For example when giving personal care talk to them and ask them if it is ok what you are doing and if they are comfortable with it or if they would like you to do a particular thing in a different way. 1.3) Person centred values should influence all aspects of social care because the very reason you are a care worker is to care for the service user. It should encompass everything you do during your time at the centre
When I’m carrying out all of these, I remember person centred values which helps me to be able to do what’s right for the client or what the client wants before carrying out any activities for the day, I go through my clients care plan but I also ask family of the clients if there has been any changes for example if my client needs to be awake and ready for a certain time, earlier or later than usual set time. I agree with them because it’s their right to change their mind. At this stage we talk together and rearrange. Personal relationships are based on emotions sharing similar attitudes, values and interests. They are also very informal, in personal relationships you share support between each other with feelings and thoughts as you can be who you are with family or friends.
From now on we are following a updated risk assesment plan and moving Mrs.A how she requested. 4. If a relative or friend has made a decision about Mrs. A care, support or life that she is not happy or comfortable with, i need to support Mrs. A to question or challenge the decision.My job is to make sure Mrs. A has a clare understanding. If Mrs. A remains sure that she is not happy with the decision, once she has information i can work with S/U to support her to challenge the decision. Any changes that are made as a result of this challenger must be safe for me, Mrs. A and anyone else involved.
Since working through the PRP course and reading in the PRP Handbook Part One about chaperoning, I have spoken to my Practice Manager about how I can actively help to make staff aware of what being a chaperone requires and how I can make patients realise that a chaperone is available to them. It occurred to me that some medical examinations that were important might have been declined because the patient may have felt vulnerable. The thought of
If they are capable they will be able to tell you how they would prefer to be treated, and what their personal needs are. If they are unable to communicate with you, you could talk to their family; they could provide information about the history and preferences of the client. Another way that would also be useful is to talk to social workers, doctors or any other professional involved in the client’s care, as they will be able to give you information on any medical conditions and needs that you need to be aware of. Bii) Describe two ways of making sure that the history, preferences, wishes and needs of an individual using the service are recognised in support or care plans. Support people with the same respect you would want for yourself or a member of your family.
Every health worker has a duty of care not just to clients but to themselves and work colleagues. If I had concerns about a client’s needs not being met I would inform my manager who could investigate the problem. By documenting my concerns and keep a copy for my own records I see this as part of my own work role. If I feel nothing has been done, I would have to go higher. I believe if you have not been trained in a specific instruction given, you should make it clear you’re unable to do this safely.
Staff should always consent when providing support, if not the client could be at risk of abuse. Av A description of how a social care worker might gain the consent of the individual. To gain consent staff could ask the client, ask them to write the answer down, also from an advocate. Avi An explanation of what the social care worker must do if they are unable to gain consent or if the individual is not able to express themselves. If staff are unsure of whether the client has given consent they should ask again and if consent is not given, staff should seek advice from the Manager or the client’s family.
Workers should always ask a service user first if it is all right to let other people know personal information about them, for example; the individuals date of birth or the individuals’ full name. The exception to this rule is that information can be passed to other care workers, for example; other care workers may need to know important issues about the person or they are taking over another social care worker so they would have to forward it to another care worker. Even when information about a person can be shared, as the examples listed above. The sharing of information should still preserve confidentiality and information should not be passed on to people who do not need it of course, for example; friends or even family members of the service
This helps reduce the possibility of mistakes being made in the service users care and ensuring the correct care is given. It is important to work as a team with your colleagues, so that you all work to achieve the same goals and results. 1.3 Explain why it is important to observe an individual’s reactions when communicating with them It is important to observe the service users reactions when communicating as it informs me as to how they are feeling at the time. They may be upset, or confused, and not understanding what is being said and need comfort and reassurance, they may be angry, and need time to "cool down". As a care worker, it is my responsibility to
If I felt my mental health was threatened by a client I would discuss the issue with my supervisor and try to gain insight and understanding of myself, by doing this I would hope I’d remain fit and competent enough to be able to effectively counsel my client. Although I can never have a responsibility for the safety of my clients I would always want to remain responsible to them and to be committed to improving their wellbeing. The BACP ethical framework can also be used as a guide towards both client and counsellor safety, it presents the values, principals and personal moral qualities that should always be considered when working with clients, the framework is intended to guide how counselling is practiced and seeks to be inclusive of all client abilities, needs culture. It stresses that all the three approaches to good practice should be used together and not as separate, however I feel one of the most important aspects of the ethical framework and one that could always stand alone as a good indicator of safe, acceptable and professional behaviour is the personal moral quality of Integrity: commitment to being moral in dealings with others, personal straightforwardness, honesty and coherence Taking case notes and the Data Protection Act During a course of counselling
