Schools
Person Centred Thinking and Planning is being used in nurseries and schools and throughout the transition process.
We are currently working with 7 schools in 6 local authorities across England in partnership with VPST and IBK Initiatives to develop 'best practice'. We are also planning to involve more schools in the programme in the very near future.
Some of the areas that schools are exploring and developing
are:
- Person Centred Reviews with all children and young people
- Person Centred thinking with all children and young people
- 1 page profiles for all children and young people throughout the school
- Children and families making a contribution to the School Development Plan e.g. through whole school consultations and information gathered from young people through Person Centred Thinking Skills and Person Centred Reviews
- Children and families influencing school curriculum through whole school consultations and information gathered from young people through Person Centred Thinking Skills and Person Centred Reviews.
- Person Centred Planning being integral to school/transition policy and being the basis for personal budgets.
Our understanding of best practice to date is described in the book Person Centred Approaches in Schools. There is also a mini-book which outlines Person Centred Thinking skills and a minibook you can use in schools and nurseries.
You can read regular updates on the progress that some schools are making on our blogs page.
