Legislation forms a framework which social care workers must adhere to in order to promote a positive care environment. An organisations policies and procedures are formed to adhere to these legislations in order to follow the national care standards of promoting dignity, privacy, choice, respect, valuing equality and diversity, and independence. If you look up the Scottish Social Services Council, or the 'care commission' website, these will give you more detailed information and inform you of the relevant legislations used in the care sector. Hope this helps!
