Person-centred planning

A set of approaches designed to assist an individual to plan their life
and supports. It is most often used for life planning with people with learning and developmental
disabilities, though recently it has been advocated as a method of planning personalised support
with many other sections of society who find themselves disempowered by traditional methods
of service delivery, including children, people with physical disabilities, people with mental health
issues and older people. Person-centred planning is accepted as evidence based practice in many
countries throughout the world
