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.

Social care governance: A practice workbook (NI) (2nd edition) The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) was established by Government in 2001 to improve social care services for adults and children in the United Kingdom. We achieve this by identifying good practice and helping to embed it in everyday social care provision. • disseminate knowledge-based good practice guidance • involve people who use services, carers, practitioners, providers and policy makers in advancing and promoting good practice in social care • enhance the skills and professionalism of social care workers through our tailored, targeted and user-friendly resources. First published in Great Britain in April 2013 by the Social Care Institute for Excellence
In 2007 the government published “Putting People First”, which introduced personalisation as a way to make sure that people are at the centre of all processes, systems and ways of working. The aim of this was to give people the more choice and control in their lives by giving person centred support and by 2012 every adult would be in control of their care and support. Personalisation is about dignity and well-being of a person, giving personalised or person centred services and support will mean different things to different people, but ultimately recognising the diversity of one person and personalising the support we provide for that person. 1.2 Explain how personalisation can benefit individuals. Personalisation can promote independence, dignity and respect.

Unit 4222-244 Approaches to enable rights and choices for individuals with dementia whilst minimizing risks (DEM 211) Outcome 1 Understand key legislation and agreed ways of working that ensure the fulfillment of rights and choices of individuals with dementia while minimizing risk of harm. 1.1 • Human Rights Act 1998 • Mental Capacity Act 2005 • Mental Capacity and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards 2005 • Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000 • Mental Health Act 2007 • The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 • Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 • Carers (Equal Opportunities) Act 2004. Together these legislations formed the fundamental rights and freedom of an individual. These affect the rights of every day life of an individual including what they can say or do, their beliefs, right not to be treated differently and have a right to a fair trial. These rights therefore have limits to ensure that other people's right are upheld.
Ai Definition of person-centred values - The purpose of person-centred values is to ensure that the individual needing care is placed at the very centre of the decision making process about their life, the services and support they want and need. It is treating people as individuals, making sure they have their privacy, making sure they have access to their rights, treating people with dignity and respect and supporting people to be as independent as possible. Aii Why it is important social care workers work in a way that promotes person centred values - It is important to promote person centred values so that the individual will feel empowered and in control of their lives, be more confident about making decisions and so that they will feel valued and respected. Aiii Definition of the term ''consent'' in adult social care - Consent is the informed agreement to an action or decision. To establish consent would be to be given permission or approval on such actions or decisions.
‘The care and support that we provide for people should enable them to make the most of their lives’ (DH, 2006, p. 13). How successful are health and/or social care services in achieving this aim? In this essay I will first consider how people are enabled to make the most of their lives and, reflecting on the case study of Angus Macphail and Ann Walker (K101, 2010, Unit 3, pp.126-136), I will gauge whether social care services provided are successful at achieving the aim. I will also use Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (Maslow, 1970) and also further consider how these services can be improved. How can people be enabled to make the most of their lives?
