It has an influence on social care work, because we need to make sure that we are communicating well, and listening to the individual's wishes and preferences, and we need to remember not to dothings without discussing it with service user. Rights Every service user has rights and these must be respected. However, it need to be understood that rights and responsibilities have to be balanced. Some tensions between what the service user perceives as their right and what we can offer as a part of the service might be encountered. Examples of rights: dignity,privacy, choice of diet, choice of dress, the chance to say own opinion, etc.
Unit 207 Task A Ai) Person centered values means treating the clients as individuals making sure that they are being treated with dignity and respect, making sure that they have there privacy, and that they have their independence, we need to make sure to give clients a choice of different things and that they have a right to choose them, we also need to recognise that working with professionals is partnership not a relationship. Aii) It is important for care workers because we want to treat our clients as individuals and they way you want to be treated. The main reason why it is important is because it is a law requirement, they come from different acts such as, Human Rights Act 1998, Health and Social Care Act 2008 and the Codes of Practice. Care Quality Commission got the essentials standards from the Health and Social Care Act. If the person centered value are all being followed correctly then the clients should feel happy and content.
We can then use this information to involve the person in making more choices. -Another key value is to support people having their privacy if they want it. Privacy is a basic human need. Our need for privacy depends on our personality, interests and circumstances. As care workers we must respect people’s need for privacy whenever it arises.
We must treat every individual the same regardless of any medical conditions, religions, culture and life style and deserves the same care and respect. 1.2 Critically review approaches to person-centred practice Person centred practice is needs-led, in that it should cover every aspect of an individual’s health and social care requirements. There are many different approaches however there are elements that should be included in all approaches. * Rights - supporting and encouraging an individual to maintain their rights * Independence - promoting, enabling and encouraging an individual to be as independent as possible. * Choice - allowing, ensuring and promoting individuals to have and make choices.
It must be assumed that they have the capacity to do so, unless it has been proven otherwise. It also states people should be support in making their own decisions. As broad principle consent should be gained for all activity, even if you wanted to plump someone’s pillows, you should gain consent. It is essential that people not only give their consent but also fully understand what they are consenting to and the implications of this. Consent can be implied, verbal, informed or written.
Active participation means that they are not just recipients of care but involved in it and supported to be as independent as possible. Again this is empowering and it encourages them to be more aware of potential dangers. Promoting choices and rights shows that carers respect individuals. It might mean acknowledged individuals rights to take risks, accepting choices that the carers might not make for themselves, checking that the individual has full information to make choices etc. It also means understanding your duty of care, maintaining confidentiality etc.

These are the standards of care working which put a person’s life choices first. They include: • promoting someone’s independence and individuality • respecting their privacy • preserving their dignity • working in partnership with them and respecting their right to make choices.

A person’s values will include their Individuality – as a carer you see each person as an individual and promote their interests, aspirations and needs in all you do. Your organisation should fit around these individualities not the person fit in with the organisation. Rights - the rights of people are protected by law, and in particular by the Human Rights Act 1998. protects people from harm and guarantees them basic entitlements such as the right to respect and equality Choice – Choice means having access to a wide range of options and information.
