2D Recognise and discuss potential ethical issues and dilemmas

Signpost reading ethics, respect, integrity and honesty

Everyone has their own values, beliefs and opinions that they develop during their lifetime about how things should be in the world, how people should act and how important aspects of life are handled, such as money, family, relationships and gender roles. You need to be aware of the values held by the people you care for, their family members and carers, as well as your own values.

You may not agree with other people’s values, ideas and beliefs, but you must be respectful of their rights to have their attitudes. Know what they value and what they consider important in their lives and understand how these can be supported.
