  • Unit 7: Meeting Individual Needs
    • Care Planning
      • Care planning cycle: A cycle used by care practitioners to produce and implement individualised care plans that aim to meet the specific needs of an individual.
        • 1) Holistic assessment
          • 2) Planning
            • 3) Implementing the plan
              • 4) Monitoring the plan
                • 5) Review & evaluate the plan given
          • A holistic assessment is an assessment that focuses on the whole person rather than a specific or partial aspect of their functioning.
          • The assessment process changed since the 1990 Community Care Act due to increasing demands on the service (e.g. elderly people).
            • Social services have had to develop criteria which determine who will receive care services and how these will be delivered.
      • Care Planning involves the individuals needs being identified, assessed and addressed.
      • The process of care planning occurs through the service user and the care provider.
      • A care plan is a procedure set up to outline and record a course of care, treatment or therapy between professional workers and service users and their carers.
      • Why use a care planning process?
        • Recognises individuals needs
        • It's likely to target priority needs
        • Increases the consistency and efficiency of care needs

        • Promotes good quality care
      • Weaknessess
        • People might not follow it (compliance)
          • Some people may not understand the legislation e.g. due to language reasons
        • The legislation may not be accurate or correct
        • Its difficult to monitor whether or not the legislation is being enforced
      • Examples of legislation...
        • The Children Act (1989)
          • This is the most important piece of legislation currently affecting the provision of care services for children
          • Paramountcy principle - the child is considered the most important thing in any decisions being made
          • The parents of the children 'in need' should be given the help and support they need to look after their children
          • Children in danger should be kept safe and be protected by effective intervention
          • Children should be consulted about decisions affecting their future and should be kept informed about what happens to them
