These are some of the ways health and social care environments can undermine people’s dignity and rights. This will have a negative effect on them:
- Lack of private space. For example, for confidential discussions or personal care.
- Poor culture of care and attitudes.
- Language differences and barriers.
- Lack of holistic, person centred support.
- Poor prioritisation of individuals’ care and support needs.
- Overcrowded wards and mixed-sex accommodation.
- Inadequate and unsuitable facilities.
- Under-staffing, inadequate staff/individual ratios resulting in mixed skill levels and lack of time to provide individualised care and support.
These are some of the ways of working that will promote people’s dignity and rights. This will affect them positively:
