Please Note: It is very important to note that each client has a person-centred care plan.

This is a live document and will need to be kept updated to ensure that the care and support provided is appropriate and MUST be followed stringently.

Work with Empathy, Honesty and Integrity

Safeguarding: Protect the client from any significant harm.

In addition to physical and medical assistance, you will also need to show care for the client by interacting with them and listening to them in a friendly way. Be respectful, empathetic and communicative with the client.
