1 Understand the principles and practice of person-centred thing,planning and reviews. 1.1 Explain what person -centred thinking is, and how it relates to person-centred reviews and person centred planning. Person centred thinking is a set of values, skills and tools used in getting to know someone by Person Centred Planning and in personalising of services used by people who need supports provided by social or health care. It is separating what is important to, from what is important for the individual and finding a balance between them. 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.
Person-centered values provide a foundation on which we can base and build our practice. We need to understand what the values are, how we can promote them and why they are important. A value is simply what is important in the life of the person we are supporting. These are the person centered values; Individuality, rights, choices, privacy, independence, dignity, respect, partnership, equal opportunities. 1.2 person centered values are important with care plans as Care planning is all about improving the lives of those who receive care.

246 Support person-centred thinking and planning 1.1 Person-centred planning is a set of approaches designed to assist someone to plan their life and supports. It is used most often as a life planning model to enable individuals with disabilities or otherwise requiring support to increase their personal self-determination and improve their own independence. Person-centred thinking is separating what is important to from, what is important for The people they support and finding a balance between them, person-centred planning reflects upon a person’s capacities, what is important to a person (now and for the future) and specifies the support they require to make a valued contribution to their community. Services are delivered in the context of the life a person chooses and not about slotting people into “gaps”. 1.2 what is important to the person - what matters to them, from their perspective clearly identifies the supports that the person requires - what is important for them to stay healthy and safe, and it identifies what needs to stay the same or be enhanced in the person’s life, and what needs to change (in order that the person has more of what is important to them in their life).
It ensures that what is done is in accordance with what is important to that person.

1.1 Evaluate the extent to which the outcomes for a range of individuals conform to contemporary person-centred values and aims using the principles of the active support model. Using the active support model as an approach to supporting means people will be supported in a person centred way through inclusion in everyday activity and by allowing choice and control which conforms to the contemporary person centred values as it allows people to demonstrate their competence or their autonomy in activity through participation on their own terms. By trying activities a person will develop and learn new skills in physical, mental and social contexts. They will be in control of the activities as the person supporting them will be aware of their communications and respect their choices. As people learn they will gain knowledge and experience and with this a person develops confidence in their own abilities and will develop a sense of self worth and wellbeing.
Effective communication affects all aspects of work as it is a way of developing personal relationships with service users and their families so you are able to meet their needs. It is important to develop positive relationships with work colleagues and other professionals, sharing information and having the information you need to be able to report on your work. This can only be achieved through effective communication. It is important to use different types of communication such as verbal, non verbal (body language, expression, signs, symbols or other visual aids) to clearly understand an individual’s needs and wishes. 1.3 Explain why it is important to observe an individual’s reactions when communicating with them.
Remembering that providing encouragement to feedback will in turn help to highlight any areas of the activity they may need to be improved, and help to assess any issues that they individual may have, it also gives you chance to let them know how well they are doing. 4.2: Agree processes and criteria for evaluating the therapeutic benefits of the group and its activities. Before starting the activity we would agree the process and criteria, planning is part of the process which begins with an assessment, part of the process would be to identify the goals and benefits and the overall aim of what they want to achieve from the activity. 4.3: Carry out own responsibilities for supporting the evaluation and agreeing any revisions. My responsibilities for supporting the individuals would be to ensure that all policies and protocols are up to date and adhered to, that all risk assessments have been carried out, and that the individuals is part of the planning and that they understand what the activity is about and that they understand what is expected of them during the activity.
