Privacy and Dignity

Description

Welcome to the Halo Staffing eLearning course for Standard 7 – Privacy and Dignity of the Care Certificate. In this course we’ll go through everything you’ll need to know in order to be able to treat individuals with the privacy and dignity they deserve.

The first section will cover being able to describe what privacy and dignity are, what situations they might be compromised in, and how to maintain an individual’s privacy and dignity in a work setting.

Following that will be coverage of the actions you can take to promote an individual’s privacy and dignity, how to maintain privacy and dignity at all times, the importance of not disclosing personal information, and when you should report relevant concerns.

The third section will be on supporting rights to choose, involving giving an individual all of the information they need to make an informed choice, what risk assessments are and how to use them, why your views must not affect the choice an individual makes, and how to help an individual challenge decisions made for them by others.

After that, supporting individuals with their informed choices, using risk assessments to support the rights of individuals, making sure that your views do not affect any choices that are made, and how you should report relevant concerns, along with who you should make those reports to, will all be covered.

From there, supporting active participation will be covered, touching on the importance of valuing the contributions of people, how to enable people to make informed choices on their lives, other ways you can support active participation, and helping people to develop their skills in self care and maintaining friendships.

Finally, what will be covered will be supporting an individual to participate in their own care, including how to demonstrate your support to an individual, how to reflect on your own views and ways they could affect the choices of an individual, and who and when to report relevant concerns to.
