From a personal perspective, having had a person centred plan done for my
daughter aged 16 with learning difficulties, I have run into a potential
problem as Social Servies tried to say that a person centred plan was the
same as having an Social Work assessment done (ie the PC plan, which had
been done by another agency, saved SS the bother/cost of doing a needs led
asssessment and then putting in some services.)
However in principle Im all for PCP, if SS are made aware of what it is,
what it is not, and learn ways of performing it/facilitating it as
appropriate, them selves!

Subject: Person-centred planning
Hello,
I'm very glad to find this site, so that I could look at many different
opinions. I'm interested in a disability identity and in emergence of
a 'person' (as French, Corker, Shakespeare's works show), in relation to
its implication on social work. Recent the government's policy for services
for people with learning disabilities brought the person-centred planning.
I wonder any one can help me find out the origin of the concept of 'person-
centred'. Although I know the PCP has the principle of normalisation, I
want to know its origin, as the term is also used in C. Rogers' counselling
and in dementia (personhood). However, I didn't any explanation about its
defferences and a common ground. Also I would like to hear any of your
opinion, critics about the governmental policy regarding learning
disabilities (Valuing People and the person-centred approach).
Thanks,
Reena
