Level 3 Unit 59 Knowledge Questions Provide Support to Maintain and Develop Skills for Everyday Life 1. (1.1)Compare methods for developing and maintaining skills for everyday life. Doing skills in everyday life allows us to meet our individual needs. We can maintain support for the service users in their everyday life by discussing their needs with them and how they want to approach these needs. If applicable we can involve their next of kin to discuss what would be best for the service user and what they would like them to achieve.
Unit 317 Provide support for individuals within a shared lives arrangement Outcome 1 Understand how to establish the needs, background, experiences, wishes, preferences and choices of an individual 1. The importance of getting to know a person is vital. Without learning about an individual you can not put in place any form of care or support plan and without these you can not provide care efficiently or effectively. The more you get to know a person the more you can do for them and give confidence that they're respected as an individual and their needs will be met. 2.
Assessment 1 1) Perform research on the topic of personal work planning. In your own words, explain the importance of creating and maintaining personal work plans. If you are not working, but are part of an association or know of an organisation, please answer the question accordingly. It's important to develop effective strategies for managing our time at work to balance the time for more and less important or urgent and important tasks rather than those that are not so important. A personal work plan helps us to stay organized, meet deadlines and complete all the tasks involved in our job.
Person Centred Planning is a method of supporting individuals and empowering them to take charge of the direction of their life and make goals which are achievable and ultimately lead to greater social inclusion and good quality of life in every aspect from good mental health to helping them achieve and overcome physical disabilities. Learning difficulties and disability has previously been approached by being agency focused, so the agency decided the goals for them and set their targets. Multi disciplinary meetings would be held and the individual’s disability and skills assessed and their care would be around that, therefore putting the disability first and not the whole person. Getting started with person centred thinking One of the best tools to start with is the 'One Page Profile' it is essentially a list of what people like and admire about the person, what the service user is telling us is important to them, and a description of what great support looks like for them:- everyone should have one! The one page profile can then be
Identify practical changes that could be mad within a service setting to promote and individual’s independence In promoting individual independence, the aim would be to develop confidence with well-being. There would have to be available facilities for individuals to prepare their own meals. Showing the individual how to hoover their room and leaving the hoover for them in an accessible place and having an inspection rota as a means of motivating them to clean their rooms. Whilst supporting informed choices through information in the medium the individual easily understands. Having notice boards for general information and the preferred method of communication.
Supporting people to be as independent as possible. Treating people with dignity and respect. Recognising that working with people is a partnership rather than a relationship controlled by professionals. By placing all these together the care plan is tailor-made to that particular person. 1.2 Explain why it is important to work in a way that embeds person centred values The values that underpin our work have an impact on our day to day work.
Research and knowledge of these policies ensures that I work to required legal expectations for the benefit of myself, colleagues, employers and the service user. 1.3 Open mindedness and a commitment to the job role should void any prejudices or ignorance that could potentially affect the quality of service to the service user. Be professional and concentrate solely on the job with which one is employed to do, leaving personal beliefs and opinions that may differ from service user at home. 2.1 Reflection on ones own practise is beneficial in that it enables you to assess what is done to a satisfactory standard and what areas need improvement. Reflection on own standards can enhance quality of service provided, becoming more aware, increase job satisfaction and work efficiency.
2.1 Being able to reflect on our actions and our own experiences allows us to learn from them and adapt our behaviour and give us a better understanding of ourselves, our knowledge and workplace practices , ultimately improving the quality service. 2.2 As a care worker you don’t need any qualifications but by attending extra training sessions and gaining qualifications in the health and social care sector is a way of assessing your own
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
“Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone I've ever known.” ― Chuck Palahniuk. A person will often feel apprehensive when they are not involved and connected to a certain group but this is when we need to understand and learn to be autonomous and not be necessarily dependent on others. This is when we might find ourselves disconnecting with those surrounding us in order to revaluate ourselves. It is of utmost importance to carefully choose the people we associate with, as we are greatly influenced by our own peer group because they can assist in developing a strong individual identity.
