Why is this course important?

The safeguarding and wellbeing of individuals are very important. As far as possible, you should get to know each individual; their background and ideas, wishes, likes and dislikes. You should always provide personalised care and support that puts an individual at the centre of their care. You should enable them to be as independent as possible and respect their privacy and dignity. Working in this way reduces the risk of an individual being treated in a way that is degrading or harmful.

Course aims and objectives

Part of providing good care and support involves building trust and confidence and having the best interests of individuals in mind.

Personal information includes things like their health conditions, sexual orientation, personal history or social circumstances.

Individuals may tell you other private information that they trust you to keep to yourself. Unless it is necessary to pass this on for health and social care reasons you should keep this confidential. That will have the added benefit of it helping to build trust.
