The Person Centred Planning Network
Person Centred Planning is a range approaches or tools that can be used to help individuals or families to think about their lives. This way of working is supported by a very strong set of values that puts the individual in control of their planning and helps them to become more connected to their community.
Although most people would agree that it makes sense to use these approaches, there are lots of things that get in the way. Therefore, in 2004 we set up a Wales-wide support group. When we are together we look at how it’s going, what’s working and what’s getting in the way, by looking at real examples. We always try and practice what we preach and run Meetings in a ‘person centred way’ and look at creatively linking individuals together to make the most of our skills and resources.
This Network is open to anyone who is promoting, training people in, or simply using person centred planning in their work or life. We think that it is best if you have already done some training on how to use the approaches, as everybody who comes to Meetings practically knows how it works.
Because the Network has grown so big we now have 2 ‘All Wales’ Meetings per year, that are complimented by 3 Regional Groups who meet 4 or 5 times per year. These groups cover North, South east and Mid and west Wales and are hosted by different members of the network. See the regional networks on a map here>>.
