Person-centred planning and post-16 Education
A report funded by the Learning and Skills Council
Project Status: Completed 2005
The starting point of the project that this report is based on, was that on the whole, post-16 education and training providers are not well informed about person-centred planning and the implications it has for their work. Many working in post-16 education know that they need to find out more about person-centred planning but are unsure about where to start. Working from a position of such uncertainty is not acceptable if relevant and appropriate education services for people with learning difficulties are to be developed. Moreover, those working in education will have to work in partnership with learners and with other services to do this.
Person-centred planning for people with learning difficulties has been identified as one of the key areas of focus for the national programme of joint work between the Learning and Skills Council and the Valuing People Support Team. This report is based on the findings of a short project that examined the ways in which staff in post-16 education are engaging with person-centred planning. It is hoped that the report will support and inform the joint working between the national LSC and the Valuing People Support Team.
