The Care Value Base...

• Respect diversity/culture- as we are living in a multicultural society there is going to be a lot of interaction between different races especially with provided health and social care services. This means that all service providers would have to treat every single patient that they deal with the same until they hit a barrier that may be concerning their culture where they would have to know the culture or the race and offer different ways of treatment for the patient or different alternatives in which the service can be of good use to them. It is also important for the service providers to know the correct way to respect the service user and their decisions even if they personally do not agree with the decision that they are making.
• Promote independence- this is where the service user would constantly aid the service user when needed however encourage them to be more independent and teach them to self-medicate for example if they a patient was a diabetic and had to inject themselves with insulin the doctors could teach them how to do this safely so that they did not have to go to the doctors surgery or the hospital everyday they could do it from the comfort or their home and this would save them of hours of their time because they would have to book an appointment and then go there and wait to be called when it can be done in a few seconds at home.

The Care Value Base...

• Anti-Discrimination: this is making sure that no matter what a person’s race or culture or even age or gender or sexuality they should receive the same care and they should receive the same quality of care.
• Confidentiality- this is where a secret can be shared between the client and the service provider on the basis of trust, and the service provider would have to keep the secret. The service provider can only break this trust and tell the secret to someone of higher authority (manager or even police) if they thought this secret was going to bring harm to themselves or even the patient or anyone else.
• Effective Communication- it is vital to make sure that doctors and nurses and other service providers for example can effectively talk to a service user and they can listen to the service user and be able to understand their needs.

The Care Value Base...

• Dignity and Respect- this is where if a client wishes for privacy then they should be left alone and entitle to this privacy. for example if a client has been asked to have an examination in hospital they will either ask for the curtains to be closed or they can go into an enclosed room where they can be privately examined, respecting their wishes and they can feel dignified.
• Empowerment- this is where the service providers would allow the service user to make certain decisions yet feel empowered by them- by empowered I mean that they have control of their own life and the care that they are receiving, this is important for service users to feel because they would feel more satisfied with the efforts and the work of the service provider they would have feel more dignified and respected by making their own decisions.
• Equality-this means that no matter what the service users gender, race, age, culture, occupation, sexuality they should all receive an equal amount of basic care, this is so patients do not feel inferior or superior to each other and use this feeling to cause conflict and they can all respect what each other have been through and understand the work that the service providers have given so that they can all make a positive recovery.
