Within my placement setting in Aspire Scotland there are legislation protecting the children and young people ensuring good health, wellbeing and safeguarding. One of the legislations in place is the Regulation of Care Act 2001. The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) is a non-departmental public body established by this act From this the SSSC produced the codes of practice which was produced to protect people who use services, raise standards of practice and support workers. The SSSC and Care Commission work closely together to ensure employers and workers understand their responsibilities in relation to the Codes of Practice.

The duty of care is a key issue within safeguarding as it sets a legal duty on all healthcare practitioners to provide care that is not only in the safest most effective way possible but that it is always person-centred and is in the best interest of that specific individual accessing the service. Within safeguarding, there are eight different key issues provided by legislation that apply, there are six for safeguarding adults and two for safeguarding children. It is extremely important to maintain these key issues: humans have the right to be protected from maltreatment. To support this, it is said that “living a life that is free from harm and abuse is a fundamental human right and an essential requirement for health and well-being” (NHS, 2023). This means that all health and social care professionals are legally obliged to follow all principles in order to provide the highest quality of care and support.
Learning the codes of practice ensures that I promote and uphold the privacy, dignity and rights of the clients I care for and that I strive to improve the quality of healthcare, care and support through continuing professional development. I achieve this within my job role by ensuring that the service users and their families are informed and included in all aspects of their care
