This makes every individual unique in their own ways, because there is no set prescription or format. On the other hand, these can be changed, defended and challenged throughout an individual’s life. Values can often cause conflict between personal and professional beliefs, however, if these are identified they can be resolved. Within care work, values are guided and promoted in the process of developing and hopefully adopting professional values.
