Individuals should always be given the opportunity to communicate their consent or refusal of care therefore if it is established that they do not have the mental capacity to give their consent a best interest decision must be made. The ability to communicate remains important throughout all aspects and it is our role to assist the individual to access the resources and holistic support they require whilst they are in our care.
The inability or difficulty to communicate can also place an individual in a vulnerable position. It is the learner’s responsibility to be alert to an individual’s vulnerability and ensure that they protect and promote their rights and wellbeing at all times. Learners should follow their local safeguarding policies and procedures and promptly report if they have any concerns. This module will help learners to develop their understanding and competence of supporting an individual with specific communication needs.
