individuals with different needs

least amount of restriction on their fundamental
liberties and rights as practicable.
National Health Service ● Act passed to enhance health services for both mental

rights in UK courts, and it requires public institutions like the government, police, and local
councils to treat everyone equally, fairly, and with respect. (Liberty Humanrights.org)
Fairness, Respect, Equality, Dignity, and Autonomy is the acronym for FREDA (choice and
control). These principles, which incorporate provisions from the 1998 Human Rights Act
and are in line with the 2010 Equality Act, are thought to serve as the foundation for all
international human rights treaties (CQC). E.g for fairness, Health Professionals in a health
and social care setting must give the other service users viewpoint appropriate regard and
provide them the chance to express and be heard.
B.M3: Analyse how an ethical approach to providing support would benefit specific
individuals with different needs
B.D2: Justify the strategies and techniques used to overcome ethical issues and
