What is Person Centred Planning?

What have you got and what do you want?

You may not be able to have what you for money reasons or other reason, which maybe the same reasons for people with disabilities and health problems and other reasons because of their disabilities and health problems.
Person Centre Planning is to see that there is the support out for what the person wants and needs in their lives.

What may they want they want to do and don't want in their lives?

  • Home
  • Health
  • Education
  • Having enough support
  • work
  • Having enough independence
  • Benefit trap
  • Social/ no social life 
  • Being treated like a child or there's no one around all.
What about you?

What you got and do what you like?
What has you got and do what you dislike?
What do you want?
What don't you want?

Here are so examples.
  • Home
  • Health
  • Education
  • Employment
  • Children
  • Partner
  • Holiday
  • Social life/ no social life

Person-centred planning is about a person's choice and control balancing the independence when wanted and needed. Each person you come across is likely to face different strengths and weaknesses in their lives just like everyone.  Some people may need more support than others.

What stops people doing things?

People with disabilities and health problems have very little choice and control over our lives but not necessary a nasty way but and loving over projected way. This can be by family members, parents, carers, support worker, social worker and or etc. There needs to be a balance between too much support and no support at all.

How does someone know when and when not that support is needed?

Different disabilities and health problems affect different people in different ways, which is no more different than other, only needing a lot more support. The person is likely to ask for support when they need them if the support isn't offered when they don't. We are likely to want to learn new skills but we just need to right support to do so. We need support with what we can't manage but we need our independence with what we can manage where the balance comes in.
