Data on their rights and duties.
Assist consumers in determining their own preferences, rights, needs, decisions and
obligations.
You should take the time to outline the steps you will take to provide each aspect of support

by - step data ensures that the individual knows what to expect and what is expected of them
and their career.

ii. How you developed and maintained trust with the client
I can develop and maintain the trust with the clients by doing the listed things:
Respect their culture: Our culture has in a general sense, lost some of the courtesy and
reverence shown to each other by previous generations. Increasing your own
knowledge of your clients' time and needs demonstrates to them that you value them.
Listen to Stress Points and Ease Them: If you listen carefully to the underlying root
cause of what is going on with your client, you can make things a little easier for your
clients. This is one way to express your dedication to helping them improve their
wellbeing and achieve their objectives.
Developing a successful relationship: Contact with your customers must be a priority in
a prompt, productive and respectful manner, since this is a primary way of expressing
your own trustworthiness. Maintaining a positive attitude, being open and frank, and
exuding trust during your interactions helps your customers create faith in their
relationship with you.
Maintaining their privacy and confidentiality: Good and sustainable relationships are
based on trust that the expert is you. Their privacy and confidentiality must be protected
and kept safe.
iii. What methods you used to show respect to all involved throughout the
process
ii. How you involved the client in discussions regarding their support
Involving clients to the meeting: They should be involved to the meeting for decision
making. An integrated client decision-making process includes evaluating and being
motivated by the needs of the customer, while also ensuring that the customer has
comprehensive and detailed details about all available approaches, including the
feasibility of the approach, possible side effects and how customers can handle them.
iii. Did the plan require reviewing? If so; why, who did you discuss it with and
how did that discussion support the client’s self-determination?
Yes the plan require reviewing when the choices and preferences changes of client changes or
when there is change in the client's health, behaviors, etc. Moreover there might be the
condition where the clients’ needs changes or w0hen current needs of clients are not met.
We can discuss this with the manager, supervisor or directly with the client.
d. All information regarding the reporting and documentation you completed as part
of your support
All the information regarding the reporting and documentation you completed as part of your
support should be:
Refer to the specialist:
Update them to the individual care plan:
2. How would you work with a person to identify actions and activities that support their
needs in relation to the individualised plan?
To identify actions and activities that support their needs in relation to the individualized plan
are:
Requires significant reporting and documentation.
Accurate and up-to-date record keeping.
Ensure actions are documented.
Increases accountability.
Meets duty of care requirements.
The emphasis of an individualized plan is on goals and activities that foster the clients
participation and independence in a meaningful way.
3. What would you do to ensure you provided support to a person according to the duty of
care and dignity of risk requirements?
According to the given question the duty of care is the legal responsibility which was set up to
ensure people are not harmed by the services an organisation and its staff provides. The main
misconception is that services have a duty of care to protect the person from themselves and
their own choices, but this is not necessarily true. An oversupply can smother people
emotionally, squeeze the life out of their hopes and expectations, and strip them of their
dignity. Overprotection can keep people from becoming all they could become. Many of our
best achievements came the hard way: We took risks, fell flat, and suffered, picked ourselves
up, and tried again. Sometimes we made it and sometimes we did not. Even so, we were given
the chance to try. Persons with special needs need these chances, too. Of course, we are
talking about prudent risks. People should not be expected to blindly face challenges that,
without a doubt, will explode in their faces. Knowing which chances are prudent and which are
not – this is a new skill that needs to be acquired. On the other hand, a risk is really only when
it is not known beforehand whether a person can succeed. Duty of care means we have a duty
to step in on situations if there is a risk of:
death (including suicide)
permanent and serious disability
lack of capacity – and this is deemed by a legal process (e.g., QCAT)
if a person is subject to an IPO or ITO – Court directed treatment orders

