Unit 9-Values and Planning P1-P5
P1.
All health and social care sectors have to follow principles and values, principles explain to people what the right way to behave is, whereas values are based on what beliefs are important to the person and what they believe to be right and wrong for themselves as an individual. There are many principles and values such as empowerment, choice, rights, respect and confidentiality.
Empowerment of individuals is important when planning care as this is the way in which a health or social care worker will encourage an individual to make decisions and take control of their own life. Empowerment is a process that builds a person's self-esteem and confidence in their ability to make decisions. This can also be linked to promotion of choice, as it allows individuals to have control over their lives by choosing what they want for themselves such as what clothes they want to wear or how they want their hair. Carers should allow individuals to make choices for themselves if they are independent enough.
All health and social care organisations have to respect and value all individuals, despite their religious or cultural beliefs or attitudes. By embracing diversity it demonstrates to care workers and individuals how valuing each other in our daily behaviour can have a positive impact on working practices and the culture of the organisation. This can be linked to promotion of rights, as all individuals have a right to confidentiality, choice, to be acknowledged and respected. Have the right not be discriminated against, to be able to practice their cultural and religious beliefs and to receive equal and fair treatment according to their needs at all times.
All care workers who provide care for people who are vulnerable have to ensure they recognise their preferences. This will allow the individual to stay in control of their own lives, individuals should be able to say which type of support they wish to receive according to their needs. For example an elderly lady
