INTRODUCTION
The principles of care are described as human rights definition. The principles of care
explain the ways suppliers of health, social care and child care must act in their care for persons.
A social worker should handle an individual in the manner they would like to be handled and
should operate in the person's personal wishes. Care staff gets to meet and show compassion for
their customers. Their mission is to enhance their customer's standard of living. Option, integrity,
freedom, relationship, confidentiality, fairness, rights, protection, equal opportunity, and security
are the values of treatment (Autilio, C. and Pérez-Gil, 2019).
ASSIGNMENT 1
(a) Using theory and knowledge, provide an outline of the importance of principles of care
There are discussed different types of principle with importance in health and care:
Anti discrimination: Discrimination is when equality of care is treated very differently or not
granted to a person. Care workers have to ensure that, regardless of their own behavior, they do
not make unjust decisions about with an person. As a result of their gender , ethnicity, faith, age
or capacity, persons may be discriminatory towards. It may take multiple shapes, including
verbal, psychological or physical violence.
Confidentiality: Confidentiality, which is an integral characteristic of effective care practice,
ensures trust between both the patient and the professional. Even so, when the practitioner / care
worker needs to negotiate their situations with their boss and must inform them whatever their
patient has said, there is no total privacy. In trial, they may need to disclose what they learn
about a person. Unless the person is trying to damage oneself or others or if they are trying to
commit an offence, a health, social care or early support worker will have to talk directly. Such
data should be forwarded on to the individual in charge of the care environment. In prepared to
comply with such circumstances, this individual will be educated (Delaney, 2018)
. Confidentiality is violated if, when learning about the case, a healthcare professional speaks
about either a patient or calls them.

Dignity: Dignity recognizes the individuality of a citizen and their selfish reasons. The freedom
to go it alone, untouched and protected from interference or public scrutiny is to be protected in
private. Dignity is about giving privacy to a person and ensuring that the circumstance is not
humiliating. A professional must assist people in preserving their self-respect and protecting
privacy.
Choice: Care professionals must ensure that people have the chance to make rational decisions.
In order to make decisions about such an option, adequate details must be given to the client, e.g.
a client requires knowing what that means, how it can benefit as well as any health consequences
to be given treatment (Dhoke and et.al, 2019).
Importance of principle of care
 Such data should be passed on to the individual in charge of the care environment. In
order to deal with such situations, this individual will be educated. Confidentiality is
violated if, when learning about the case, a care worker chats about a client or names
them.
 It is important that people have the best treatment to fulfil their needs, desires and
interests in health and social care. To ensuring that requirements are satisfied, it is
essential that precautions have been taken. This is where person-centered strategies
implement, putting the people at the core of each and every choice and interaction taken.
 Dignity in care work concentrates with every individual person worth as just a person. It
implies acknowledging the opinions, decision - making process of others, not making
judgments on how individuals would like to be handled and working with consideration
and empathy (Heidt and et.al, 2019).
 The importance of medical care is that it indicates that we, as physicians, handle our
person with respect and consideration, as individuals who are ready and willing to engage
in choices taken regarding them.
 In health and social care, care standards are very relevant and continue to improve that
everybody is eligible to excellent service. These principles encourage any care provider
to obey the guidelines as well as provide their clients with successful services. A
successful career must make sure that the patient or healthcare professionals in all aspects
of their very own care are treated decently and are also supported with the all the services

they want as a regular person needs. Those are the seven standards that all carers ought to
obey in health and social care. The first idea is to encourage the practise of anti-
discrimination by encouraging clients to use their own views and values.
(b) ‘Give an overview of how the principles of care affect the rights of vulnerable people
People have the right to be distinct and free from prejudice. They have the right to
privacy, choice, integrity, strong leadership and protection. A practitioner wants to help a person
preserve their citizen status and allow the client to live as normal a situation as possible while
conflicting with the freedoms of speech of many other citizens. One of the main tasks of the Care
Principle is the security of vulnerable persons because they need to be subject to local
administrative and multispectral rules and procedures (Jones and et.al, 2018). In ability to
succeed enforce protection methods, care professionals need to collaborate with peers from own
and other agencies, and also supporters and distributors, close relatives and caregivers when
making protecting judgments. The principles of care affect on the vulnerable people in positive
manner and provide rights to keep their information confidential and facility of good treatment.
These principles are helping of people and get same treatment as compare of other people.
The values of health care services help care professionals effectively delegate patients ' medical
procedures, when to safeguard their confidentiality, and how to preserve and make an informed
choice for healthcare professionals.
 Individuals are given the ability to select their own health care choices.
 Collect necessary information from care users to help make educated decisions more
about physician's best possible treatment.
 Interacting with compassion in order to gain the interest of service users and to satisfy the
physician's needs and demands.
 Inserting new technologies by workers in health and social care environments.
 Keeping up with current with the new care and treatment service technologies, legislation
and regulations.
 The production of suitable skills and expertise would meet the needs of users of the
service (Komorowski and et.al, 2018).
 Risk assessments are routinely performed to identify associated consequences and to
minimize possible risks.

