This unit will enable students to recognise the value of a person-centred approach to adult health and social care. The focus of the unit is on person-centred values and the reasons why these should influence all aspects of care work. This is further explored by comparing and contrasting a range of care models
The use of the person centred approach is investigated with regard to the formation and use of care plans in ensuring that individuals have their needs, preferences and wishes addressed.
The use of personal histories is explained and their value analysed in respect of contributing to the promotion of self-esteem and individual identity. The unit also discusses issues around risk management and their place in a person-centred approach to care and support.
