When taking the young adults it is important to apply the care values in all situations whilst at the farm.

For example if one of the individuals has a problem with going to the toilet and has to wear a pad which has to be changed every few hours but that certain individual doesn’t want any of their friends to know about it, then it would be the service providers job to make sure that only the people that had to know about it knew.

Whilst at the farm it is also important to treat all the service users as it were you, this is called preserving dignity, For example when walking around the farm and having a chat with the individual it is important to use the appropriate tone and talk about their interests, this will prevent the individual from feeling embarrassed or lose any of their self-dignity.
