Question 1:
Provide a general summary of your role as a carer.
Explain how an individualised care plan will assist you in providing the
support needs of an individual without overstepping your role
boundaries.

It is my responsibility as a caretaker to support those who require help with daily living
activities. In order to analyse their needs and create a personalised care plan that satisfies
their unique requirements, I will work closely with the person. This care plan will explain the
assistance offered, allowing me to render the required assistance and support without going
beyond the bounds of my duty. I can modify the care plan to meet the individual`s unique
demands by taking into account their wants, preferences, and lifestyle. This will make it
possible for me to offer the finest service in a respectful and safe manner.

Question 2:
Who is involved in the writing of an individualised care plan?
What input is sought from the individual in care?
Why is it important that you confirm the content of the care plan with
the individual, family or health professionals/advisers?

Depending on the individual's unique needs and healthcare environment, a team of

professionals, including a nurse, social worker, and doctor, often creates a personalized care
plan. Each step of the process requires the involvement of the care recipient as they should
be the primary decision maker in the care plan. This may involve expressing preferences or
ideas about the specific care they receive, the goals that should be covered, and the types of
interventions and treatments they are open to. It is important to confirm the content of the
care plan with client or other needed personal to guarantee that the plan satisfies all of the
individual's requirements and takes into account any outside factors that might have an
impact on the plan. Confirmation also enables the plan to be changed if necessary, ensuring
the greatest care is provided for the client.
