Many vulnerable people lack meaningful networks because of their marginalised position in society. They miss out on the kind of informal support that is provided from their close network and resources, without this they won’t receive the help and support they require and need. With Steven having only one family member to support him he relies on other forms of linked networks such as a befriender who visits him twice a week as he feels isolated due to being bedbound and not out socialising, this is very important to him as well as his carers on a regular daily basis. These links come together on a regular basis to help Steven to improve his life, a process of person centred planning towards helping him develop a path that will fulfil his needs and dreams.

Effective care planning and documentation are essential nursing skills as well as being a professional, legal and ethical requirement of nursing practice (NMC, 2015). This essay will primarily focus on individualised care plans and goal setting using the SMART framework (appendix 1)( Werle Lee et al 2010).

    Using theories from social influences and human behaviour and development I was able to see Mr’s perspective on issues which he has spoken in confidence about, and also how the community may feel towards someone like Mr X without knowing his background or personality. By complying with the NMC Codes of conduct I treated Mr X as an individual without judgement and with respect throughout the entire activity (NMC, 2015). Safe working practice was also a key aspect leading up to and during the activity, this is knowledge not only gained from my HNC course but by thoroughly researching the care homes policies and procedures in relation to risk assessments. Throughout the planning and development of the activity I tried to ensure where possible that I linked theory learned during my course into practice leading up to and during the activity.
