The care value base

The care value base was devised by the care sector consortium in 1992 in order to provide a common set of principle and values for workers and professional in health and social care. The care value base consists of:

Confidentiality

Confidentiality means keeping the information that you have on others stored in a private place which should only be release to people on a "need to know basis" for example if you a being referred to a psychiatrist by your doctor they would need access to some of your medical history .Client in a care setting must know that they can trust their career because this can damaged their self esteem if this confidential information have been shared. There are also legal requirements for information to be kept confidential.

Rights and responsibility

Everybody has their own rights. They have the rights to their own belief and lifestyle). No human being has the right to damage other people quality of life (this is exempt for people in care home because they are not totally free to do what they want e.g. they have to eat at a certain time) in care setting career must respect the rights of their clients. They also have the right to receive treatment at the hospital. They also have the right to go straight to the hospital to have an emergency operation if there is serious damage.

They also have the right not to be stereotyped people may make assumption biased on stereotyping thinking for example a carer working with old people may say I'll will just go in and wash and dress this next one I wont ask what she would like me to do because she old and old people don't remember so it does not matter what I do. Stereotyping thinking like this may cause us to discriminated against others

Skilled caring is when we are interested in people individual difference stereotyping lumps people together as if they are all the same and stops us from being good careers.

Anti discrimination

Discrimination means treating person or a group in a different way from other just because of their age, sexual orientation, gender, religion, belief, culture, disability, health, appearance. Discrimination can either be negative or positive, when used on it own the word usually refers to a negative discrimination, but when used with anti before it, it then becomes positive Meaning to prevent discrimination.

Equality and diversity

When we are talking about equality we mean that people should be treated equal. Diversity means being different. What make people different are their personality, appearance, opinions, belief, culture, and dress

In conclusion the care value base outlines the basic principles and values for careers and clients in health setting. It also specifies how quality of care might be understood. Cares use the care value base to monitoring their own behaviour in relations.

According to case study 2 Mrs Bhogal we can see that she has certain rights and responsibility from the table below I will indemnify these rights and responsibilities and show how they are promoted and protected and protected by the care value base.

Mrs Bhogal husband had died so therefore she has the right to receive counselling by the local authority and social service. It is also un-ethical to say that she cannot have counselling for such and such reason because that would be discrimination. And also she has an emotional need which she should not be deprived of. Things like having a loved died is a very hard live change to go through it can cause people to become very withdrawn from society this is why mrs Bhogal may need counselling.

Mr Bhogal has the right to receive treatment for her hip because she has physical need. The NHS is statutory (statutory means it is there by law) cannot say that she is not entitled to get physiotherapy for hip because that would be un-ethnic and a sigh of discrimination. It is also the responsibility of the NHS to provide services and treatment. With a hip dislocation it makes it harder for Mrs Bhogal move around doing every day activity and also going out to socialize with friends this is why she may need the treatment because it would be depriving Mrs Bhogal of her social and physical development

Mrs Bhogal has the right to receive learning support to help her speak fluent English and it is the local authority and social services responsibility to provide this service to her. This will come under Mrs Bhogal intellectual need.

Mrs Bhogal has a problem of going upstairs to use the toilet because of her hip operation might make it hard to tackle the stairs so it will the responsibility of the local authority and social service to give her support her by giving her one of those chair that you sit in and it carry you up the stairs, but this might cost to much money so another alternative would be to move her to a different house or providing a care worker to help her move up the stairs where everything is on one level. By doing this they would not be discriminating against her but they would be promoting anti discrimination and helping her in her physical need. By giving Mrs Bhogal a chose of what she wants to happen would make Mrs Bhogal feel empowered to make her own choices of what she wants to happen.

In order to promote and protect Mrs Bhogal rights we should not discriminate against her. We use the code of conduct of the care value base to promote this which is

Confidentiality

Personal data is information relating to an individual who can be identified from those data or other information that might become available to anyone in the university or anyone we do business with. Confidentiality is a human right for person details to be kept confidential. The data protection 1988, the access to personal files act 1987 and the access to health record act 1990 makes it illegal to pass information onto others but to be kept confidential. The data protection act was made for a reason if the information held on that person was passed around to other people this may result in that person feeling discriminated against. The data protection consists of eight principles which are listed below:

The Data Protection Act 1998 requires that data controllers process personal data in accordance with eight Principles. These require that personal data are:

. fairly and lawfully processed; -this is to make sure that discrmination deos not take place whilst the data is been processed, for instance Mrs bhogal personal data

2. processed for limited purposes;

3. adequate, relevant and not excessive; this is to make sure that only certain information is held relevant on Mrs bhogal

4. acurate; Mrs bhogal could be falsely accussed

5. not kept longer than necessary; Mrs bhogal information should be deleted when no longer need to prevent people messing upher information

6. processed in accordance with individuals' rights; care setting are obliged to following the principle when holding information on clients like Mrs bhogal

7. kept secure; this can be used to ensure that Mrs bhogal information is not destroyed or tampered with

8. not transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area without adequate protection. This is to make sure that discrimination does not take place on Mrs bhogal behalf

If Mrs bhogal information is not been kept confidential she would most probably be a victim of discrimination and not only the trust between her career and her will be destroyed along with her self esteem this is why her data should be protected by the data protection act

Equality and diversity

When we say equlity we are talking about being equal. Diversity means being different. What makes people being different are their personality, appearance, opinions, belief, culture, and dress. We can overcome diversity discrimination by respecting that other people are different.

How do we value diversity?

No two human beings on earth are the same because of this people make assumption; they tend to think that they are better than others. People will judge and say that they are "not right "or "not normal". People must be able to learn about the different diversity. When learning about diversity we as people should listen and observe other people response. Maybe by learning about other people culture and belief we might find them exciting and interesting but some may find it boring but we will still have to respect ...
