The care value base is a set
guidelines that every care
practitioner has to follow to
provide effective services to
their clients.
All care workers should follow the
principles of care when working
with individuals, to make sure they
all receive the correct care they
need.
For example, In domiciliary care it is important
that HCP maintain confidentiality by ensuring
that patients notes are kept private and are not
left in public places e.g. on the bus when caring
the notes to and from places
Another example is, in nursing, it is important to
promote anti-discriminatory practice. This allows
everyone and equal opportunity to treatment and
access to services regardless of their ethnicity,
age, gender, religion or sexual orientation.
