Supporting People and Diversity ZAC101
Introduction
This unit will explore diversity in the context of individuals, their unique lives, needs and networks of support. You will use self-awareness to reflect upon your own values, beliefs and self-care needs, and that of others, in order to broaden your understanding of ‘the individual’ and the positive, respectful and empowering relationships that underpin quality personalised support. In this unit, you will explore diversity by considering a range of lived experiences and cultural contexts. You will be introduced to the ethical principles of human rights, equity, justice, choice and control, and examine ways in which the needs, goals and preferences of each person can be reflected in the planning and delivery of meaningful, personalised support.
