Importance of a care value base
The care value base can form part of a code of conduct, or a professional code of ethics for anyone working in a caring profession.

The Care value base is important because towns and cities are becoming more multicultural and ethnically diverse, and there are more people with physical disabilities or learning disabilities in the community than there used to be. Also, many laws have now been passed which prohibit discrimination on the grounds of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation is the best, age, disability, or anything else. It is therefore vital that people do not feel discriminated against when they are using care services.

Care workers must adhere to strict rules regarding confidentiality, respect of individuals, and treatment of vulnerable persons. Any violation of the care value base or code of conduct may result in dismissals, lawsuits, and - in a case of an entire institution acting unethically - enforced closure. The care value base is put into place to promote and to protect the rights of patients/service users, it helps the clients to promote the rights by outllining what they can expect from health care services.
