Person Centred Planning (PCP)

Sub Committee Update4th February 2011

PCP Sub Committee• the group is co Chaired by Vivienne Lester and Philip Atkinson

• we meet 4 times a year

• it is a chance for people to talk about their experiences of PCP

• providers are invited to attend to tell us about how they are working towards PCP

Training • We have trained - 175 people on PCP Awareness - 70 people on PCP Facilitation

• This includes people from - London Borough of Bromley (LBB) - the Primary Care Trust (PCT) - schools - private providers (e.g. Sanctuary, Avenues) - voluntary organisations - family members

- and people with a learning difficulty

• we are supporting the facilitators to develop PCPs and action plans to make sure things happen

• the training has been updated to include information on support planning

Outcomes • We are collecting monthly outcomes from facilitators. From this we are hoping to find out

- what people want from the future

- what is working well

- what is not working so well

• It is planned that this information will be used to shape future services

• Facilitators need to get better at returning outcome information so that this can happen

Education• We have been working with Marjorie McClure and Riverside School to support them to do PCP

• We have been finding out how PCP fits in the new Learning for Living and Work Framework – a new process designed to support people after school, based on long term goals

• BBA is attending a Transition Event at Nash College to share information around PCP on the 5th March 2011

People moving from NHS Housing• Everyone who is moving from NHS Housing has a PCP

• All of those that have moved are working with new providers

• The PCP Facilitator has worked with the individual and support staff to develop action plans for those that have already moved

•The PCP Facilitator also attends transition meetings

Circles of Support• The Circles of Support group has changed its name to Circles Network. This is so they do not get confused with individual circles of support.

• The group are also working on a film which shows the benefits of having a circle of support when making a PCP

Support Planning • we have been building on the work that BBA has been doing on PCP and have been thinking about how we can develop PCP into Support Plans

• we have developed pilot Support Plans for people living in two schemes in Bromley

• a Support Plan is a PCP with an amount of money attached to it

• Support Plans give people more choice over the support they receive to meet their needs

Planning for the future • there are difficult times ahead as budgets for services are being cut

• but it is important to continue working in a person centred way when services are delivered differently
