Assessment criteria: 4.3 Demonstrate how active participation can address the holistic needs of an individual
Active participation can address the holistic needs of an individual by:
- Encouraging physical exercise and physical health
- Encouraging social activities to prevent social isolation and potential mental health conditions
- Supporting an individual to make their own choices and promote independence
- Demonstrating that an individual’s views are respected and valued
By utilising active participation, care workers can build a comprehensive picture of an individual and all the unique needs, wishes and preferences. It also helps to develop a strong bond between caregivers and care receivers that is built on trust.
