| Annotation | The Older Family Carers Initiative (OFCI) was a three year project (2002-2005) designed to support Learning Disability Partnership Boards across England to identify and meet the needs of older family carers of people with learning disabilities. This resource has been written as part of the Initiative in direct response to the concerns raised by person-centred planning facilitators and coordinators. It is intended for people who are already informed about person-centred planning approaches and want to make sure they are planning with older families in the best possible way. It is intended as a tool to be used primarily by people whose role it is to: plan directly with older families; and coordinate person-centred planning on behalf of their Learning Disability Partnership Board. It covers three distinct areas: understanding and reflecting on what is different about person-centred planning with older families; using different person-centred approaches and tools with older families; and key strategic and practical implications for person-centred planning facilitators and coordinators that need to be addressed locally.
