Reablement is a short term support that lasts an average of 6 to 8 weeks. Reablement helps provide personal care with daily activities. This helps encourage service users to develop the confidence, skills and self-esteem to carry out their activities themselves so they can stay living at home. The purpose of reablement is to enable the clients to re-learn the normal daily functions that we may take for granted, for example; - making and drinking a cup of tea without any help”.

The first act I looked into was the mental health, care and treatment Scotland act 2003. This is an act that sets out how you will be treated if you have a mental illness like dementia, a learning disability or a personality disorder and lets you know what your rights are. This act also allows an individual make an advanced statement stating how they would like to be treated, if they became too unwell in the future to make that decision. The mental health, care and treatment act is monitored by the mental welfare commission Scotland. This act is relevant to reablement as it helps reablement carers to understand the person’s wishes for treatment and helps the person being cared for know what they are entitled to. Also the mental welfare commission Scotland carries out regular inspections to make sure no ill-treatment is happening and also to check people’s welfare, physically and …show more content…
The support worker has a code of conduct. The code sets the standard of conduct expected of healthcare support workers and adults social care workers. This outlines the behaviors and attitudes that people should expect to receive from those who have signed up to the code. The code of conduct helps to provide safe, compassionate care and support, it supports and protects the right of the individual and this code is taken into practice with traditional care, with nurses and care workers having a hands on approach and doing everything for them, making sure they are safe and well looked after and their needs are met. However with reablement the care worker or nurse may have to explain to the person that even they are physically taking a step back in doing everything for them, they are still caring for them and have their full respect and attention to care. The only difference is that the person being cared for can stay at home and will be taught how to live independently again avoiding long unnecessary stays in
A resident's name or conditions cannot be discussed with anyone other than the care team. Photos and other personal information can't be shared on social media sites and to maintain privacy and emails containing a resident's personal should not be sent because there is a possibility the email will be sent to the wrong person or someone may have access to your account. Information regarding a resident should only be discussed in person to ensure that only the necessary personnel know. When seeing a resident in public, you should not mention knowing them from a care facility in case they wish to keep that a secret from the person they may be with.

Over the last century health and social care has changed and developed immensely with the implementation of the NHS and becoming a welfare state. Prior to this health care was only available to a minority of people, those who could afford it. In 1815 the old poor law was passed, it stated that each parish must look after its own poor and those who could not work were provided enough money to help them survive. By 1830 the poor law cost around £7 million, which came from taxing the middle and upper class, causing a sense of resentment towards lower class, unemployed people. In 1834 the new poor law was passed, its aim was to reduce the cost of looking after the poor. Workhouses helped with this, they provided clothes, food and healthcare in return for manual labour. Despite
Task 2: Understand how to implement a person-centred approach in an adult social care setting.
C2/B2 There are some standards that must be met when supporting the changes and transition that the child could go through. The standards are making sure that the setting is a child centred, putting the child first, ensuring the child's welfare and safety, promoting children's rights, working in partnership with parents while respecting their contribution and culture and customs and values of their families, supporting the child's individual needs, respecting their families background and structure while working with professionals and maintaining confidentiality. Every setting must be child centred as it will help the child to deal and understand what the transition is and how it is best to deal with it. Also with a child centred practice

because they cant afford that extra care to look after them. It can also mean that cultural needs are not met. Someone from a different culture will have different dietary needs, if there is not much money, other options of food might not be bought. This could also mean that prayer mats are not bought, leading to loss of rights to someone who is unable to fulfil their cultural needs. If there is not much money, then there may be less staff to look after everyone, meaning there will be a lower standard of care given.
For this assignment, I interviewed a parent of a child who does not have an IEP or receive special education services. Through this interview I was able to learn how parents of children with no special needs are aware of the inclusion classrooms.
Numerous organisations provide guidance to address a range of issues, in a health and social care setting for example; staff members adhere to protocols and guidelines. These are formal sets of instructions about what should happen within the organisation as well as providing guidance about what to do in particular circumstances. It is also used to provide detailed step-by-step instructions or rules by which organisations agree to be bound. In this essay I will begin by describing the advantages and the disadvantages of having protocols and guidelines in place, weighing up whether or not they are a useful way to ensure good quality care.
In health and social care there are various acts, procedures and systems that are executed to guarantee the health and security of all people and workers. Within the reference of health and social care context will consider on the impact of enactment and national guidelines and clarify how they advance and expand the privileges of service users. These will incorporate "The Human Rights Act 1998, The Data Protection Act, The Care Standards Act 2000 and the Disability Discrimination Act (1995) in paper will likewise represent how different components, for example, communication, policies and procedures play a critical part in enhancing and boosting the privileges of service users of health and social care services.
In terms of The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the act places a general duty on employers to ensure so far as is reasonably practicable the health, safety and welfare at work of all their employees. Guidelines: Guidelines are related to all of these, but act more like advisory procedures that employees should follow at all times. Some examples of guidelines according to NICE are: • Antimicrobial prescribing guidelines • Cancer service guidelines • Clinical guidelines
The legislation that governs adult social care is embedded within the Care Act 2014 (CA). Prior to the CA self-neglect was not a safeguarding issue, only neglect involving a perpetrator; self-neglect is now clearly separated into neglect and added as a distinct category of abuse within the CA. The CA covers a range of self-neglect behaviours such as health, personal hygiene, environment and hoarding and all behaviours are now guided under Safeguarding adult’s procedures, CA (2014) and Safeguarding Adults Boards (SAB) and Safeguarding Adults Reviews (SAR) where death of SN has occurred (Braye el al. 2015?). Now it is legal to invoke a Section 42 enquiry if we suspect or have evidence that 1) Amy needs care and support 2) the adult is at risk of abuse of neglect 3) as a result is unable to protect themselves from the risk of abuse or neglect, Section 42 of the Care Act 2014. A Section 42 enquiry is dependent on whether the Amy is unable to protect herself.
For example if someone doesn’t feel safe then we have to do whatever we can to make sure they feel safe, like they are at home, or if there isn’t a way 3) Service users have the right to be treated equally, as if they aren’t people can be getting more from the care home then other people are. If this happens patients might feel unwanted and feel like they’re not important anymore. 4) Service user have the right to dignity as if they don’t they won’t do as instructed. If someone has always been told to use the toilet and they have been instructed to use the pad that the nurses have given them, then they won’t go and just keep calling out that they need the
