Why is this online Dignity, Privacy and Respect training course?

Dignity in care work focuses on the value of every person as an individual. It means respecting other’s views, choices and decisions, not making assumptions about how people want to be treated and working with care and compassion.

What does dignity mean in health and social care practice?

Dignity in social care ensures individuals who receive care and support can make choices about the care they receive. This includes decisions about everyday care needs, such as:

  • Personal hygiene,
  • Meal and drink choices,
  • Communication,
  • Social interaction,
  • Pain management, and
  • Moving and assistance.

Care Quality Commission (CQC) guidance on dignity and respect

Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014: Regulation 10 – This regulation intends to make sure that people using the service are treated with respect and dignity at all times while they are receiving care and treatment. To meet this regulation, providers must make sure that they provide care and treatment in a way that ensures people’s dignity and treats them with respect at all times. This includes making sure that people have privacy when they need and want it, treating them as equals and providing any support they might need to be autonomous, independent and involved in their local community.

What is privacy in health and social care?

Respect people’s right to privacy’ is the sixth point of the dignity challenge. As with dignity, privacy is open to interpretation and means different things to different people. To respect people’s privacy, health and social care services must be personalised as much as possible.

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
