Personal Care

Personal care is one of the most sensitive parts of support and should reflect the person's choices and dignity. Explore how to offer respectful assistance, seek consent through clear communication and support independence while meeting individual needs in everyday routines.

Consider how privacy, consent and familiarity with the person can affect their experience. Practical examples help staff think about the pace and level of assistance they offer, recognise concerns and communicate changes, with agreed support plans providing a clear basis for consistent care.
