We also have codes of practice and regulations to stick to within the home. Taking time to learn and understand the personal beliefs of the service users we care for is very important to deliver the best quality of care. Asking questions to the service user or their family is an advantage. You should keep an open mind at all times and never dismiss or put down a belief as this would obstruct the quality of the standard of care you deliver to the service user. I believe I have a quite good knowledge and understanding of meeting standards with the care I deliver to our service users and meeting the standards expected within my role as a carer.
You could then try to incorporate this into a care plan which involves carrying out and getting involved in these interests at the centre. 1.2) Person centred values include: Individuality Rights Choice Privacy Independence Dignity Respect Partnership As a care worker you need to keep these values in mind while carrying out your job. Respect their individuality and fit yourself into their way of thinking. For example when you first see the service users in the morning, ask them what they did the previous night and what they would like to do today. They have the right to make independent choices and you should help them in doing this.
In order to protect the speaker and the counsellor throughout the helping process, ensuring justice, fairness and non-discriminatory practice to both parties, a code of ethical framework is followed.

Supervisions are regular, between myself and my manager. They are designed to help improve the way I work, they offer practical and guidance and support in areas that I need to improve. After supervisions are the appraisals. They evaluate what was covered in the supervisions to make sure that improvement is occurring and to set new goals. My supervisions are taken on shift, my manager will watch how I work, how I integrate with the team of staff and with the clients in the care home and put forward any ideas on what I could do differently but also explain what I am doing well.
1.2 Reason why reflecting on work activities is an important developmental skill: • It allows you to review how and why you carry out a particular task or range of tasks which in, turn gives indications that identify possible areas of improvement in your role as carer • Indicates better methods of carrying out the role of carer • May Indicate possible areas of further training that may be needed • Indicate areas to be discussed in our annual personal development plan review 1.3 Ways to ensure personal attitudes do not obstruct the quality of work • Have self awareness of innate attitudes and those acquired through peer pressure • Develop an understanding and awareness of other people’s attitudes and convictions and accepting and respecting these personal differences even though you may not fully agree with them. 2.1 How a learning activity has improved my own skill • A resident with Parkinson’s Disease had progressed to a stage where she was now unable to stand without assistance.

To make sure they agree to what they have to do i have to make sure they understand the important of what they have to do and why they have to and asure them that I will be able to assist in anyway they need to be assist with.
When I’m carrying out all of these, I remember person centred values which helps me to be able to do what’s right for the client or what the client wants before carrying out any activities for the day, I go through my clients care plan but I also ask family of the clients if there has been any changes for example if my client needs to be awake and ready for a certain time, earlier or later than usual set time. I agree with them because it’s their right to change their mind. At this stage we talk together and rearrange. Personal relationships are based on emotions sharing similar attitudes, values and interests. They are also very informal, in personal relationships you share support between each other with feelings and thoughts as you can be who you are with family or friends.

The role of the health and social worker Outcome1 1 Explain how a working relationship is different from personal relationship Working relationships are based on formal policies and procedures and agreed ways of working, there are bound by contracts of employment and have codes of practice to be followed –working relationships are professional based. My responsibility as a health care worker is to deliver very high quality standard service to individuals. this include support for everyday living i.e. general domestic tasks, personal care, promoting independency. When I am caring out all these, I do remember person centred values and this helps me to do what is right for the client or what the client wants .At the start of a shift proper handover is received, read and sign/communication book is read, clients care plan is read and follow staff meetings to get information and changes about the clients for example if I have arranged with the service user to shave during personal care ,then when the time comes he changes his mind, its his right to change his mind.
Ex7 B. The purpose of a personal development plan (pdp) is to improve and develop your practice by thinking about what you are doing. A pdp is beneficial to me because becoming a reflective practitioner means thinking not only about my actions but also about the people I support. Whilst learning to reflect I will understand people better because of learning to take the time, considering why people act in a certain way. Spending time getting to know the people I support will in turn help me provide a better service.
