What is Active Care Participation?
The course will start by looking at the way standards are set, monitored and regulated for social care organisations and workers throughout the UK. They are encouraged to take a more active role in their own care and support rather than being a passive recipient.
Allowing the service user to participate actively in the planning and implementation of their own care and support is one approach to do so. They should be able to express their preferences and make decisions about how and when their care is given, with any communication barriers removed.
There will be instances when this is not possible, and other stakeholders, such as family and health care providers, will be involved.
What Are the Advantages of Active Involvement?
Active participation has both physical and mental benefits for the service user, including:
- Participating in daily jobs and activities can aid in the maintenance and improvement of mobility.
- Being active and responsible might help you become more aware of your surroundings and feel better about yourself.
- Allowing for greater options for personal growth through education or job.
- Increased self-confidence and independence can reduce the risk of being abused or exploited by others.
- They may have a lower risk of depression or anxiety.
This style of care can also help the caregiver. They could have to deal with:
- A stronger sense of job fulfilment.
- They and the individual have better communication and relationships.
- A broader position that includes assisting or participating in a variety of activities, as well as more engaging discussion.
