    UNIT 503 2

    1.1 An understanding of the positive values of equality, respect for diversity and inclusion in care work is paramount and the importance of it never underestimated. Circumstances, which bring individuals into contact with support workers/carers by very nature, would suggest that the recipients of that care are likely to be vulnerable in one way or another. Inevitably, whilst caring for others and engaging with them about situations about their lives often involves some exercise of power, which has potential to be misused and abused. How the care/support worker understands and approaches the responsibility of their role will have a direct impact on either increasing equality and getting rid of discrimination and disadvantage, or helping to reinforce, perpetuate or even increase inequality, discrimination and disadvantage. It is argued that discrimination is often made worse unwittingly and arises from ignorance, insensitivity or common beliefs that are not challenged. Discrimination has no place in care contexts. The role of the care manager is promoted as a key organisational value. Raising staff awareness about equality, diversity and inclusion, encouraging debate and devising strategies of care that empower rather than the opposite are essential features of the manager’s role.…

    Outcomes Based Practice – Underpinning Theories and Principles

    If the emphasis that the Care Quality Commission (CQC) has placed on the importance of outcomes is anything to go by, providers of care and support services in today’s care environment may imperil themselves if they do not work to achieve and demonstrate desirable outcomes with and for the people they support in whatever capacity. This much is evident in the way that the CQC in its publication (Guidance about compliance - Essential Standards of Quality and Safety, 2010) highlights what the expected outcomes are to be and then identifies the specific regulations that would lead to meeting the outcome. It is very clear that outcomes are very important. What is perhaps not so clear is determining what outcomes are. Many professionals especially frontline staff who deliver the specific intervention that is supposed to demonstrate the achievement of desired outcomes do not appear to clear as to what this sometimes nebulous term requires of them. Although many careworkers do regularly deliver support that is geared towards achieving outcomes, and although they witness regularly the outcomes of their input into the lives of the people they support, ask the average careworker to demonstrate the outcomes they have helped a person achieve, and they seem to think that they are expected to produce a thesis on the subject, searching for ‘professional’ sounding words and phrases in the attempt.…

    Unit 411 Health And Social Care Essay

    Working as a support worker for young adults, among other responsibilities, solely requires maintenance of a safe environment for the young adults to be cared for, while promoting wellbeing. Maintaining a safe environment involves a series of inter-twined activities which include monitoring and reporting the activities of the individuals in care on a day-to-day base. Considering that the activities are carried out by multiple individuals in different placements within the United Kingdom, with different attitudes and operation patterns, the need for regulation to foster uniformity and consistency within all organisations has not been ignored. The National Occupational Standard covers all fields of job roles at diverse levels of responsibility, identifying and expressing the most appropriate and generally acceptable practice in specific fields, bringing…

    Health and Social Care

    The intention is to confirm the standards required in social care and ensure that workers know what standards of conduct employers, colleagues, service users, carers and the public expect of them. The General Social Care Council began its work on  October 00, at the same time as the Northern Ireland Social Care Council, the Scottish Social Services Council, and the Care Council for Wales. The councils have a duty to develop codes of practice and have worked together in developing these codes as part of their contribution to raising standards in social care services. The two codes for workers and employers are presented together because they are complementary and mirror the joint responsibilities of employers and workers in ensuring high standards.…
