R032 Exam unit: Topic 1: The rights of service users in health and social care settings and topic 2: Person centred values
infoWhy this? Understanding service users’ rights establishes that care must protect dignity, privacy, choice, equality, and individual needs. These rights underpin ethical health and social care practice and guide how professionals make decisions and interact with those they support. Person-centred values show how care can be tailored to each individual’s needs, wishes, preferences, and circumstances.
scheduleWhy now? This topic begins the study of care principles because service users’ rights provide the foundation for all subsequent care practice. Understanding what care must protect enables us to recognise how person-centred values, communication, and professional responsibilities uphold those rights. It prepares us to consider how effective communication enables professionals to understand individuals and put person-centred values into practice
