INTRODUCTION
Social and health care practices are the sore part of health care organisation which help
the people to get over come from their inappropriate medical condition. That involve the medical
and physical care services along emotional care and support through family and psychiatrist.
This practices have to be done with some code of conduct and strategy discuss below.
Principles of support are implemented in health and social care practice
As per studies there are five principles built on based of support in health and social care
are compassion, dignity, respect, included responsive care and well-being and support (Seidel
and et. al., 2018). These key principles are applied to ABC care home to ensure whether the
service users are cared with sympathy, social justice, safety, honesty, dignity of humans and
worth, and equality. ABC care home are those which takes care of the requirements of needy and
powerless peoples belongs to different religious background and culture. Now-days home care
is facing many difficulties related to care quality, staff errors, insufficient supervision and they
are failing to serve peoples in a adequate manner therefore due to this reason many complaints
are arising from the residents and families which is resulting into poor effectiveness of care and
poor safety. The CQC has reported that ABC care home is not willing to obey 10 necessary
standards which must be obeyed according to the law authorities. All the key principles must be
applied to ABC care home to treat peoples with care and support of equality, sympathy, social
justice, honesty, safety, privacy, and risks should be taken in a responsible manner that do not
affect patients or service users. To work in a social care there is no need of any specific
qualification or experiences , having the right values, behaviour and attitude is really important
to work with peoples who are helpless and need care and support these are the values which are
necessary in health and social care. Values are those views which are applied to aspects of life or
influence how peoples behaves in different situations. Some examples of the values are given
which are needed to work in social care are ;
Respect and dignity
Honesty towards care and support
Commitment to quality care and support
Reflection and learning

Respect and dignity- are those to spend time listening to peoples , having good listening
skills and to know their needs, or welcoming and being friendly with them or honoring them
and let them make their own choices and decisions in which ways they want to be supported, this
is the important section of the values.
Commitment to quality and support- is that when people needs whole attention and
help whenever they need it most and being warm, compassionate ,empathetic ,kind towards the
people is known as commitment to quality and support (Alayón, Säfsten and Johansson, 2017).
Learning and reflection illustrate maintaining honesty towards peoples and also admitting their
own mistakes when they are mistaken.
Working together – states that offering realistic options and choices about the support which is
available for them and must be committed towards their work as a team member and must
support others in the team and other peoples views must be respected as everyone have different
priorities and needs.
Spending time to listening peoples, respecting peoples choices, thinking about any feedback,
supporting other in the team these all are the social care values.
Principles of safeguarding service users
This service understands an adults and their issues, those are at risk of harm whether they are
juvenile or over 18 years who may need care and support because of the mental illness or other
disabilities and who is unable to protect themselves from any exploitation and significant harm.
It might be vulnerable for the service users through poor health and disabilities and they would
surely need a protection from hazards which may create problems to peoples without disabilities,
and this vulnerability may be permanent or temporary or else involve some of their activities.
Safeguarding for the service users is very important because this service keeps its users safe and
protected from any harassment, bullying and abuse (Cocker, Cooper and Holmes, 2020). This
service has safeguarding systems and effective policies and procedures and throughly they
manages their safeguarding concerns readily.
 Empowerment – it states that people who all are encouraged to make their own choices
and decisions and supported at the same time and informed consently.
 Prevention – Its always better to take actions before anything harms.
 Proportionality – The invasive minimal response is suitable to the risk presented.
 Protection - Giving support and mental representation for those who are in need.

