🔸 Promoting Dignity, Choice & Independence

At Libra Support Services, we believe everyone deserves to live a life filled with respect, autonomy, and the freedom to make their own choices. 💚

Supporting dignity means recognising each person as an individual with their own preferences, identity and voice. 🌟
Empowering choice means actively involving people in decisions about their care and daily life. ✨
Promoting independence means offering the right support at the right time — encouraging confidence, building skills, and enabling people to live as fully and freely as possible. 💪

A key part of this is consent. ✔️
We always seek clear, informed consent before providing support, ensuring the person fully understands, agrees, and feels in control of what happens next.

Every day, our team works with compassion and respect to ensure those we support feel valued, heard, and empowered. 🤝💛

Together, we champion a culture where dignity isn’t just protected — it's celebrated. 🌈

🌟 Safeguarding Adults Week 2025 🌟
Promoting Dignity, Choice & Independence

Today, we’re highlighting a key safeguarding principle that underpins everything we do at Libra Support Services — supporting people to live with dignity, choice, and independence.

Every individual has the right to feel respected, valued, and in control of their own life. Safeguarding isn’t just about responding to concerns — it’s also about creating an environment where people feel empowered to make decisions about their care and daily life.

🟩 What this means in practice:

Encouraging people to be involved in decisions about their care

Respecting personal preferences, routines, and cultural needs

Supporting independence wherever possible, with the right level of assistance

Listening to what matters most to each individual

Ensuring privacy and dignity during all aspects of care

Promoting confidence, wellbeing, and autonomy

At Libra, our home care heroes work with compassion, patience, and professionalism to ensure that every person we support maintains control over their life, with care tailored to their wishes and needs.

We also work closely with other professionals — including community nurses, social workers, GPs, and allied health teams — to ensure a joined-up approach that protects rights and promotes independence.

💚🧡 Dignity, choice, and independence form the foundation of safe, person-centred care — this week and every week.
