Summary
Holistically assess individual needs and develop and design care and intervention plans that treat each person as a unique individual, in order to protect, promote and monitor the safety and welfare of service users and carers. Wherever possible, promote service users individual views and wishes in order to support their rights to self-determination, to control their own lives and to make informed choices about the services they receive. Deliver appropriate, open, accurate and straightforward communication to service users and carers, clearly explaining service policies and the professional role and responsibilities of the social work team including any statutory intervention which may prove necessary, in order to establish and maintain the trust and confidence of service users and carers. Challenge and report dangerous, abusive, discriminatory or exploitative behaviour or practice, including potential criminal offences, wherever this may be found, in order to ensure the wellbeing of service users and carers is safeguarded at all times. Follow risk assessment policies and procedures, and access specialist professional advice and guidance as necessary, to ensure that potential and actual risk is identified and managed, particularly in relation to those clients who are assessed as being the most vulnerable to risk of harm by self or others. Maintain the highest standards of personal and professional conduct, adhere to relevant codes of conduct, policies, procedures and legislation and take responsibility formaintaining and improving personal knowledge and skills in order to ensure that the criteria for continuing professional registration are fulfilled and that members of the public and other professionals have confidence in the service.
