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.

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.

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.
The values which one person feels are important in their life may not be so to another.
