Person-centred Risk
Person-centred risk management is the recognition that people in receipt of support are entitled to take risks to get the life that they want: to take advantage of opportunities even if they come with risk.
This course is divided into a number of sections that focus on the purpose, people, process and progress of your meetings. There is also a section on how to put the person-centred approach to risk into practice – to help you start changing the risk assessments that you are involved in.
£24.50Personalising Care and Support Planning
The course shows you how to work with people in a person-centred way to facilitate personalised care and support planning. It also shows you how to enable people in receipt of care and support services to become active participants in planning their own care.

In busy schools, it is often difficult to release staff for training; this e-learning package enables SENCOs to learn at their own pace and at the times that suit them best. It gives an opportunity to revisit the tools and to explore how they can be applied. With a mix of film, audio and text, it is an engaging way to learn about this approach and shares practical tools to use in schools.

Strategies and Tools for Managing Change in Health, Social Care and the Voluntary Sector. By Stephen Stirk and Helen Sanderson
Person-centred thinking and planning are approaches that give people using social care and health services the freedom to plan their future, with a personal budget and the right to commission personalised services.

Key issues covered include attending to the vision, strategy and business planning of the organisation, as well as organisational processes, culture and managing changes. Drawing on the pioneering work of major social care charity United Response, the authors provide a wealth of practical tools and techniques to enable organisations within health, social care and the third sector to use person-centred thinking tools and approaches to move towards becoming person-centred organisations.
This is an essential guide for managers and leaders within private, statutory and voluntary organisations.
