Respect, intimacy and personal care.

A significant part of the role of a PA is assisting individuals with their personal care. This might include using the toilet, managing body hair, periods, and being able to be washed and dressed.
We'll look into the kinds of assistance that may be needed, how that might be done and the importance of good communication.
The crucial thing is that you remain respectful of your employer - and you'll be learning more about that in this module.
