Understand person centred approaches for care and support Person centred values is a theory developed by Carl Rogers that trusted the innate tendency (known as the actualising tendency) of human beings to find fulfilment of their personal potentials. An important part of this theory is that in a particular psychological environment, the fulfilment of personal potentials includes sociability, the need to be with others and a desire to know and be known by other people.

This environment could be achieved when being in a relationship with a person who was very understanding, accepting and genuine.

Australia was settled by Britain in 1788, therefore our legal system developed from British Law. But as there have been developments in society, it is constantly modified to allow justice to prevail as best possible. Two of the sources of contemporary Australian law do this in different ways. The first source of Australian law is known as ‘Common Law’ which is law made by courts. Common law originated from Britain, as the Normans set out to achieve a unified legal system after the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
