, and whether everyone is satisfied with the current arrangement. Think about who is responsible for what within your own family and the overall purpose of this role.
2. List the roles you have within your family.

According to the syllabus the roles individuals adopt within families address three areas.
- satisfying specific needs- building relationships- promoting wellbeing
Once basic needs have been met there are a range of specific needs that need to be satisfied. These specific needs will vary from family to family depending on the family situation and structure. Specific needs could include education, employment, health, safety and security, and sense of identity.
Building relationships and promoting wellbeing are important roles within the family and often require effort from all family members. There are often disagreements within families and often across generations.
Activity 2
Read the example below and outline who you think is responsible for building the relationship.
1. A child may think they have too many chores to complete around the house and this can cause friction.

Syllabus roles My roles

Activity 5
Creating a scaffold will help when planning for a question that requires an in depth response. A scaffold allows you to progressively build and plan your response in stages with clear direction. Consider the following question and scaffold.
Question: Analyse how different family structures can influence the roles individuals adopt.This question requires a detailed and structured response. It requires you to carefully plan your response. Analyse – identify components and the relationship between them; draw out and relate implications.
Scaffold:
[Core 3: Families and Communities – Lesson 2]10
Topic to be analysed:Family structures, adoptive, blended, childless, de facto, extended. Roles individuals adopt within families, this includes roles that focus on satisfying specific needs, building relationships and promoting wellbeing.
Point 1It is important that individuals within a foster family adopt roles that focus on building relationships and promoting wellbeing. ExplainA foster family needs to be emotionally supportive of a child’s situation. Foster children have to deal with being separated from their parents, siblings and other relatives. They may also be dealing with other sensitive issues such as abuse or neglect.
ExampleA foster parent needs to be aware of a child’s unique situation and provide opportunities for a foster child or children to develop skills and enhance wellbeing. This could be achieved by introducing a child to other children or organising a social group.
LinkWhilst building relationships and promoting wellbeing is important to foster families it may not be as significant to other family structures, such as a sole parent family.
Points to note:Statement of topic taken from the question.
Choose two or more family structures to be analysed.
Topic sentence at the beginning of each paragraph followed by explanation and examples to illustrate each component.
Use linking words between each point such as therefore, thus, as a result, leading to, in order to illustrate the relationship between each of the components.
Identifying and explaining the relationship between the various components is essential in answering these questions.
The implications of the relationship (what happens/what effect it has) can be dealt with in each of the paragraphs or as a concluding paragraph.
ConclusionAll family structures will work towards meeting specific needs, building relationships and promoting wellbeing. However, the type of family structure will impact on the emphasis place on each of those roles.
Point 2A sole parent family consists of a parent living together with one or more children. This family structure is at higher risk of disadvantage in terms of income, employment, housing and social participation. This family may adopt roles that focus on satisfying specific needs such as adequate standard of living, employment, health and education.
ExplainA sole parent may experience difficult financial circumstances relying on only one income. As a result they may have to work more than one job or rely on government assistance. ExampleSole parents are typically time poor having to manage and provide for a family. Children of this family structure may be expected to complete more tasks around the house such as cooking or cleaning to assist their parent.
LinkUnlike sole parents, foster families gain approval from the Department of Community Services to foster children and this is usually because they are able to meet children’s needs without financial strain. This difference in the two family structures impacts on the roles individuals adopt within the families.
1. Complete your own scaffold below using your own choice of family structures and your own words. You may need more space to plan your response particularly if you have more than two points. Attach any additional planning to the back of this title page.
Analyse how different family structures can influence the roles individuals adopt.
