Privacy and Dignity

We strive to preserve Privacy, Dignity and Respect for our clients by ensuring that all our staff, no matter what their role, are familiar with the meaning of 'Dignity'. Each staff member is required to complete the training to become 'Dignity Champions' for our organisation.

 

We strive to retain as much privacy as possible for our Clients in the following ways:

​

• Giving help to personal situations as discreetly as possible

​

• Guaranteeing clients privacy when using the telephone, opening and reading post, and communicating with friends, relatives and advisors

​

• Ensuring the confidentiality of information that we hold about our clients

​

Independence and Choice

All clients are encouraged to maintain as much independence and individuality as possible by:

​

• Encouraging clients to contribute to their own care and support

 

• Providing as tactfully as possible, human or technical assistance when it is needed

 

• Maximising our Clients' abilities for self-care by encouraging independent interaction with others and daily living tasks

 

• Helping clients take reasonable and fully assessed risks

 

• Promoting opportunities for clients to establish and retain contacts beyond their home

 

• Encouraging choice in their selection of organisations who support them

 

• To manage our service so far as possible to the client's preferences as regards to the staff that support them

 

• Avoiding wherever possible treating clients as a homogeneous group
