Principles of HSC
Task- 2

INTRODUCTION
This presentation mainly focuses on outlining the procedures that
is used by the HSC setting for protecting their clients and
service users as well as staff from the harm and abusive
activities. Along with this, the presentation will also analyze
the benefit of using person centered approaches.

1.2 Procedure that would protect clients, co-
workers as well as patients
Recently I came across an incident of abuse of an
elderly person. A 70 year old women, Mrs. Sean was
being emotionally and physically abused by her son.
Her son was abusing her so that he could get money
from her. I came to know about this when I happened
to go to that lady’s room and her son had come to
meet her.

The steps include-
 Measuring the level of risk
 Documentation of incident
 Reporting to senior authority
 Taking action

1.3 Person centered approach
 Person centered approach is mainly concerned with
supporting and empowering the service users so that they
can easily select the required health care service.
 With the help of this approach clients as well as patients are
encouraged to take effective decisions by their own so that
they can easily maintain their privacy and dignity of them.

preferences and health need of patients with the help of this I
