It reflects what is important to the person (now and for the future) and specifies the support they require to make a valued contribution to their community. 1.2 Explain the benefits of using person-centred thinking with individuals. By using person centred thinking a profile can be made to suit the individual focusing on what is important to the person, how they wish to live and then moves towards those aspirations. 1.3 Explain the beliefs and values on which person centred thinking and planning is based. It is based on the belief and values that people with learning disabilities are entitled to the same rights and choices as other members of society.
It should lead and/or participate in statewide projects and community initiatives as requested. 3. Management should also establish goals, objectives, policies and procedures consistent with the missions of the division, department and region. In addition, management should direct professional staff in developing their skills, delivering quality services and documenting efforts. Finally, management should promote awareness of programs within the community as well as perform other professional responsibilities as assigned
Assessments are systematic and ongoing processes of providing usable and useful information about the needs of a target population to those who can and will use it to make judgments about policy and programs. They are necessary when it comes to implementing new programs as they are used to set goals, planning paths to achieve goals, assess progress and plan for improvement. Needs assessments are important tools for communities. They can have important impacts on policy-making decisions, provided they are carried out well and results are disseminated effectively. It is possible to conduct assessments on various subgroups of a community as opposed to the whole community.

What I mostly tie this to is community service. Community service is very important because without it, many tasks would go unfinished, people would suffer, and communities would lose their valuable means to function. This also helps bring individuals, especially of different ethnic groups, to come together, and get involved within their community for a positive outcome. Conclusion There are multiple ways to define community. The ones highlighted in this paper involve “any group sharing something in common” (Hampton & Heaven, n.d.), how a community operates on a group-based level, and virtual communities.
In a sentence or two, describe how these goals are valued by the community you serve. C. Describe your action plan. 1. Where will you conduct the activity? 2.
We find out through communication with that person. If you are communicating with someone, you are their interacting partners. Communication is the basis of person-centred planning. This booklet tells you about some of the key things to think about if you are communicating with someone with learning disabilities. • Think about people: the person at the centre and your own response • Think about the ways information is presented and shared • Think about the effects of the environment • Think about the ongoing process of making choices.
I also identify that communication flow must also be maintained amongst individual team members. Just as with the residents, members in a team have different needs too and these need to be considered when either delegating or receiving information from the other party. In the NMS (April 2011), supporting effective communication is
Its aim is to endow the group or individual with the necessary knowledge and skills to be able to “take power into their own hands” and/or have a meaningful input into the redistribution of power. (Ife & Tesoriero, 2006) It is also important to recognise that the “individual and community are fundamentally connected.” (Page & Czuba, 1999) The way in which empowerment can be achieved will depend on the context and social environment in which the change is taking place. For example, if a group who feel that they are not being listened to (or even ignored) are given the ability to have even a small influence in the decision-making processes that directly affect them, this can have a hugely empowering effect on the individuals in the group, and on the group as a
As a member if a community to be socially responsible means to volunteer time and services where it is needed. Being socially responsible means that people and organizations must behave ethically and with sensitivity toward social, culture, economic and environmental issues. Striving for social responsibility helps individuals, organizations and governments have a positive impact on development, business and society with a positive contribution to bottom-line
