Health and Social Care Standards: Dignity and respect
Dignity and respect is a key principle in the Health and Social Care Standards.
When I am treated with dignity and respect:
- my human rights are respected and promoted
- I am respected and treated with dignity as an individual
- I am treated fairly and do not experience discrimination
- my privacy is respected.
This is one of six badges that contribute towards the Health and Social Care Standards: Awareness badge.
To achieve this Open Badge you should:
- watch the instruction video tutorial if you have not already done so
- choose any three of the headline standards from the Health and Social Care Standards and, for each of these, tell us what you will do to help achieve the statements listed under Dignity and respect (150 words minimum)
- discuss your choices with your manager/supervisor/colleagues and tell us something about this discussion (50 words minimum)
We will decline applications that do not provide enough evidence showing how you have met these criteria.
