1.1.a1.1
Can you expect older people to trust you straight away? Explain.
Submitted answer:Submitted answer:
We cannot expect older people to trust us straight away because:Trust depends on behavioral reliability and consistency. When the behavior of workers is not predictable ( for examplenot doing what they claim they will or disclosing information about a person who believed it was private etc), they areletting old people downTrust involves having confidence in worker's intentions - a belief or understanding that the worker respects the person'srights and that the worker will not use the relationship to damage them in any way.

you do with this information?
Submitted answer:Submitted answer:
Community service staff often have access to a great deal of information about clients. This information is confidentialand must remain so. Whist community service employees have a legal obligation under privacy legislation, to protectsensitive and personal client information - written and verbal - they also have an ethical obligation to treat clientconfidences appropriately. That is not to discuss them with others unless authorized by the client to do so.Respect for privacy and confidentiality is fundamental to protecting the rights of clients. However, it is also recognizedthat the sharing of information is essential for clients to receive the assistance they need. With the development oftechnology, information can be relayed and duplicated with ease. While this can facilitate communication, it alsoincreases the possibility of the abuse of confidentiality.

Why must workers refrain from imposing their own values and beliefs on clients?
Submitted answer:Submitted answer:
These allow a person to understand the world in terms of how one thing affects another and what things they caninfluence or change and what things are beyond their control. Beliefs come from a variety of experiences. Manyoriginate from or are indoctrinated into people during their developing years by parents, teachers, religious leaders,siblings, friends, coaches, bosses, the media, movies, books and personal experience. They are usually repeatedlyexperienced and reinforced over the years.Values and beliefs are inextricably linked. Values are consequence of underlying beliefs. A value can be considered tobe a cluster of beliefs about a specific concept. For example the value of honesty is simply a title or name we give to acollection of beliefs we hold about the importance or preference we have for being honest; beliefs such as: it alwayspays to be honest or the truth will set you free, or people only trust when you are consistently honest. Values and beliefwill determine what people see as being important and why those things are seen to be important.One can go so far as to say that all behaviors and actions are based on values and belief. Parents who do not valueclose relationships with their children, for example, will not take the time to engage with them, communicate with themor nurture them. People who do no value their health will not take the time to exercise, eat well and avoid those thingsthat might negatively impact upon them ( for example smoking, drinking, taking drugs).If the major values of workers and the older people they interact with correlate, they can usually exist together in areasonably unproblematic way. Where major differences arise, workers need to respect the opinions of others and listento differing viewpoints with an open mind rather than immediately shutting down. Workers need to acknowledge thatdifferences exist and need to find a way of moving forward.
