Why Person Centred Approaches are important |
We know that recently there have been two national reports into abuse of people with learning disabilities (Cornwall Partnership NHS Trust and Sutton & Merton Primary Care Trust) .Both these reports said that if people had person centred plans and the service was provided in a person centred way many of the examples of abuse and poor standards of care would not have happened. Person Centred Approaches are very important. One of the most important things is to listen to the person with a learning disability. Person Centred Approaches will help us change the way services are provided and will empower people with learning disabilities to make decisions and changes in their lives. |

What is Self Directed Support? |
This group also looks at the work being done on Direct Payments and Personal/Individual Budgets (those are types of self-directed support) for People with learning Disabilities in Brighton and Hove. This page includes information on Self Directed Support. There is an information pack for parents, carers and supporters to help someone they know get an individual budget. The pack gives information on all the steps from being 'eligible' for an Individual Budget, through to support planning and reviewing and monitoring. There are also some good examples of how people have used their budget and there are newsletters on what's happening locally. Click here to see a presentation about Self Directed Support in Brighton & Hove that was given to the Learning Disabilities Providers' Forum in April of 2009. |

“Supporting Me” guides for Personal Assistants (PAs) |
There are two copies of each guide. One is a PDF colour copy , with photos and drawings. The other is a text only version of the guide (a word document), with no photos or drawings. This can be emailed and printed out easily on a home computer. It can be altered by an individual employer so that it is personal and tailored to them. Their photos can be added to it. (these are large files and will take some time to download).

A Person Centred Holiday Story: |
As the holiday season is fast approaching, we thought it was a good time to share our ‘holiday booklet’ with everyone. We are David Fitzgerald and Lesley Hamilton, along with Mary Oliver - Direct Payments Advisor and Graham Lee at ‘Interact’. We wanted to show others how it was possible to have a ‘person centered’ holiday - instead of it being packaged for you. Our ‘holiday booklet’ tells our story of how we planned and paid for our holiday; including ‘risk assessments’, staff support, transport and budgeting. We tell you what we got up to, how we made our choices, had control over what we did and finally we reflect on how it all went. We hope you find it interesting and it gives you ideas as to what can happen when plans are ’self directed’. We hope it shows you can have ‘choice’ and ‘control’ and you can get support to make things happen the way you want. For more information please contact us via Graham at ‘Interact’ (01273 422971) or Mary at the Federation of Disabled People (01273 229264). |

Lunch Time Learning Sessions |
These free interactive lunchtime sessions are facilitated by people with considerable knowledge and expertise of person centred approaches and planning. The sessions have been arranged in conjunction with the Person Centred Approaches Sub Group of the Learning Disability Partnership Board. They are a fantastic opportunity to think about person centred approaches in more depth; to share and hear some great ideas; and to meet other people involved in making person centred approaches a reality. Who should undertake this training? All workshops run from 12:00 - 2:30 and include lunch.
9th November 2011: Effective Job Coaching This interactive session is led by experienced job coaches from the Council’s Supported Employment Team. Participants will explore what it means to job coach, how that differs from supporting people in other environments, and how this applies to the clients they currently support. If you would like to attend please complete and return the attached form (council staff use ‘internal’ all others use ‘external’).
Please confirm your attendance or names of other attendees by contacting coursesforcare@brighton-hove.gov.uk You can also telephone 01273 296184 for further information |
