Person Centred Planning

Person Centred Planning (PCP) was first developed in the United States during the 1980's and is now a well established approach within the UK.  

PCP refers to planning which puts the individual at the centre of the process. It involves planning with the person, not for them.

A key feature of PCP is that it builds on the values of inclusion and looks at what support a person needs to be included and involved in their community.
