Person Centred Reviews in Adult Services

Format: 209 x 295 mm, 56 pages, Perfect bound paperback. By Gill Bailey, Helen Sanderson, Charlotte Sweeney and Belinda Heaney

Person-centred reviews were developed to transform the Year 9 transition in schools. As the Valuing People Support Team’s national training programme was rolled out, people quickly realised that this person-centred approach to reviews could be equally powerful within adult services.

This report demonstrates that:

• Person-centred reviews can be lead to changes for individuals and services, and meet statutory requirements.
• Person-centred reviews can replace existing statutory reviews, as they generally take the same amount of time and involve the same people.
• Information from person-centred reviews can provide important information to contribute to strategic commissioning.
• The people using services who were part of the study preferred person-centred reviews to traditional reviews.
