So they must be able to choose how they want their social care to be delivered and to make choices about whom they want to deliver it and when. Privacy Making sure people have their privacy when they want it. Sometimes my clients may want to be private just to have some time to themselves; on other occasions it may be because they are having personal care or medical treatment, or they want to talk to a professional and have confidential information to discuss. Independence Supporting individuals to do as much as they possibly can for themselves to promote their independence.
Another key point in promoting person centred values within a care plan is empowering the customer and knowing they are being listened to. The care provider must respect the customers choices and opinions and they must listen to what the customer wants the care plan must be personal to each customer. Using a care plan would contribute to working in a person centred way because it should be created by the client with the support of the care provider so that the customer has full control over their care, instead of the support plan being created by the care worker where the customer would feel like they have no control. Also, in addition with an individual’s care plan carers should aim to work in a person centred way, helping the customer to feel more in control and happy. I use person centred values in everyday working as I am a very empathic, accepting and compatible man.

Duty of care is synonymous to how care work is adopted according to the best interests of the individual, Therefore you should carry out duty’s in which you are competent and in own job description and if you have the inability to do specific tasks you are well within your grounds to decline certain tasks, which brings me on to another key feature of duty of care which is being accountable for own descions and actions; following certain procedures in all aspects of work including the approptie use of resources and equipment. Furthermore it is paramount that you provide standards of care in line of codes of practice of the settings/service as well as in line with the underpinning values of adult social care the respect of the individual should be the predominant focal point which can be displayed by respecting their rights to preservation of dignity, safeguarding; the need to observe confidentiality; the need to be observant; the importance of induction and regular updating of your own individual skills and knowledge base.

Exercising your duty of care is also a legal requirement, you have to recognise that you are responsible for the welfare of a vulnerable person. People have a right to expect that when a professional is providing support, they will be kept safe and not be neglected or exposed to any unnecessary risks. The expression is that we 'owe' a duty of care to the people we work with. 'Owe' is a useful word to describe the nature of the duty of care because it is just like a debt: it is something that you must pay as part of choosing to become a professional in the field of social care.

For this reason, I believe it is essential to respect and allow clients the right to choose and make their own decisions. In my view, being empathic is a key component to building rapport with the client. It is of great importance to be able to really understand and feel what the client is experiencing from his/her subjective world. This kind of understanding ensures that the client is being understood and his/her experience is acknowledged, and the counsellor is staying within the client’s internal frame of reference.
