Description
Put the individual at the heart of care
Every person receiving care is unique, with their own needs, preferences, and values. Person-centred care ensures that individuals are treated with dignity, respect, and compassion, while being actively involved in decisions about their care and support.
This e-learning course, part of the Care Certificate standards, introduces learners to the principles of working in a person-centred way. It helps care workers understand how to adapt their approach to meet the individual needs of those they support, improving both care outcomes and quality of life.
