Delivering Dignity: The 6 Cs Every Carer Should Know
The 6 Cs: Delivering Person-Centred, Dignified Care
In UK health and social care, person‑centred care is essential. It ensures support is tailored to individual needs, upholding dignity in care at every stage. The 6 Cs guide this approach and reflect the core values in social care.
What Are the 6 Cs?
The 6 Cs were developed to promote high-quality care:
Putting the needs of the person first and ensuring their wellbeing.
Treating people with kindness, empathy, and respect.
Having the knowledge and skills to provide safe, effective care.
Listening actively and sharing information clearly.
Speaking up when something isn’t right or could be done better.
Being dedicated to improving outcomes for every person you support.
Why Dignity in Care Matters
Dignity in care means treating people as individuals, protecting their privacy, and promoting respect. It helps people feel:
-
Valued and heard
-
Involved in decisions
-
Respected and equal
It’s vital in care homes, community support, and all care settings.
