Within this unit learners will look at the role of person-centred care in interactions with service users. They will also consider other models of care delivery and their strengths and weaknesses in delivering care to meet the needs of different populations of service users. Delivering high quality care is not always easy and learners will examine the potential ethical issues that could arise and how these could be dealt with. Learners will develop an understanding of the difficulties of balancing individual autonomy and minimising potential risk to vulnerable service users. Learners will consider relevant health and social care legislation that impacts on both those delivering care and individuals receiving care. The role of government departments and other agencies in producing legislation and guidance and how this affects local policies, procedures and care delivery will be covered. |

Guidelines for completion and Submission
Plagiarism and Collusion
In submitting the assignment Learner’s must complete a statement of authenticity confirming that the work submitted for all tasks is their own. The statement should also include the word count. UKPDA recommends the following to check plagiarism/similarity. https://www.grammarly.com/plagiarism-checker
https://www.scanmyessay.com
Learners are required to attach the similarity report in submission slot or email to tutor.
Plagiarism and collusion are treated very seriously. Plagiarism involves presenting work, excerpts, ideas or passages of another author without appropriate referencing and attribution.
Collusion occurs when two or more learners submit work which is so alike in ideas, content, wording and/or structure that the similarity goes beyond what might have been mere coincidence
Referencing
A professional approach to work is expected from all learners. Learners must therefore identify and acknowledge ALL sources/methodologies/applications used.
The learner must use Harvard Referencing system to achieve this. Marks are not awarded for the use of English; however, the learner must express ideas clearly and ensure that appropriate terminology is used to convey accuracy in meaning.
Appendices
You may include appendices to support your work, however appendices must only contain additional supporting information, and must be clearly referenced in your assignment.
You may also include tables, graphs, diagrams, Gantt chart and flowcharts that support the main report should be incorporated into the end of the assignment report that is submitted.
Any published secondary information such as annual reports and company literature, should be referenced in the main text of the assignment, in accordance of Harvard Style Referencing, and referenced at the end of the assignment.
Word Count Policy
The recommended word count for assignment is 2500 words. Learners must comply with the required word count, within a margin of ±10%. These rules exclude the index, headings, tables, images, footnotes, appendices and information contained within references and bibliographies. When an assessment task requires learners to produce presentation slides with supporting notes, the word count applies to the supporting notes only.

Comparison and Contrast of Person-Centred Care with Task-Oriented Care
In the realm of health and social care, different models of care delivery have been developed to meet the varying needs of individuals. Among these, person-centred care and task-oriented care are two significant approaches that offer distinct perspectives on care delivery. Understanding the differences between these models is crucial for professionals working in health and social care settings.
Person-Centred Care
Person-centred care is a holistic approach that places the individual at the core of the care process. This model emphasises the importance of tailoring care to the unique needs, preferences, and values of each person. It recognises the individual as an active participant in their own care, encouraging collaboration between the person receiving care, their family, and healthcare professionals. The focus is not merely on treating the illness or condition but on enhancing the overall well-being and quality of life of the individual.
Key elements of person-centred care include:
- Respect for the individual: Care is designed around the person`s wishes and values.
- Collaboration and communication: Decisions are made in partnership with the individual and, where appropriate, their family.
- Holistic approach: The care plan considers the person`s emotional, social, and psychological needs alongside their physical health.
- Empowerment: The individual is encouraged to take an active role in their care, promoting independence and self-determination.
Task-Oriented Care
In contrast, task-oriented care, also known as task-based or routine-based care, focuses on the completion of specific tasks or procedures. This model is more structured and often follows a standardised set of practices designed to ensure that all necessary care activities are completed efficiently