The dignity to make our own choices and so do other people. This means everyone can take
certain risks, to learn from mistakes and to grow and choose how they want to live their life.
If, for example – we have the dignity of risk to smoke cigarettes if we choose, then those we
support also have the dignity of risk to make that choice.
4. What assistance can you provide to ensure a person maintains a clean, comfortable,
safe and healthy environment?
Research strongly indicates that increased performance benefits from diverse workplaces that
deliver non-discriminatory hiring practices and inclusive policies for human resource
management. Research strongly suggests that improved performance benefits from different
workplaces that have non-discriminatory recruiting practices and inclusive human resource
management policies. Commitment and understanding are a crucial component to the success
of developing a secure and stable work atmosphere. Across the company, this can be
illustrated by:
1. Engagement of senior managers and other senior workers by mission statements and
policies to build a safe working atmosphere.
2. Senior managers and other senior workers are committed to creating a safe working
atmosphere through mission statements and policies.
3. Make all workers aware of your administrative contribution to a fair and secure working
atmosphere.
4. Wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment.
5. Carry out cleaning activities consistent with any agreed specifications.
6. Being non-judgemental and respecting their perspectives and religion.
To support a person’s self-determination we should allow them to make their own decisions.
The more people learn to build and reinforce self-determination skills, the more likely they are
to make better choices in life and with their peers. Opportunities to exercise abilities that foster
self-determination often contribute to greater autonomy and self-advocacy. A significant way to
promote individual growth and development is to allow this power of choice. They always want
to be treated as a priority so their ideas and needs must be treated as a priority. Not only while
making up a choices but also while making a decision they should be asked.
The emotions are infectious. Feelings like terror, anxiety and negativity, even though you don't
put them into writing, can be sensed by those around you. In the wrong hands, they can grow
like wildfire. Yet feelings like hope, optimism and positivity are just as catchy and infectious
and make it easier for everyone involved to accept change. So, they must be lead with
positivity.
8. What would you have to do to comply with your organisations reporting requirements?
Every organizations has their own way of reporting guidelines however to comply with your
organizations,
care plan
progress note
individual plan
personal documents
10. What should you do if you identify a client whose needs have not been met?
Workers should handle in a holistic way the needs of consumers and their families. This
implies that the evaluation focuses on the entire individual, including physical, emotional,
moral, mental, social and environmental well-being.
The Social & Spiritual Profile gathers the personal as well as sensitive details of a client that
can or may not be exchanged by the facility in the future and should therefore have safe
storage. It may take more than one meeting with customers to collect details.
Some of the ways in which the needs are understood include:
Maintaining documentation is a very critical part of ensuring that Aged Care organizations
comply with and function according to best-practice guidelines in compliance with the
appropriate clinical & legislative requirements. An efficient quality control system ensures that
documentation is up-to-date and that staff members use it efficiently.
Identify what papers are needed: In order to satisfy legislative requirements and
produce best practice performance, organizations need to have clear knowledge of
what documents are required. Typical documents required by elderly care organizations
are policies outlining organizational governance, human resources, management,
occupational health & safety and the operating climate, plus clinical procedures.
Determine who is accountable for collecting data: One person should be accountable
for identifying what the company needs, what strategies are available and be able to
provide a set of solutions outlining how to fulfil the requirements to the management.
Any Aged Care agency, such as a Quality Manager or Supervisor, should also have a
person responsible for overseeing the process.
Ensure compliance with all paperwork: Documentation needs to comply with legal
provisions and should meet the standards of best practice. The compliance process is
an essential undertaking, particularly if it begins without an existing on-going review
system for document management.
Establish a method of document control: It is vital that everyone in the organization uses
the right versions of documents. For maintaining an efficient quality management
system, strict use of version control on electronic documents and physical change over
printed documents in a rapid but structured manner are important.

CHCCCS015 Provide individualised support
Set deadlines for analysis: It is recommended that your company provide a team of
individuals responsible for reviewing documents on a scheduled basis, appropriate to
their clinical practice scope. The required expertise of this team must be relevant to the
form of documentation in question. In particular, this relates to the review team and the
corporate policy review team of the clinical procedures and that they function through a
specified review process chaired by the Quality Manager.
13. What are two factors that affect people using your support services?
Cultural background: It's a reverence that we treat everyone with dignity and as a person, and
that's what cultural protection is about for us. The Cultural background matters for everyone.
There are different views, opinions, beliefs, norms, customs, values, patterns, and traditions
among culturally diverse personnel. We should avoid imposing values on others that may
conflict or be inconsistent with other cultures.
14. What practices have you used to support skill maintenance and development?
The practices I used to support skill maintenance and development are included below:
Work with a disabled individual to develop learning and maintenance skills plans in a
way that motivates and empowers and shows respect for the person
Inform colleagues and related people-centred development / maintenance strategies of
skills and provide feedback to ensure that they are applied consistently.
Access and use equipment and tools to promote the learning process as appropriate.
Maintain records to show accomplishments in the creation or maintenance plan of
person-centred skills and help track and review.
