It puts the individual at the center and getting to know them as a person (recognizing their individuality). In addition, taking a holistic approach to assessing people’s needs and providing care is key to ensure an individual can reach their goals.
  • The belief that and individual can plan for themselves
  • The care plan is written in first person to make clear that it is the individual who owns it.
  • The individual has as much control as possible over the choices they can make.
  • The plan is there to make the individual’s life better, not to fit them into an existing service.
