Unit 5: Meeting Individual Care and Support
Needs
Level: 3
Unit type: Internal
Guided learning hours: 90
Unit in brief
Learners focus on the principles and practicalities that underpin meeting individuals' care and
support needs, which are the foundation of all the care disciplines.
Unit introduction
For you to be able to provide the care and support that individuals need, it is important that you
have a good understanding of the principles behind providing quality care and support. This unit
introduces you to the values and issues that need to be considered when planning care and support
that meet the needs of an individual in a health and social care environment.
In this unit, you will learn about the values and principles of meeting care and support needs and
look at some of the ethical issues that arise when personalising care. You will examine factors that
can impact the professionals who provide the care and support, and the challenges that must be
overcome to allow access to good quality care and health services. You will explore the different
methods used by professionals across all care services. You will reflect on these methods when you
consider the importance of multi-agency working in providing a package of care and support that
meets all the needs of individuals. In this unit you will draw on your learning from across your
programme to complete assessment tasks.
This unit will be useful if you are intending to pursue a career in social care or healthcare, for
instance as a social worker or health visitors, practice nurse or occupational therapist. The unit will
also be invaluable if you wish to progress to higher education, to degrees in areas such as health
and social care management, social work and nursing.
Learning aims
In this unit you will:
A Examine principles, values and skills which underpin meeting the care and support
needs of individuals
B Examine the ethical issues involved when providing care and support to meet