(c) Examine the issues of care and control in health and social care, with use of examples
discussed in class
In the health and social care, face many issues in regard of the care and control. Proper
management includes managing transition in health and social care systems. Development is the
very structure of health and social care in several respects. Response to fluctuations in human
livelihoods that contribute for the need for care and support services, convenient schedule is
often needed immediately.
 Costs and openness. Implementation of plans and practices to counter the rise in medical
and medication costs and the effect on accessibility and delivery of treatment.
 Experience with consumers. Recognizing, resolving, and ensuring that all customer
experiences and results are easy, convenient, timely, seamless, and coherent so that health
blends seamlessly into the "life flow" of the everyday routines of each and every
consumer, family and community (Liu and et.al, 2019).
 Holistic individual wellbeing. To recognize, resolve and enhance the general medical,
lifestyle / behavioral, economic, social, economical, academic, geographical and
ecological fellow human-being of the member / patient for a zero friction and related
health care.
 Accessible treatment points. Wearable technology, electronic devices, retail clinics,
home-based treatment, segments and sub-hospitals, tele-health, mHealth; and recognition
of that and other programmers that bring treatment closer to home and the workplace.
 Policy on healthcare. Dealing with the abolition / replacement / rehabilitation of existing
health policy, legislation, political instability / hostility and the absence of a regulatory
mechanism that is controlled. Medicare-for-All, single payer, buy-in for Medicare /
private insurance, federal funding, unexpected payment, databases for providers,
insurance plans for organizations, and short-term policies , standards for FHIR, and other
regulations (Prince and Lovesum, 2020).
Example: Healthcare providers are looking to find out how to achieve this preparation, and
every organisation is impacted, the study said. Of the company survey respondents on the topic
by the PwC Health research center, 45 percent state the skills of their employees are a major
obstacle to organizational change. Fifty-five percent of public insurance managers state that

being specialized in systems engineering and business intelligence is very essential for young
recruits, second only to customer relations.
(d) Consider the importance of legislation in the protection of vulnerable people in health and
social care
In the health and social care system, failure to comply with the Health and Safety Act
1974 can lead to problems with the Health and Safety Management (HSE). Staff members have
to be skilled in handling their own risk and tracking any actions that could present a risk in their
workspace. Likewise, care staff has to be mindful of the 2010 Equality Act, which encompasses
the nine security features. In order to shield oneself and their company from undue legal
expenses, care workers must be aware of both overt and discriminatory behavior (Rong and et.al,
2019). In fact, to conform to the values of equity and inclusion, network operators need to build
an equitable working atmosphere for service organizations and developers. As network operators
can risk their license for failure to comply, the effects of not complying with the laws and
regulations of the government may be serious. Employees who do not comply with the standards
of conduct set by their company often risk losing
Care act 2014
By specifying the legal duties of shielding vulnerable adults, this Act applies to preserving
vulnerable adults. It specifies that local governments have the ultimate responsibility and must
collaborate with health and care agencies in collaboration. Instead of basic security and safety,
the Act stresses the general health-being of vulnerable adults (Sodhro, Pirbhulal and Sangaiah,
2018).
The Act 2006 Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups
This legislation seeks to ensure that unsuitable persons do not end up interacting with vulnerable
adults. Those with a background record of crime and abuse are put on a list that is reviewed
while someone is applying for a position with vulnerable adults. The process of screening and
prohibiting determines the piece of job that needs a list search, with offices controlled and
managed. It helps to discourage potential abuses from being acted out by anyone who is accused
of violent crimes.

These Acts are important for the protection of the vulnerable people in the framework of
health and social care. With the help of these legislation provide rights and facilities of all the
Vulnerable people in order to get effective facilities in health and social care. Legislation is
important in developing a basis for legislative intervention in areas which are either completely
new or not recognized by case law to be government intervention within the jurisdiction
(Trenfield and et.al, 2018).
ASSIGNMENT 2
1. Identifying something from principal of care that influence on health and care approach
Principle of care impact on the health and care approach in positive way. These principle
follow all the rules and regulations of health care sector and provide rights to people fore their
treatment. I have learned various things from the principle of care that these principles are
providing equality to all patents and have right to same treatment. These principles are set by the
UK government for all type of people and use by them for their treatment. Once a time I visited
in a hospital for treatment of my mother but doctor was giving preference to their relatives. That
time I was using principle of care and talk with other people who were waiting in line. We all
were taking action as per the principle and talk with senior about the treatment (Xu and et.al,
2018).
As a result senior doctor take action against of that doctor and provide us better
treatment. Before this situation I feel that all doctors are caring and give preference to all patients
but after this behave of doctor feel very bad. I felt that other people also face same this situation
so I have decided to provide acknowledgement about principle of care and provide guidance how
to use it for his right. After this situation I take new decision for all people who were facing this
situation and some people face complex situation. Along with, understanding the values of other
cultures and seeking permission that do not prejudice cultural barriers is essential. At certain
times of the day, many people have to pray, many consume certain foods, e.g. vegans do not eat
the meat, some do not eat fatty things, e.g. Jews eat no pork. Some societies have rules on how
men and women can talk, e.g. female people will need to be handled by female professionals.
Care staff needs to be receptive to and respond accordingly to distinct cultural beliefs. The

negative point sees in this situation that people were not aware about these principles and have
no idea how these principles are helping in their treatment.
2. How can such experience influence personal development and insight
When a person has experience of social care so it is using for personal development and
insight in proper manner. With the help of own experience take right decision. Am working as
nurse in a hospital and have more experience of eyes treatment. After some time I take decision
to get growth in this field and continue my study. Due to have experience passed out my all
exams and become good doctor as eye specialist. The experience work for me in positive manner
and take right decision at right time to explore my skills and become confident for my career (Yu
and et.al, 2018).
CONCLUSION
As per the above report has been concluded that Social care helps the patient and
assistance for persons who need it due to age, sickness, impairment, or other conditions. It varies
from assistance with basic everyday operations, such as dining and cleaning, to involvement in
all facets of life, including such employment or socialization. Social care may be given in
residential gardens to encourage functional independence or help with rehabilitation after illness
and to provide a secure place for residents to survive in assisted housing, retirement or care
facilities if residential care is no longer possible.
