In the box below, please write an explanation of why you decided to tell Sheila that Isobel’s choice has to be respected as she has capacity to make decisions regarding her care. You should include any dilemmas that this choice of action may cause, and explain the potential outcomes that this could have for Isobel, her carers and the workers who are supporting her.
We suggest that to cover this is sufficient detail, you should write at least 400 words. You might find it helpful to include how your choice relates to legislation and the SSSC Code of Practice for Social Service Workers. When you have finished your reflective account, you can save the this page to your computer or email it (see guide information on the right).
