Social Care Theory for Practice DH3K 34
In this essay I will firstly explain three of my own values, where my values came from and how they relate to social care values and my service user groups values. I will reflect on any similarities and tensions that may exist between them.
Outcome 1 Question 1
The first value I hold is Safety, from the day we are born we put our lives into our parents arms they feed us nurture us put us down to sleep we safe in making judgement about feeding us the correct amount, keeping us safe. We then start to build up the confidence to trust in ourselves that we make the right decision to stick in at school to get an education.
