Every individual has the right to choice. This
means they have the right to select what they
would prefer out of multiple options. In a
health care setting, an individual may choose
what type of treatment they find preferable,
or what activities they would like to do, e.g.
visit a Church or Mosque.
Confidentiality
Every individual has the right to
confidentiality. This means they
have the right for their personal
records to be kept safe and
secure from anyone who could
abuse them. For example, in an
early years setting, all children
will have personal files kept,
containing medical information,
phone numbers and addresses.
If this information was not kept
confidential, a child risks having
this information shared with
anyone.
Consultation
Every individual has the
right to consultation. This
means that they have the
right to be given advice if
needed or to be checked
over. For example, in the
health care setting of a
hospital, every patient has
the right to be examined by
a doctor to see if they need
further treatment.
Equal and Fair
Treatment
Every individual has the right to equal and fair
treatment. This means that each person has the right to
be respected no matter their age, race, sexuality or
religion. For example, in the health care setting of a
residential care home, patients should not be provided
with worse treatment if they are a certian nationality,
and should not be discriminated.
Protection from
Abuse and Harm
Every individual has the right to protection from
abuse and harm. This means that they have the
right to be safeguarded from all types of abuse at
all times. For example, in the early years setting of
a school, children should not be physically abused
or neglected. They also have the right to be
protected from hate and discrimination.
