  • Seek Feedback: Regularly seek constructive feedback from team members, superiors, and those you support. This can help identify any biases or preconceived notions that may affect your care practices. It can also highlight areas where your values, behaviours, and actions have had a positive impact.
  • Reflective Journals: Maintain a reflective journal to record and reflect on your interactions, feelings, and decision-making processes. By analysing your actions and their outcomes, you can become more aware of your values, behaviours, and actions in different situations.
  • Training and Professional Development: Engage in training opportunities that focus on self-awareness and understanding personal values. This can help you evaluate your behaviour and actions in the workplace and highlight areas for growth or change.
  • Mentorship and Supervision: Engage with mentors or supervisors who can provide unbiased feedback on your performance. They can offer insights and advice based on their experiences and observations, which can foster increased self-awareness.
  • Peer Reflection: Participate in peer reflection sessions where you and your colleagues can provide feedback to each other. Such interactions can offer different perspectives on the same situation, enhancing your understanding of your own behaviour and actions.
  • Self-Evaluation: Regularly assess your actions and behaviours against the organisational values and standards. This can help you see if your actions align with these guidelines and identify areas where improvement may be needed.
  • Personal Development Plan: Use feedback and reflections to develop a personal development plan. This plan should outline areas for improvement and set achievable goals, providing a clear pathway to enhance your self-awareness and practice.
  • Openness to Change: Be open to change and willing to adapt your behaviours and actions based on feedback and reflection. Self-awareness involves acknowledging areas of weakness and taking steps to improve.
  • Mindfulness: Mindfulness techniques can help increase self-awareness by promoting focus and attentiveness to your thoughts, feelings, and actions in the present moment.
  • Remember, self-awareness is an ongoing process. Continuous feedback, reflection, and adjustment will help ensure that you’re providing the best possible care and support to individuals with learning disabilities, dementia, and mental health conditions.
