adult social care and the reasons why they are important.
Scenario
You have been appointed as a support worker at the Greenford Training Centre for young adults with learning disabilities. The manager has asked you to review and update some of the information for staff at the centre, which could then be used in staff training sessions.
Task 1
Design a new poster that could be displayed in the staff room, which identifies key values
and principles of adult social care.
Task 2
Produce an information booklet for staff, which could be used to update their knowledge about
the values and principles of adult social care. Your booklet should contain different sections,
which could be used as fact sheets for staff and should:
- outline why adult social care workers need to promote these values at all times
- identify areas where workers’ own values and principles may conflict with those of
adult social care, giving two specific examples.
Task 3
Write a short leaflet, which could be used as part of a training session for new staff or learners in the centre. Your leaflet should focus on working in adult social care and needs to:
- outline why it is important to support and respect diversity and different cultures and values when working in adult social care
- outline the importance of finding out anindividual's history, needs, wishes, likes and dislikes, giving two specific examples of how finding out about an individual promotes
