1 - Person Centred Planning

Person centred planning (PCP) and approaches was an important part of the government’s plans in Valuing People (2001) for people with learning disabilities.

Person centred planning is a way of supporting people to work out what they want, the support they need and helping them get it. It involves continual listening, learning and actionand helps the person get what they want out of life.

Being 'person centred' or using a 'person centred approach' means making sure that everything we do is based upon what is important to a person from their own perspective.

Person centred planning discovers and acts on what is important to a person.
