We can make individual plans and requirements to suit the specific needs of an individual. The better the care plan the easier it becomes for us to assist a client in their own way without getting into a mess from not understanding the care plans. 2.1 Work with an individual and others to find out the person’s history, preferences, wishes and needs: Depending if the individual can communicate we can ask them, or their family if they have family, if they have no family and cannot communicate we have best interest meetings to discuss the care that an individual may need. Care plans also have all the information that we need about a person’s history and preferences. 2.2 Demonstrate ways to put person centered values into practice in complex or sensitive situations: Maybe just sitting and spending time with individuals on a 1:1 basis Intensive interaction with individuals 2.3 Adapt actions and approaches in response to an individual’s changing needs or preferences; By reviewing care plans on a regular basis 3.1 Analyze factors that influence the capacity of an individual to express consent: Dementia, understanding, not being able to
It influences social care work, because when we are caring for someone we have to be able to recognise that everybody is different and we must not impose our preferences to them. The personal beliefs should be respected and encouraged. Choice We need to be aware that each service user has the right to make choices and also how they can benefit from this. It is important both physically and mentally for a service user to make choices each day. 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.
They may need more or less support in their independance. Their maybe changes in family relationships, preferences in their activities and social needs, accomodation may need to be changed or aids and adaptations made to their environment. It is very important to update a clients careplans with any changes so that all concerned can have all the current information from the client. There are some factors that can influence the capacity of an individual to express consent, these can be mental conditions, (mental capacity), Physical conditions (communication abilities), availability or lack of options. Knowledge of choices, age, participation and engagement.
Understand ways how to reduce the likelihood of abuse We have to encourage more people to speak up if they feel abuse is taking or has taken place and this will reduce the likelihood of abuse taking place or repeating. The likelihood of abuse can be reduced by: * Working with person-centred values - include the individuality of the person, the rights of the individual, the individual’s choice, the individual’s privacy, the individual’s independence, the individual’s dignity and the individual being respected. If an individual is considered to have a say in what he or she wants and is at the centre of any decision, it will be more unlikely that there is abuse. The individual will know what suits him or her and will not get so frustrated.
Human service workers need to be prepared for all situations, and have feedback on how well their programs are working. Typically, the next step in the program planning process is to evaluate the program. It is necessary to have a program evaluation because it brings the results to light. In order to meet the well defined goals and objectives of program planning, it is essential for human service programs to have feedback on the effectiveness of the services they are providing so they can continue to satisfy their consumers. Program evaluation is needed so workers can remove anything from their program that was not needed, or add more attention to another direction of the program.
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. 1.2 Explain why person-centred values must influence all aspects of social care work. To provide the best support to a person, their values must be taken into account and by doing so you will be empowering that person, increasing their self-determination and encouraging their independence. A person’s values will include their individuality, rights, choices, privacy, independence, dignity and respect.
Understand health and safety in the social care settings Learning outcomes and assessment criteria Outcome 2 understanding risk assessments and their importance in relation to health and safety. 2.1 Explain why it is important to assess health and safety risks. It is important to assess health and safety risks, as if you don't assess them, you will not be able to reduce or eliminate any risks that occur. This will result in putting you, your colleagues and your service users as risk and will increase the chance of unnecessary injuries occurring. Outcome 11: safety, availability and suitability of equipment Regulation 16 - (1) the registered person must make suitable arrangement to protect service users and others who may
It may mean that a client would prefer things to be done in a specific way which a carer wouldn’t usually do. In order for the client to be comfortable with the service that the care company provides it need to be established how the client would like things to be done around their own home, it can become a problem if things aren’t done in a way in which a service user likes. 2.3 Explain how you adapt your actions and
There is a danger that efforts to develop person centred planning simply focus on having better meetings. Any planning without implementation leaves people feeling frustrated and cynical, which is often worse than not planning at all. Very often you will only be caring for and supporting people when they are in a vulnerable position. The quality of care that you can provide will be improved if you have knowledge of the whole person, not just the current circumstances: knowledge can help us for example to understand better why people behave in the way they do. A care plan, based on a person centred approach, will help in understanding some of this, but what else might help?
