INTRODUCTION
Principle of health and social care clearly defines the way with the help of which
patients should be treated by different care workers as well as individuals. There are different
rules and regulations which must be followed by care workers at the time of taking proper
care of patients. In this respect, the present report is based on the different cases as per the
given scenario. Further, varied type of discussion is going to be entailed in the present study
on the basis of different cases. For this, principle of support is going to be explained with the
several procedures for protecting clients. In addition to this, policy, legislation, regulation,
codes of practice and standards on organization policy and practice are specified (Dolea and
et.al, 2010). By mentioning all these practices, providers can easily deliver best services in an
effective manner. Moreover, various theories that underpin health and social care practice are
going to be discussed in the present scenario.
TASK 1
1.1 How principles of support are applied to guarantee that Ahmed and Sylvia are cared for in
Health and Social Care practice
Angela is a care worker for Ahmed and Sylvia and she has noticed that caring for
Ahmed is increasingly exhausting for Sylvia, who is Ahmed’s informal carer. In order to
guarantee that they both are cared by Angela there are various principles which must be
supported such as respecting diversity and dignity, privacy, independence etc (Martin, 2010).
As per the given case, Angela decided to amend a care plan of Ahmed without discussing
with Sylvia. This has highly affected the situation of Sylvia as she already had information
about this. Both of them (Ahmad and Sylvia) are not given independence as they were
suffering from disease. Dignity: It is considered as a major point which should be maintained. It is quite
essential to determine that not any of their customers of patient lay down by any
member working at the centre. Angela must treat both of them (Ahmad and Sylvia) in
very well manner by respecting them (Butler, 2006). Their problems should be heard
so that appropriate care can be provided to them. Choice: Angela need to consider exactly what type of service (Ahmad and Sylvia)
wants as Ahmed has Alzheimer’s disease and Sylvia has a hearing impairment. Due to these
disease Angela must have to provide them appropriate care and quality of services so that
they feels motivated (Bergeron, 2001).

 Respecting diversity: Management people of care home show respect for all its
patients as well as service providers as they all belong from different culture and
background. Privacy: Another most essential task to provide better care for their patients is to keep
full privacy of all the information regarding their patients.
 Independence: It is quite essential to provide full freedom for treatment to their
patients and do not bound them for any type of treatment. Ahmad and Sylvia wants
care home services and they would rather like to stay at home and take care of such
things at home only (Price, 2006). Angela communicated the Ahmed’s support plan and
recommend that Ahmed be moved to a care home and due to this Sylvia feels that she can no
longer trust Angela. She wants to take such independent decisions which are not at all
possible in her case.
1.2 Procedures for protecting clients from harm
There are some or the other ways through which clients of the Angela can be easily
protected from any type of harm. These type of procedures can be define as clean
environment, protection of medicine as well as various other related activities. As per the
given case scenario, Ahmad and Sylvia both are suffering from different disease. In this,
Ahmed has Alzheimer’s disease (Seddon and et.al, 2013). It is a degenerative form of
dementia in which a person is not able to identify the difference between day and night as
well. In order to give him appropriate care a best care plan is amended for Ahmed so that he
can shift to care home. In addition to this, a person can be protected from any type of harm by
implementing best procedures such as cleaning. Further, all the serious patients those who are
having infectious disease must keep away from normal patients wards so that they do not
spread any type of harm for normal people as well. Ahmed is a patient who wants a proper
care and support so that he feels motivated. Due to this, he must be supported by experienced
carers who can ensure the safety and well being of patients (Protecting patients from
avoidable harm, 2014). Identification of their problems, making appropriate solutions as well
as implementing them are some of the best procedures in which user’s safety can be ensured
from any type of harm.
1.3Analyzing advantages of using person centred approach with users of HSC
With the help of the person centred approach Ahmed and Sylvia of health and social
care services can get better services on the basis of informed choices. With the help of this
approach they can take effective care. There are several users of HSC which must be served
