Unit SHC36 Promote person centred approaches in health and social care 2.2 How do you use care plans when applying person centred values A person and their needs should be at the centre of the support process. A carers role is to make sure that a person has every opportunity to state how they wish their needs to be met. This is especially important when the issues regarding the person are difficult or of a sensitive nature. Person centred working is about putting people in control of their lives, whether it be a new service user or a person who has been “stuck in the system” for many years. Most places will have a format (usually a care plan) for identifying needs such as: * What they are able to do independently * Personal Care * Nutritional Needs * Daily Life * Choice and Control * Risks * Medications * Work, leisure and learning * Physical and mental health It is important that everything is included in the care plan.
WRITTEN QUESTIONS Unit Title: Principles for implementing duty of care in health, social care or children’s and young people’s settings Unit sector reference: SHC34 Candidate name: ……… ……………………………………………………………. Answer the following questions, give examples where necessary. Question | Answers | 1.1 Explain what it means to have a duty of care in own work role | As a professional working within health care, it is necessary and very important that we follow a code of practice which is set out by each employer in all work settings; this involves putting the needs and interests of those that we care for first. It is vital to keep everyone in our care safe from harm and unnecessary risk, which means we need to ensure that no individual in our care is abused or neglected. Also planning the day and having a routine which best fits around each individual ensuring that their best interests and personal choices come first.
It ensures that the care provider promotes in a care setting an environment that encourages the practice of the care values with all of the service users as individuals. Active participation can be applied to every aspect of the health and social care sector service, from including the service user to participate in forming their care plan , to encourage the service user to pursue or maintain the hobbies they enjoy. To encourage the service user to socialize and stay in touch with family and friends. It can be used to promote independence in all aspects of the service users daily life for example, To self medicate or to take responsibility / control of their own finances.
Introduction to duty of care in health, social care or children’s and young people’s settings SHC24 Understand the implications of duty of care OUTCOME 1 1. Define the term “Duty of care” Health and social care professionals have a “duty of care” to ensure the wellbeing of service users. We all have a “Duty of care” to consider the effects of our actions upon other people who may be affected. In health and social care this basic principle includes following the various rules and legal obligations that surround our work. Your workplace will have a set of policies and procedures, which you must follow.
UNIT CU2942 PROMOTE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Understand principles of professional development 1.1 – Explain the importance of continually improving knowledge and practice Within my professional role as a Health and Social Care Trainer, I have a responsibility to engage in continual professional development. I must continually improve my knowledge so I have the skills to pass on to our social care workers and other staff members. I need to know what I am aiming for and what I need to do to meet my objectives. I need to be a positive role model to all staff members. Working in the Health and Social Care industry I think the most important thing is the service users and our health and social care workers and their happiness.
CU2637 – Support Individuals to Meet Personal Care Needs 1.1 Encourage an individual to communicate their needs, preferences and personal beliefs affecting their personal care 1.2 Establish the level and type of support and individual needs for personal care Working with the service users that I do means that they are dependant on me to complete all levels of their personal care. Whilst they are unable to do things for themselves they are however often able to at least express their wishes, whether it be what colour shirt they wish to wear or whether or not they want a shave or to have their hair washed. Before commencing their personal care I therefore ensure that as many choices are given to them as possible. Each service user requires different levels of assistance for their personal care. Some service users require me to wash, dry and dress them as well as preparing meals and feeding them, whereas others are able to undress, wash their own hair and bodies then dry and dress themselves with little assistance.
A person’s values will include their individuality, rights, choices, privacy, independence, dignity and respect. 1.3 Eplain how person-centred values should influence all aspects of social care work. Health and social care should be based on person-centred values, and should be individualised as this is a requirement by law (Human Rights Act 1998, Health and Social care Act 2012, Codes of practice for Social Care Workers, etc). 2. Understand how to implement a person-centred approach in an adult social care setting.
Health Act 1999 Partnership working is a key element of practice in the health and social care setting. The idea of power sharing, consultation and joint ways of working are essential to effective service provision. Understanding the importance of promoting autonomy with individuals is necessary with all professionals working in health and social care, and appreciating their own roles and responsibilities and how they relate to others in the sector. Our company, and home, think creatively about recruitment and with little training, clients are also welcomed to be involved during the initial interview stage. During recruitment, throughout training and career progression effective partnership is always looked at.
For instance, do not let them get online in a private room, such as their bedroom, so it will be easier to keep an eye on their activity. Furthermore, it is important to build trust with children and teenagers regarding being responsible for using the internet safely (Raising Children Network 2012, p2). Thus, parents should draw a strict line between what children can do and cannot do, and there can be a reward for them if they are obey the rule. It is believed that the internet may bring many unexpected risks. Children and teenagers could meet strangers online and may even experience abuse, such as bullying and paedophiles, in chat rooms (Raising Children Network 2012, p4).
