Naomi is a Disability Services Team Member at Lotus Care. Every Thursday morning two clients, Trent and Helen have appointments scheduled with the resident podiatrist, and travel from their homes to come into the centre. Naomi really likes Trent, even though he has dementia, he’s always cheery and is really easy to get on with. The only problem is that he is consistently late for his appointments. Helen on the other hand is difficult to deal with due to the pain she suffers resulting from her brain injury. She is very negative and always complaining. However, she is always on time. This week both Trent and Helen are more than 15 minutes late for their appointments. Policy states that if the client is more than 10 minutes late they will lose their appointment and have to make a new one.Helen’s appointment is first and Naomi follows the policy and informs Helen that she will need to make another appointment, even though Helen explains her lateness was due to her bus running late. Later that morning Trent turns up late as usual.Naomi turns to Trent and says, “Seeing as it’s you, come on then!” Decide if the issue in the scenario is a legal or ethical issue.

The Home Care Services Team at Lotus Care regularly gets together after work on a Friday evening to celebrate the start of the weekend. Team members meet at a local bar where plenty of alcohol tends to be consumed. Farah has just joined the team as a trainee. She is from Pakistan and is a devout Muslim. She has arranged with her supervisor to have Friday off each week to attend prayers. She is quiet and unassuming and everyone is pleased to have her on the team. Gina, one of the team members, is culturally sensitive and is concerned that Farah will be offended if she is invited to join in the Friday get togethers. She conducts some research and discovers that Muslims do not drink alcohol and females are usually not permitted to join in events where alcohol is served. Gina wants to make sure that Farah enjoys her traineeship at Lotus Care and suggests the rest of the team not to tell Farah about Friday evenings to avoid offending her.

Susan works as a Home Care Services Team Member at Lotus Care. Her client Harry is an 83-year-old gentleman. He is in good health, but just lately has been unsteady on his feet. He is determined to look after himself and insists he can go to the bathroom on his own. Susan conducted a risk assessment and decided Harry must use a mobility aid around the house. She updated his Care Plan accordingly. Whilst Susan was on leave, Maria took over Harry’s care. Harry advised Maria that he didn’t want to use the walker as he was perfectly capable of looking after himself. Maria wanted to make sure Harry was involved in deciding about his own care and allowed Harry to walk unaided to the bathroom. During one visit Harry fell and Maria had to help him back into his chair. Harry hurt is arm and received medical treatment for severe bruising.
