1.1 Explain how and why person centred values must influence all aspects of health and social care work. Person centred values influence all aspects of health and social care work, for the reason that by law requirements in regards to the Human Rights Act 1998, Health and Social Care Act 2012, along with Codes of Practice for Social Care Workers, health and social care should be based on person centred values. In the interest of individuals who are receiving care, it enables them to be treated with respect and dignity, involving their own needs beliefs and identities, as well as to be supported to remain independent as much as possible. Person centred values also involve individuals to be supported to access their rights, as well as providing anti-discrimination practices together with promoting equal opportunities for individuals, and presenting choices and safety. Ultimately, it is all about diverse people who are involved in health and social care work, so therefore, the values that influences care must be person centred.
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.
Therefore to treat and care for us we need different choices based on our personal needs and desires. 1.3 Person centred values should influence all aspects of social care work to make sure that an individual is, - supported to maintain their right to dignity, independence, choice and safety. - Protecting them from abuse. - Providing Person-centred care - Accept their identity and beliefs - Promoting anti-discriminatory practice. 2.1 Finding out about the history, preferences, wishes and needs of an individual will paint the whole picture of that person.
1.2 Critically review approaches to Person Centred Practice One approach to Person Centred Practice is treating everyone as an individual. Laws such as the Human Rights Act 1998, Health and Social Care 2012, mandate that each person should have the right to be treated as an individual and that needs, wishes and opinions all be taken into consideration. Care planning and Health Action Planning have a key role in person centred approaches. There are a number of different approaches to providing person centred care. One is knowing the service user as an individual.
Unit 4222-319 Facilitate person centred assessment, planning, implementation and review (HSC3020) What needs to be borne in mind during assessment and review? * There must be trackable evidence of the continuous assessment, monitoring, evaluation and outcomes in relation to the social, psychological, physical and health needs of the service user. * Only record real evidence of planning for purposeful action taken by any people who offer care, support and services to meet the individual service user’s preferences and needs. * The care plan must be factual, informative, useful and not subjective opinion. * All staff involved in the individuals care and support must know the details of the care plan in order to deliver the appropriate care and support for the individual and the plan must be designed by a person who is competent in assessment and care planning.
