Person centred planning is a process for continual listening and learning, focusing on what is important to someone now and in the future, and acting upon this in alliance with their family and friends.

People with learning disabilities should have the same opportunities as everyone else. We want you to be in charge of your own life. We want you to be as independent as you can.

We believe that you should be at the centre of planning your life. We will listen to and learn about what you want from your life and turn this into your Essential Lifestyle Plan which will help you;

• To think about what you want now and in the future
• Help you make important decisions about your life
• Make sure your family, friends and professionals are working together with you to make this happen

You decide how you want your meeting to be held and who you want there to help you with your plan. Our aim is to support people to achieve the outcomes you have identified in your Essential Lifestyle Plans.
