AnnotationThe book is about person centred thinking to enable older people to have much greater control and say over what they need and want, in order to be full and active citizens. It summarises what is being learnt about self-directed support and older people, and introduces each of the person centred thinking tools. These are: appreciations; relationships; what is important to and for people; communication; histories; wishing; good days and bad days; and working or not working. The book explores how these tools provide the foundation for support planning. The pack provides real life examples for using these person centred thinking tools. The materials on learning centred thinking were developed by the Learning Community for Person Centred Practices and are used with permission. The book was supported by the Care Services Improvement Partnership (CSIP) and In Control. (RH).