 Partnership – Partnership is that which provides local solutions with the help of service
working with their communities because communities has authorities to preventing,
reporting neglect and abuse ,or detecting.
 Accountability – Clarity and accountability in safeguarding practice (Mukhalalati and
Taylor, 2019).
Evaluate the impact of recent government policy, legislation, and standards on practice
As per studies the national policies , legislation, regulations and codes of practice these
are the guidelines which are given by the government law and must be comply and these
guidelines are implemented to help staff and to support client and health care provider to care.
The safeguarding act provides care and support for adults from harm and abuse, safeguarding,
this statement means protecting an adults right to live in safety (Lonbay and Brandon, 2017).
The main motive of health and safety legislation is to help or to protect people at work or even
other peoples which are affected by the work activities, legislation (laws) are meant to be
obeyed , all the peoples in the society must know that which behaviours are acceptable and
which are not. Legislation makes a positive impact on business goals and it increases employees
trust and sense of fairness, and also legislation gives a positive contribution to employee
relationships. The main purpose of code of practice is informing service users and public about
the standards of conduct which they expect from social care workers. Code of practice provides
informations on particular work tasks or else details about the safety that could help to achieve
standards under the work health and safety, it is well served as helping employees, locate
relevant documents and services or resources which are related to ethics within the organisation.
Legislation policies is intended to give safety to all individuals, there are set of rules to comply
so that a person cannot negatively influence on somebody's else life.
Evaluation of the influence of code of practice in professional practices
Code of the practice sates the standards rules for the professional activities performance,
and professional have to work in their job role according to the code of practice. It is the
guidance through which health care professional have to complete their dubiety. Such code of
practice include personal integrity, dedication towards the work and application of the principle
behaviour of health care profession (Taillie and et. al., 2020). Code of practice influence the
professional to being honest with patient and it influence them to be confidential about patient
personal information, they have to king and respectful towards the patient along with this code of

conduct influence then to develop empathy for social care and influence them to be strong and
every difficult situation as they have to manage it positively and provide the best health
improvement service to their patient. Code of conduct is related to the ethics of social and people
care with the hard efforts and legislation implementation. That is the kind of formal statement for
group with the ideal and valuable process of practising. It influence the nursing professionals
action by its standard guideline. It influence them to make decision on right and wrong so they
can make the effective step for the situation management. It help them out to make the right
decision along with this it help them to provide quality care.
Evaluation of person centre care and its role in holistic care
Person centre care process is different from the other normal health care procedures, as it
involve the person own selection for care process and activities along with the involvement of
their family and belongings so that they can help to fulfil the patient needs appropriately with
personal and emotional support (Angelis, Lange and Kanavos, 2018). It aid to provide the
holistic care the individual because it involving the understanding and fulfilment of person
emotional, physical, psychological, spiritual dimension along with medical application of
medical interventions. Professional make the step by step analysis of patient information form its
family information, medical history, personal requirements, choice and preference along with
analysis of individual strength and weakness in order to provide holistic care. This start with the
allocation of personal nurse for care along with this it, includes the development of healthy diet
plan by concerning it with patient so that they can make their own choice for food. Medical
intervention some time have the option related to particular issues and some time it do not have
but for every medical care process and intervention it has to be consider with patient and their
family so patient can make choice on it if any option is present. For other personal health care
intervention that has to be discuss with individual and offered with the choice, such as for the
physical activities patient has to be offer for their own choice. In this care process patient is
provided with all kind of personal, emotional and social care support (King and Alkin, 2019).

social isolation and exclusion in service user and how the professional can help to over some this
Social isolation is defined as the avoiding unusual traffic of people in society. In addition
to this, there are number of people faced and try to resist because they feel like this is an issue
which is created by social behaviours and their pattern which is necessary, as per this isolation is
self centred work which defined creating difference from other. In relation to this, at recent time
various people facing an issue with this, experiencing social isolation for a variety of reason such
as discrimination, lack of education and usually lack of employment (Wilson, 2017). This
situation can caused various negative ideas and opinion in terms with life and career. As per this
some of the social isolation include effect which is:
 Insomnia and tiredness
 Enhance chance of development of depression and other kind of mental illness which
harm the mental state of an person.
 Elevated blood pressure which cause hypertension and hypotension
 Have a capability to enhance the increased rate of dementia in normal people
 Negative feeling including self denial guilt and self loathing which enable the person
activity slow.
 In this it also enable mental tendency to kill or harm himself.
 It also raise an unnecessary thought for suicide.
 This enable an aspect of enhance rate of risk for misusing of substance.
 Physical health implication which is include some of the illness and also implicate
worsening illness which is weight loss or gain.
So, as per this it is well determined that the effect which is created above is only by social
isolation. This is happen by various factor but it create lots of issue in normal people. To avoid
this type of factor interaction with people is an common approach which is usually followed by
number of people. As per the view point of an professional some of the skill are used in such a
way which help to minimize the factor of social isolation. Some are:
