Principles for implementing Duty of care in Health, Social care or Children’s and Young Persons settings.
1.1
Duty of care means that I provide care and support to individuals, within the law and also within the policies, procedures and agreed rules of my workplace
It is about keeping Young peoples independence, to support and enable them to live within an environment free from prejudice and safe from abuse.
All young people are entitled to their own opinions, choices and we should respect that at all times while promoting them as an individual.
1.2
Duty of care standards are set out for my company and my personal role within the company. They are in place to prevent harm from occurring to ourselves, others and the individual. By giving a young person choice and respecting their views, they know that their independence has not been taken from them, giving them more confidence and dignity. This will help our young people to trust.
The standards are there to enable me to follow the procedures in place e.g. if we are suspicious or aware of abuse, an individual being endangered or poor work practice by another carer or agency.
Reporting and accurate recording are needed to ensure that any form of safeguarding or protection issues are dealt with immediately and correctly.
2.1 Some of the common conflicts or dilemmas to arise are
* Differences of opinion
* Staff falling out,
*Break confidentiality,
*Swearing and behaviour,
* Lack of team work.
2.2
If a conflict arises, I can never force a young person to do or not to do things unless the law or the company Policy allows me to, for example if they want to watch an age-inappropriate film.
In these cases I would seek advice from my line manager, check the young person’s files to see if anything has been noted e.g. a risk assessment and also check the company’s policy. I would record the conflict.
2.3
Extra support would come from,
