Summary
This book's purpose is to explore all aspects of person centred planning.
Context
Person centred planning has become a key concept in services for people with learning disabilities. Workers in the field may, in the course of their work, have come across different planning styles over the years. As a result, some people may be tempted to ask whether person centred planning isn't just the latest way of doing individual programme plans or assessments.
Contents
An introduction explains that the book is intended for managers and senior practitioners who want to continue their professional development, and should also be of interest to senior staff and managers preparing for the Learning Disability Awards Framework (LDAF) Higher Professional Diploma (Level 4) Unit 2: Person Centred Planning in a Learning Disability Service and studying S/NVQ at Level 4. It then outlines its purpose: to explore the principles, implementation and impact of person-centred planning; investigate ways of maximising its effectiveness for individuals; review the user's practice within the process; and analyse the wider context in which it operates, including resources, constraints and opportunities. The nature, aims and outcomes of the LDAF Higher Professional Diploma (Level 4) are given, with notes for non-diploma readers and on activities and reflections.
The core of the book consists of seven chapters. 'The principles of person-centred planning' considers the principles, key futures and origins of person centred planning and how it contracts with other approaches to care planning. It also reviews the legislative and policy context in the United Kingdom . 'Person centred planning styles' looks at the different styles and techniques that have been developed and what makes each one special. 'Skills and approaches' focuses on the range of roles that can be involved in person centred planning, the skills needed and the importance of record keeping. 'Barriers and challenges' is about approaches that enable people to be in control of their own lives. 'Resources' considers the ways that funding is allocated on both a local and a national level, how allocation impacts upon availability of the whole range of resources and how shortfalls can be highlighted to stimulate change. 'The impact of person centred planning' is primarily reflective, to enable managers to learn from implementing person centred planning and to respond proactively to the impact that person centred planning has on individual lives. 'The wider context of person centred planning' draws together the strands of the whole book, putting person centred planning into the wider context of services, both locally and nationally. Finally come references and lists of resources.

This article reviews the findings of a major evaluation of person-centred planning for people with learning difficulties. The research, funded by the Department of Health, shows that person-centred planning has led to significant changes in the areas of social networks, contact with family, contact with friends, community-based activities, scheduled day activities, and levels of choice.

In this study individual plans for people with intellectual disabilities were evaluated for quality and effectiveness in improving quality of life. Quality was assessed by rating whether goals were relevant, observable, age appropriate, necessary, timetabled, developmental, measurable, realistic, assigned to staff and improving at least one of O'Brien's five service accomplishments. Effectiveness was assessed by examining quality of life outcomes for participants with and without individual plans rated as higher quality. No significant difference in outcomes associated with having a higher quality individual plan was found. Findings present a challenge to current expectations that presence and quality of individual plan goals are associated with improved outcomes. Written individual plan goals may not be directly correlated with actual practice, and further research is required to examine this.

This article presents a model of practice termed 'Network Training' which describes a structured approach to working with the network of support around an individual with learning disabilities. Within learning disability services there are many contexts in which the support system has opportunities to come together. For example, care management review meetings; person centred planning meetings and a multitude of clinical and service forums. However, each would have its own purpose and agenda ultimately impacting on the extent to which people within to system can contribute to resolving issues pertinent to the person with learning disabilities. The authors describe a model of practice we have developed over several years. Systemic theory has influenced the way in which we practice. Using a case example, a model of the Network Training process is outlined. Reference is made to the role of the facilitator and the authors' clinical experiences of using this approach. Issues of evaluation are also discussed.

This mainly conceptual paper summarises the current conceptualisation of personalisation as it applies to people with learning disabilities. It goes on to map out how the drive towards the personalisation of services, its most recent iterations of person-centred planning, person-centred funding and person-centred action, contributes to a better quality of life for people with intellectual disabilities using quality of life domain indicators (social inclusion, physical well-being, interpersonal relations, material well-being, emotional well-being, self-determination, personal development and rights). In doing so it describes what you would see in services where person-centred approaches were being successfully implemented.

Recent research has demonstrated that person-centred planning leads to positive changes for people. This research shows how person centred planning is associated with benefits in the areas of community involvement, contact with friends, contact with family and choice. This paper briefly describes this research and its recommendations. In addition it explores the implications for managers and professional supporting people with learning disabilities. The research took place over two years in four localities in England.
