Task A
Ai:
Three differences between a working relationship and a personal relationship are:
A working relationship is a relationship that remains professional within the workplace where as a personal relationship you may spend time with someone out of work hours.
A personal relationship is a relationship in which information sharing is unlimited yet a working relationship information sharing is on a need to know basis with colleagues, residents and other professionals.
A personal relationship is one of choice with someone you like and share common interests where as a working relationship may be with someone you may not usually be friends with but have to form a team with that person and work under certain rules.
Aii:
One example of a working relationship in an adult social care setting is the relationship between carer and resident. This relationship is important as you need to maintain a professional duty of care. Another example would be between the senior in charge and the G.P. When a G.P comes to see a resident that is poorly they are relying on the carers and the senior in charge to inform them of any changes in that resident so they need to be professional at all times.
Aiii:
It is important that social care workers work in partnership with individuals using the service and their families because we all have a common interest in doing whats best for the individual and keeping them from harm. The service user is there because they may not have someone that can look after them the way they need therefore involving families and help to improve the way you care for them. For example, you might think that “Doris” may like going to bed at 10pm every night but is always very tired during the day after getting up at 7am. The family can tell you that in fact “Doris” used to go to bed at 9pm and likes getting up at 8am when she was at home. It is essential to establish and maintain
