1. Person Centred Planning
Course Description:
Person Centred Planning is a process of life planning for individuals, based around the principles
of inclusion and the social model of disability. Derived mainly from the early work in building
circles of support, these tools should be available for us all. Person Centred Planning tools are
alive and active, always ensuring the focus person is central and in control. They are flexible,
setting no limits to the person’s wants, needs and dreams for their life. In Person Centred Planning
the process, as well as the product, is owned and controlled by the person (and sometimes their
closest family and friends). As there are no prescribed forms, tick boxes or checklists, the resulting
plan of support is totally individual. It creates a comprehensive portrait of who the person is and
what they want to do with their life and brings together all of the people who are important
to the person including family, friends, neighbours, support workers and other professionals
involved in their lives. Person Centred Planning replaces more traditional outmoded styles of
assessment and planning which are based on a medical model approach to people’s needs.
