All individuals receiving care should have the opportunity to contribute to their planning and you should encourage this as much as possible to ensure that you are working in a person-centred way. Similarly, an individual’s representatives will have specialist knowledge of them and should also be encouraged to collaborate.

You may need to explain the importance of keeping accurate records so that you are able to provide the best possible care that is in line with the individual’s needs, wishes and preferences.
