Unit SHC36 Promote person centred approaches in health and social care 2.2 How do you use care plans when applying person centred values A person and their needs should be at the centre of the support process. A carers role is to make sure that a person has every opportunity to state how they wish their needs to be met. This is especially important when the issues regarding the person are difficult or of a sensitive nature. Person centred working is about putting people in control of their lives, whether it be a new service user or a person who has been “stuck in the system” for many years. Most places will have a format (usually a care plan) for identifying needs such as: * What they are able to do independently * Personal Care * Nutritional Needs * Daily Life * Choice and Control * Risks * Medications * Work, leisure and learning * Physical and mental health It is important that everything is included in the care plan.
QCF Health and Social Care – Level 3 Unit 305 Promote person centred approaches in health and social care Outcome 1 1.1 Explain how and why person-centred values must influence all aspects of health and social care work. Health and social care should be based upon person centred values, and should be individualised, as this is a law requirement (Human Rights Act 1998, Health and Social Care Act 2012, etc.) The Principles of Care are a set of standards which form the foundation on which to build your practice. You need to be aware of why you must promote the values in your day-to-day practice; why you must consider the people you are supporting in promoting these values – their culture, their means of communication, their likes and dislikes, their family, other professionals you may be working with and also your colleagues. These are some of the principles of care: * Individuality * Rights * Choice * Privacy * Independence * Dignity * Respect If person centred values, which should be at the heart of all work in the health and social care sector, are followed as they should be, then all individuals should feel that they are being supported in accessing their rights.

A risk assessment can always be carried out to see if it is possible for someone to do something that they thought would not be possible. 1.4 Explain how using an individual's care plan contributes to working in a person centred way Using an individual's care plan will ensure that the person's own needs and wishes are being met, rather than offering them a 'choice' of what is available. Using their care plan, you can build on what they want and see where there are gaps that need to be addressed. 2.1 Find out the history, preferences, wishes and needs of the individual 2.2 Apply person centred values in day to day work taking into account the history, preferences, wishes and needs of the individual An Individual is someone requiring care or support Sources of information to find out the wishes and needs of an individual include asking: the individual family friends other carers other professionals i.e. GP,social worker, nurse referring to documents i.e.

If you are employed as a carer, it acts as a guide to you in terms of what sorts of activities are expected of you.

THE INFORMATION GIVEN INDICATES THE TYPES OF THINGS YOUR ASSESSOR WILL BE LOOKING FOR Understand the application of person centred approaches in health and social care OUTCOME 1 1. Explain how and why person-centred values must influence all aspects of health and social care work Person-centred care is a philosophy of providing care that is centred around the person, and not just their health needs. We are all individual, no two people are the same hence it is not appropriate to say that because two people have dementia – that they both have the same care and support needs. The values which one person feels are important in their life may not be so to another.

HSC026 - Evidence Unit 7 - Implement Person Centres Approaches in Health and Social Care. Define person-centred values. Person- centred values are about asking people what they want and providing practical ways for them to have choice and control in their lives, and having a positive approach. We should have a positive focus on what the person can do, not what they can’t. It is also important to actively acknowledge the person’s strengths, passions and aspirations, and actively involve the family and friends, if the person wishes.
QCF UNIT 14 – Understand Person-Centred Approaches in Adult Social Care Settings 1.1 Person centred approach is based on the person who needs care. The care should be designed in such a way which involves the person and all their needs. The person involved should be treated with respect and dignity and all aspects of their care needs should be taken in to account. 1.2 Person centred values must influence all aspects of social care work for the very reason that we are all individuals and our needs are different from each other. Therefore to treat and care for us we need different choices based on our personal needs and desires.
Introduction to Duty of Care in Health and Social Care settings 1.1 Define the term Duty of Care A duty of care means that all health and social care professionals and organisations providing health and care services, must act in the best interests of the people they support. They also have to do everything in their power to keep people safe from harm and exploitation. As a care professional, you must ensure that you do not do something, or fail to do something, that causes harm to someone. You have a professional duty of care to act only within your own competence and not to take something you are not confident about. 1.2 Describe the Duty of Care which affects your own practice It is important to only carry out duties that you are competent and confident in under taking the duty and it is important that the task are in your job description and declining care work that is not.
