1.2 establish the level and type of support and individual needs for personal care
It is necessary to ensure a service users treatment is both caring and beneficial. As individuals, we have choices that we can make independently, but those in a care environment may have that choice taken away and support services need to ensure that they are offering the best possible care. Their needs include choice, respect and dignity, privacy, confidentiality and independence and we must ensure that we respect these.

The ways agreed with the individual to maintain privacy are, when entering the room the staff member will knock on the door.

If the individual is unhappy with anything the staff member must stop immediately.
