This presentation is going to talk about person- centred care, confidentiality, respecting privacy and dignity and protecting from risks and harm. The common core principles are important to every Health and Social Care setting as they provide a basis for a general understanding of promoting good mental health and recognising signs of poor mental health among everyone receiving care and support. The aim of care home are to meet the identified needs of individuals who live in that home. An older person might need to live in that care home for years. It is important for staff to be aware of responsibilities in delivering care to support the individuals who live at that home. These common principles of health will help develop the workforce that respond confidently to the individuals and supporting the life they are leading.

Social Care Supervision refers to the strategies and body of service done within a social care plant in order to improve on the level of performance of the social care workers. Supervision is a critical idea in any social or structured society in which services of high quality and demand are being offered. Many social health care centers in the world are in need of equitable service delivery programs that will oversee a fruitful service reception by the clients. As such, Social Care Supervision refers to this body of knowledge and strategies used to support and instill hard work, quality delivery of products and services, together with a continuum of good delivery of goods and services to the clients (Gray & Brown 2010, p. 45-85).

In both cases there does not appear to have been a governing staff body taking a stand and putting a stop to these behaviours, and no-one reported anything to the governing body CQC (care quality commision) or social services until sygnificant harm had already come to the residents of both these care homes. If these homes had a governing member of staff to ensure all care standards are met, where was their accountability. CQC are the governing body for all health and social care settings, they set out care standards and legislations and requirements that are to be met in each setting. These requirements and standards are normally brought into place by using company policies and procedures, to protect all parties they may vary slightly, but all have to comply with the standards set out in legislations. There are a number of agencies that work together to ensure staff are vetted. The government commisioned the bichard inquiry (2002) and it looked at the way recruitment was carried out, the inquiry led to the safegaurding vulnerable groups act 2006 and the vetting and barring schemes. Which are run by the

Being relatively still new to social care I need to ensure that I find out more about legislation and the essential care standards set down by the CQC (Care Quality Commission) and as Registered Manager the requirements for reporting and providing person centred care.

In this report I will be investigating how care services meet the needs of individuals by firstly analysing the needs of an individual using care services. Then I will go on to explain the roles of the care planning process in identifying needs, and explain the features of a positive care practise. After explaining that, I will analysis positive care environments and evaluate how they meet needs before finally explaining the role of legislation in promoting a positive care environment.

Section 3 is entitled ‘A personalised Adult Social Care System’ and in subsection 3.3 it discusses ‘Systems which act on and minimise the risk of abuse and neglect of vulnerable adults, supported by a network of “champions”, including volunteers and professionals, promoting dignity in local care services.’. This is yet more important policy and guidance which focuses on policy developments in relation to the Safeguarding of vulnerable adults. Although at City Care Partnership we haven’t adopted the system of champions, it’s something that could be given future consideration as we look to improve our own systems. We do have something similar in the form of an organisational Safeguarding lead however, a

‘As social care worker, you must be accountable for the quality of your work and take responsibility for maintaining and improving your skills knowledge ‘.

My responsibility as a care worker is to be aware of the various policies and legislations that will facilitate good practice when supporting my clients to access services and facilities. I am also expected to monitor and evaluate the service provided to ensure it is meeting the needs of the client.

In all aspects of my role I am regulated by my company’s policies and government legalisation. I have been trained in mandatory training courses that cover the Human Rights Act making sure that I understand the legal policies in place to provide the best care for the elderly people I support. I have also been trained in Team Teach which is a course that focuses on positive handling techniques and de-escalating behaviour. This is a effective behaviour management policy that is undertaken by all staff, allowing staff to be consistent in their approach to challenging behaviour and their confidence in dealing with it. By following the team teach policy I am able reinforce good behaviour and develop good skills in listening and learning as well as helping the elderly people feel safe and secure knowing that I am able to deal with their behaviour if it arises. I am responsible for recording and logging any incidents of challenging behaviour as well as logging and discussing the support that was given to the elderly person. My place of work is also inspected regular by CQC who check that our team is following the correct care standards as well as how we encourage positive behaviour. Following this we also have an in-house monthly check where again we are assessed on how well we follow the national

Risk assessments should be carried out regularly to make sure that there are no safe guard threats towards the children in the setting. Childcare settings need risk assessing for example is there entrances and exits to the building that an unauthorised person could use? Could a child leave the setting without anyone noticing? Could a child get seriously hurt due to a broken piece of equipment?

Care Standards Act (2000): it provides for the administration of different care institutions, for adults and children.It ensures that all care provision

Radicalising Social, Care Act 2014 ‘puts people first’ by empowering individuals to utilise their rights, achieve life quality and, with community assistance, become self-sufficient (First, 2007). Endorsed powers and duties within Care Act, protect and enable individuals to acquire relevant supportive measures flowing throughout the spectrum of safeguarding. In achieving these objectives, Care Act works alongside other significant pieces of legislation and policies to strengthen the process (DOH, 2014a). It is becoming increasingly apparent, however, that Care Act could be more effective on various levels, but for the false dichotomy lurking, and jeopardising success, within Adult Social Care.
