1.1: Explain how and why person-centred values must influence all aspects of health and
social care work
The person- centred value provides what can be considered and based on an individual needs-
in order provide the standard quality of care or support. The following are some values,
which underpinned person-centred approach and application when performing our duty of
care in the family or work place:
Individuality- all people should be treated as individual. Allow and support people to
make their choices. Also, the care and support should be provided based on suiting
individual and their needs.
Choices- individuals we care or support should be always given a chance and
supported to exercise choice as an individual. The good practice is to give enough and
appropriate information so that individual can make informed choices themselves.
Rights- individuals we care or support should be put in a position to continue and
maintain the right they had before their medical, mental or physical situations
changed and were living independently. For example: the right to say NO, be in
relationship, choose what to eat and when, how to dress and when, choose friends and
say about how they are supported
Privacy- every individual need private of information and space of respect. For
example: when people having meal, in toilet, shower or bath or care intervention and
personal details/information.
Independency-support work we should encourage and support an individual to
perform activity or do things themselves. Take time and be patient to allow this to
happen. Independence make individual feels in control of life and self-worth
Dignity and respect-this is about how people feel when they are respected. The feel
of importance in society and lives. Preserving an individual dignity it is important:
individuals we supporting should asked how they want to be named, listened, choices
and wishes respected. Dignified people we care or support would not matter whether
are asleep, in or out or dying.
Partnership-working as a team or with other is an essential part of providing care or
support. In order to provide and maintain a high quality of service to people we care

or support we need to cooperate with them and other people this include: colleagues,
professionals, families and friends.
When working in Health and Social Care; it is vital to apply and maintain these values in
every aspect of any piece of work you do and in day to day work/life. Working with people
you need a clear understanding about individuals and their uniqueness’s. These include their
beliefs, cultures, needs, the way of communication, likes and dislikes, families and other
professionals.
1.2 Evaluate the use of care plans in applying person centred values
In health and social care settings, every individual have a personal file where personal or
private information of the particular person can be found. The care plans files are particular
for service users. These are always provide specific information of care needs and support,
which individuals may have and gives the guide of how these needs and support can be
fulfilled. Other important use of individual care plans are:
Use as a primary source of patient information such as names, age, status, families
and friends
All health professionals involved can input and refer to: these include GP, Doctor,
Nurses, therapists, social worker, key workers and other significant professionals
regarding on individual needs
Use person centred values to create a programme of goals- things such personal and
medical information, history of what the person was like and what happened, need of
care or support, like and dislikes, what is able to do and what the range of care or
support needs
Structured on outcomes and how to achieve them- goals or target of the care or
support can be identified-with what, when and how
Reflects total person- what has been achieved and the future plan of the person’s care
or rehabilitation strategies always explained in care plan and can be used to reflect the
person and development made or be achieved
Promotes dignity- history of what people liked or dislikes before the situations can be
mentioned and maintained if documented in personal care plan
Supports diversity-what make this person different from others with same age, sex,
medical situations can be also explained and how to support this
