10. Demonstrate the importance of ensuring individuals are treated with dignity and respect


Demonstrate the importance of ensuring individuals are treated with dignity and respect when providing health and care services.

Supporting dignity and respect is not an additional task for anyone working in health and social care because it should be a natural part of your role. It is important to ensure that individuals feel valued and that their wellbeing is at the centre of the care and support you provide.

This can be achieved by…

Making a person feel in control of their care and support
Providing them with information to make informed choices
Working in partnership, supporting their rights
Including them in communications and discussions about their care
Helping them to deal with fears and anxieties
Being positive and compassionate to their needs and wishes
Making sure there are options to communicate
Respecting their privacy and confidentiality
