Person Centred Planning is about:

Person Centred Planning is not:

.  Listening to and learning about what people want from their lives

.  The same as assessment and care planning

.  Helping people to think about what they want now and in the future

.  The same as reviews

.  Family, friends, professionals and services working together with the person to make this happen

.  Owned by services

.  A commitment to keep learning about the person

.  Just a new type of meeting

.  For everyone who wants one

.  Only for children or adults who are 'easy to work with'

 

.  Only effective if it is beautifully written or typed
