Understand the theory and principles that underpin person centred practice
1.1 EXPLAIN PERSON CENTRED PRACTICE
Person-centered practice is a way of developing a set of guidelines to help support an individual person who has learning disabilities, mental health issues or requires support in other areas of their lives. It looks at the person as a whole individual and focuses on all aspects of their life & it promotes independence rather than control & encourages the person to make their own decisions for their own lives.
Some examples of person centered practice are:
A person's ideas are listened to and acted upon.
Individuals have choices and are able to make decisions in planning the support they wish to receive & can also be involved with the recruitment of the staff that are employed to help them.
Regularly look at the individuals support to see what is working and not working.
Staff are aware of their roles and responsibilities in supporting the individual
Staff are matched with people based on skills and common interests.
1.2 CRITICALLY REVIEW APPROACHES TO PERSON CENTRED PRACTICE
Person centered support is about putting the individual person at the centre of the care service, and not just giving the exact same support and services to everyone. It is about delivering meaningful goals & objectives to every individual and helping people to live their lives to the optimum of their capabilities. Person centered care requires careful planning, which involves working with the people who use the services to help them identify and achieve the things they want to do. Delivered well, person centered care increases interest and motivation and creates the enthusiasm needed to support people to lead a more fulfilling life. If individuals are involved in making the decisions about their own lives & support required, they will be more likely to achieve the goals they wish to reach.
