| Effective person-centred
planning does not just happen when organisations provide a rolling
staff training programme, it happens when the person and those
who support and care about them make a promise to take the first
steps in bringing about change. |
If person-centred
planning is to have a real impact on people’s lives, organisations
have to be prepared to change the way they deliver services
and empower people who use their services to have more control
over how planning takes place.
It does not simply mean setting up a bureaucratic paper-based
planning system ‘where one size fits everyone’ - it
is about providing the opportunity for taking a flexible approach
to planning which is matched/suited to each different individual
and those who support and care about them. So training in person-centred
planning that is effective has to go hand in hand with person-centred
organisational change.
This is where the NDT can help:
We provide a wide range of training workshops
in person-centred planning, backed up by many years of experience
and strong links to best practice and new developments.
The range of NDT training opportunities and resources is set
within a package of six key elements of person-centred planning
as shown in the diagram. Please click on the area you are interested

Workshop
options
These workshops can be attended
as a package, one at a time, in stages under specific headings
or designed to suit individual requirements.
Training style
The training consists of a mixture of
short presentations, with much of the time spent in group work,
in order to allow time for reflection, discussion, and the development
of creative ideas for action.
The NDT is encouraging organisations
to support the idea of using the workshops to provide an opportunity
for the person (whatever their disability may be) and their
circle of support to attend the workshop together - so that
the planning can begin in reality as the workshop progresses.
The circle of support usually includes key staff who work closely
with the person and know them well.
If only staff are attending the
training - as part of learning about planning, participants
are encouraged to look at their own lives and explore what this
can teach them about planning with people who use their services.
Intended participants
The training is aimed at statutory,
voluntary or independent sector organisations as well as people
who use services and/or their families and carers. (The NDT
does not provide ‘one off’ training places to individual
applicants.).
