1. Principles and values
a. Show how you promote the principles and values essential for working with children; young people their families and their carers.
.At Clayfields house all children, young people their families and carers are all treated with respect. Families and carers are always updated on children’s or young people’s progress during their time at Clayfields and any deterioration in their behaviour or health will be notified to carers and families. Young people and children are always treated with respect as we call them by the name they want to be called, offer culturally food for them, we always ask young people to do their job rather than tell them to.
All young people at Clayfields are treated as equals. At Clayfields we use an incentive scheme which is reliant upon a points system (see appendix 2). Each young person has a chance to gain or lose points through out the day which is based upon behaviour, interaction with young people and staff, participation in activities and behaviour at meal time. These points will be added up at the end of the week and based upon scores they can receive rewards.
We treat all young people, families and carers as individuals. Young people are individually assessed using risk assessments (see appendix 1), behaviour management plan, health assessments etc. This means that all young people have their own care plan that is specific to them and isn’t a generalisation as a young person/child in their position.
b. Know the service standards or codes of practice concerning principles and values relevant to your work.
Principles and values relevant to my work are in the Codes of Practice. For the worker it is a right to training, opportunities for personal development, and support through supervision, target setting that is realistic and attainable, good employment practice and a safe working
