PWCS 26: understand the person-centred approach in adult social care settings. Assessment 8 unit 7 Samira Osman 1.1. Define Person-centered values. Person-centred values mean as we are care workers we must treat our patient's individually right and equal way. By respecting their needs, differences allowing them to make their own choices and value them as an individual. also as we are care workers we have to work in a person-centred way. 1.2.

If they feel they are not listened to, they will lose the communication between them, the staff also the care workers and not sharing what they are interested in their carer. They will even lose their independence and the skills they already know if we don't support them and protect them. As we care workers, we have to ensure that we promote person-centred values in ways which allow people who we caring for to choose their own and give time such as if they doing things slowly like when they eating or when they doing something. 2.1. Describe how to find out the history, preferences, wishes and needs of an individual. To be honest working in person-centred way, we have to recognize that all human beings are individuals also their wishes and needs should be at that centre of help.
