It gives learners an understanding of the role of person-centred care in underpinning the delivery of best practice in social care. The unit defines person-centred values and explains the importance of embedding these into the delivery of support and care. Learners will examine ways of finding out an individual’s history, preferences, wishes and needs in order to plan care and support which has the individual at the centre. Learners will investigate the term ‘consent’ in a social care context and develop an understanding of its importance when initiating care practice, actions or activities. The unit also provides advice on dealing with situations where consent is not readily available. Learners will consider the concept of active participation, the benefits of this and also ways of reducing barriers to enable full participation by all users of the service. Issues concerning informed choices are considered, together with the balance of risk taking and assessing when empowering individuals to exercise their rights to choice.
