Introduction to the module

About the modules

​Every older person is an individual shaped by their preferences, personal characteristics, life experiences and beliefs. Therefore, every episode of care you provide will be different, responding to the individual and what’s important to them.

Irrespective of the service you are providing, the circumstances or environment in which they are being provided, your practice and approach must reflect a rights-based approach.

So, what does a rights-based approach involve?

A rights-based approach involves the delivery of high-quality care that focuses on the older person. It places the older person at the centre of care and emphasizes that older people must be afforded dignity, respect, equality and the protection from discrimination and abuse. This approach places older people at the forefront, empowering them to make choices and decisions that affect their lives.

​The Connecting through a rights-based approach e-learning seeks to build your understanding of a rights-based approach in practice. 

Each of the self-paced e-learning modules provides you with an opportunity to understand how your interactions with an older person might impact their experience of the service and their care and support outcomes.

You create the story ending depending on the care and support decisions you make along the way.

​The modules are designed to challenge you and your approach, so every path you take is an opportunity to reflect, learn and improve. 

Set yourself up for success

To maximise your experience of the learning, it is recommended that you set aside one hour per story.  This includes following different pathways to understand how different choices might impact the outcome.

At the conclusion of each storyline it is recommended that you take time to reflect on your choices and the outcomes.  A series of reflective questions is included for each storyline.
