What is person centred practice? • Puts the person at the centre of the process • Recognises strengths and skills • Identifies what's important to them • Not service led • How best to support me • Partnership approach
Why it works • Delivers real change for people • People “own” their plans • Helps aspirational planning • Holistic approach –asset based • Different conversation • Network of support • Access to employment, social connections and housing
Examples • One page profiles –see handouts • “Important to me” tool • Other resources available-link • Supports a different conversation • Helps identify good outcomes • Can be reviewed to make sure its working well for the person • Staff can do their own profile-matching
From aspirations to outcomes • A job is an aspiration and an outcome. It is likely that there will need to be medium term and shorter tem outcomes to get there • What is the evidence about what works?
Person-centred planning and the legal framework • How to ensure that person-centred information leads to the right support for a young person • Completing an EHC plan template
Opportunities and Challenges • Converting Statements and Learning Difficulty Assessments to EHC plans • Skills • Systems • Capacity
