The Human Rights Act 1998 makes it a law that health and social care should be based on person-centred values. Having person-centred guidelines provides anti-discrimination practice and helps promote to each individual to their individual needs, their right to equal opportunities, independence, choice, dignity and safety.
All service users and care providers must have their rights put into consideration in order no to feel discriminated against.

Person-centred values must apply at all times as it’s about the individuals and what they want. The way I notice that all individuals have their own likes and can make their own choices. The individuals need to have their own independence and are all different in their own ways and we have to respect this. We must respect their dignity and privacy as it is the individual’s right to be treated fairly at all times throughout no matter what. We must treat every individual the same regardless of any medical conditions, religions, culture and life style and deserves the same care and respect.
• Privacy: It is essential that you respect a service users need for privacy and support this in the way you work. • Partnership: a service user’s care will normally involve other professionals and colleagues and it is that you maintain a good communication with all parties involved. Person-centred care and support requires all key parties to be on board. • Choice: Each service user should be given a choice in relation to their care, in order to make an informed choice it is essential that all the facts are available to the service user. • Dignity; You must maintain a service users dignity at all time, address them in their chosen format, try not to rush and take care to listen to their requirements.
In my work role I also have a responsibility to provide a duty of care to all patients receiving care.

I am expected to ensure that all patients are treated fairly and with dignity and respect, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and diagnosis, and always act in the best interests of the individual whilst allowing them to be as independent as possible.
All people have a basic right to be treated as a unique individual with respect and dignity. 1.2 Explain why person centred values must influence all aspects of social care work Person centred approaches must influence all aspects of health and social care practice.

1.1 A person-centred approach to providing care and support is as important for people who receive services (and their) as it is to staff.

A predominant focus of the training is the safety of the individual and how to maintain a safe, comfortable environment. Our policies and procedures within the work place protect the rights of individuals by making sure that we follow a person-centred approach and treat each case individually, but most importantly equally to any other case.
