Person-centered values provide a foundation on which we can base and build our practice. We need to understand what the values are, how we can promote them and why they are important. A value is simply what is important in the life of the person we are supporting.

Level 2 Health & Social Care Introduction to communication in health, social care or children’s and young people’s settings. Unit 4222-201 Outcome One 1.1 Identify different reasons why people communicate. People communicate to develop positive relationships, to share information, to gain knowledge on an individual and use this information to ensure an individual’s wishes, preferences and needs are met. Not everyone communicates in the same way, it is important that you communicate with people in a way that suits them. Communication methods can include verbal and non-verbal communication.
These standards are modified on the basis of need and not on the basis of practitioner preference. Applying the principle of equality requires practitioners to take an active stance to ensure systems, processes and practices do not unduly disadvantage those who receive the service, within my role this is staff, carers and the young people. A popular model of promoting equality is through the equal opportunities approach. To understand equality it is necessary to understand that all individuals should have the same opportunities to achieve good outcomes. This approach is based around the starting point for all individuals being the same.
Confirm with others own understanding of the support required for care plan activities. If the individual likes something done in another way record in the care plan so the next carer is aware and let the office know. Outcome 2. Provide support for care plan activities in accordance with the care plan and with the agreed ways of working. The care plan will contain information on what support is needed for that visit, it identifies the level of support that a client requires with their health, personal and social care needs and should be followed.
2. As a carer it is your responsibility to support service users to express themselves. The way in which you can achieve this is by assessing their needs, access information regarding their communication needs, providing the appropriate support, aids or equipment, encouraging and motivating communication, working with others and by monitoring the effectiveness of that support. Without the appropriate support the individual would be unable to express their needs or how they are feeling which can lead to both emotional and physical difficulties. By fully supporting service users with specific communication needs you are able to support their rights.
1 Understand the principles and practice of person-centred thing,planning and reviews. 1.1 Explain what person -centred thinking is, and how it relates to person-centred reviews and person centred planning. Person centred thinking is a set of values, skills and tools used in getting to know someone by Person Centred Planning and in personalising of services used by people who need supports provided by social or health care. It is separating what is important to, from what is important for the individual and finding a balance between them. It reflects what is important to the person (now and for the future) and specifies the support they require to make a valued contribution to their community.

It is therefore important for the carer to be aware of the individuals preferred method of communication and also to support the individual to use their preferred method.

CU1676- Facilitate Person-Centred Assessment. The Holistic approach is important in going forward the way service users are assessed and implementing the planning for an individual support package.

With the Holistic approach it means to look at the whole person.
