Person-centred planning in central to Valuing People. Developing person-centred teams is a key to implementing plans. This article presents a model for developing person-centred teams. The model is based on research on providing support to people with learning difficulties in supported housing. The research generated ideas about how teams need to become person-centred to become more effective. Examples of how teams worked to implement plans are show to illustrate this process and clarify why it requires a change in thinking as well as a change in practice.
