Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B. A legal and professional obligation to act in the best interests of individuals and avoid causing them harm
Duty of care is a legal and professional obligation on every care worker to act in the best interests of individuals, keep them safe from harm and not act (or fail to act) in a way that results in harm.

  • C.  Family members being actively involved in all care decisions
  • D.  Care staff actively completing every task on behalf of the individual
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B. A working relationship where the individual is recognised as an active partner in their own care
Active participation is an approach where the individual is regarded as an active partner in their own care rather than a passive recipient, contributing to activities and decisions as much as they are able. It focuses on the individual's own involvement, not on family or staff acting for them.
