Description

During this course we will look at the criteria for a support plan within self directed support, we will demonstrate how it is possible to meet the criteria whilst maintaining a person centred approach. We will explore the person centred planning techniques that, when used, can be a big step in developing a meaningful and significant support plan.

Aims
Creating a Support Plan is the pivotal point of getting it right. The aim of personalisation and self directed support is wonderful and a breath of fresh air for many people, although we still have to remain thoughtful at each step of the way to ensure that the person is taking the lead and that the outcome achieved is what they would want. Ultimately to avoid an approach that is overly systemized without a focus on the individual.

Each person has their own uniqueness and we aim to show you during this one day course how to capture this uniqueness in the documents that need to be completed to achieve self directed support. Developing techniques to listen closely and develop a collective approach to getting it right.
