Amy Thompson Unit 14 1.1 The person centred approach is keeping the individual present and actively participating in the types of care that they would wish to receive including when and how. It involves all aspects of that person including beliefs, dignity, rights, choice, privacy, respect and independence. 1.2 The person centred values must influence all aspects of social care work. It also give a further advantage to the care staff as they are more aware of the needs and types of care that are expected by the resident. For example if the resident doesn’t wish to be washed by a male member of staff this should influence all areas of that persons care.
Person Centred Planning is a method of supporting individuals and empowering them to take charge of the direction of their life and make goals which are achievable and ultimately lead to greater social inclusion and good quality of life in every aspect from good mental health to helping them achieve and overcome physical disabilities. Learning difficulties and disability has previously been approached by being agency focused, so the agency decided the goals for them and set their targets. Multi disciplinary meetings would be held and the individual’s disability and skills assessed and their care would be around that, therefore putting the disability first and not the whole person.

They know that they will be included in the planning and all the decision and the contents of the plan is for their benefits. 1.3 - Explain the beliefs and values on which person-centred thinking and planning is based.

In the process of planning, the appointed person who is doing the plan must know and gather knowledge about what they like and what they don’t like. Their plan must be based on what they truly like, what they believe and the values they practices.
Personal Ethics Statement Values and ethics are a part of everyday life. The life we live shows the strength of our personal character. All of us need to make immediate and wise decisions. The choices we make should be driven by our own ethics. I believe that people need good ethics to promote a healthy and positive environment for ourselves and others.
A person centred approach includes promoting an individuals right to choose and be independent. Risk taking (which is part of everyday life) involves individual’s making decisions. You are upholding someone’s dignity by recognising what is important to them by making sure they are aware of the risks before they carry out an activity. How does using an individuals care plan contribute to working in a person centred way? The customer you are caring for has been an active participant in creating their care plan by recognising what they can do for themselves.
Examples of rights: dignity,privacy, choice of diet, choice of dress, the chance to say own opinion, etc. It is important to be aware of rights of individuals to be sure that all the needs are met, and to provide good standare of care. It influences the social care work, because it is a very good
Equality also means being equal no matter what you race, gender, age, disability, religion, cultural differences and sexual orientation. By eliminating prejudice and discrimination we can deliver a service that is fair and personal to the individuals which promotes a happy environment were the residents feel safe to be themselves no matter what. Inclusion is a sense of belonging, feeling included, respected, valued for who you are, feeling a level of support from those around you. There are two main models of practice underpinning equality and diversity. Inclusion, the equal opportunities model and the difference and diversity model.
