It identifies relevant national minimum standards, and highlights findings and case examples from the practice survey, as well as from the literature where available. The Guide contains practice points, including areas of conflict, on-going debate about roles and responsibilities, and the application of person-centred approaches to adult placements. It contains sections on: being person-centred, assessment and referral, matching and introductions, monitoring and review, moving on, adult placement carers, advocacy; and person-centred planning.
