This unit is from our archive and it is an adapted extract from Understanding Health and Social Care (K100) which is no longer in presentation. if you wish to study formally at The Open University, you may wish to explore the courses we offer in this curriculum area.
To set up a care relationship that works well is a delicate matter, whether you are at the giving or the receiving end. In this unit we explore the very varied meanings of care relationships and how these meanings arise. Millions of care relationships are going on as you read this, and each carries its own particular meanings for those involved. But where have all those people picked up their ideas of how to relate to each other? How does any of us know where to begin?
