Person centred values make sure that the care is planned around a specific individual and that they are at the heart of every decision. Throughout a health and social care setting being able to demonstrate person centred care can involve professionals, families, the individual and carers. Aspects of daily care should involve person centred values because each resident is different and will need to be treated as an individual. As a carer I demonstrate person centred values by relating to what each resident would like, what care they need, what assistance they will accept and treating each resident as a separate person but at the same time treating everyone equally.
The Care Standards Act 2000 outlines National care standards that are to be fulfilled in health and social care settings by all staff.

If I should need support for my own learning and development within my role as a carer I can ask my nurse in charge or my manager at any point. Having regular supervisions and appraisals help in this effect. I can also refer to service users care plans or ask my manager for training on things I may find difficult.
Respecting individual’s rights when working in a health and social sector is important as you need to ensure that all of your patients/customers are happy with the level of care and support that they are receiving.

All part of people’s rights, each individual has the right not to be discriminated against because of their individual background.
