Choose three (3) of the areas identified (e.g. dignity and self-determination).
For each identified area, provide 1 example of how a support worker would apply this in their work role.
Area Identified Example
1 Standards of living and care An elderly has right to food and water. An example of violation
is not being helped with eating, and the serving is hurried
making others to miss meals. A support worker will intervene
and devote time to help the residents with eating.
2 Liberty and security of the person Older residents are kicked, insulted and slapped. A support
worker should ensure that the residents are not humiliated and
physically abused by examining each individual case and try to
create an awareness of their rights and report extreme cases to
the relevant authority.
3 Dignity and self-determination The older residents are tied to the bed using a belt to limit their
movement. A support worker should work towards ensuring
that the old people have the freedom of movement as far as is
practical. Any cases should be advised appropriately and
preventive measures taken
