  11. Person Centred Planning Person Centred Planning may be defined as a way of discovering:  how a person wants to live their life and  what is required to make that possible NPSA

  12. Person Centred Planning It is planning that takes as its primary focus a person - as opposed to a disability or a service or some other particular issue. It is about citizenship, inclusion in family, community and the mainstream of life and self determination NPSA

  13. Person Centred Planning It can, therefore, require some very fundamental changes in thinking It revolves around the “important” people in a person’s life sitting down with the person and supporting them to plan a life for themselves. NPSA

  14. Person Centred Planning Requires a lot of Thought Talk Listening Throughout the Process At meetings NPSA

  17. Circles of Support Is a way of using the natural supports that come from family, friends, neighbours and the wider community NPSA
