Background – What is a person-led approach?

A person-led approach supports the individual to manage their own care and is treated as a person first. It is about the person and what they are capable of doing, not about their disability or condition. The support should be tailored to the individual's unique circumstances and aspirations. An individual-led approach:

1. - Supports the person at the 'center of the service' to make decisions about their own life
2. - Each person's life experiences, age, gender and culture are taken into consideration.
3. - Needs flexible support and services to meet the individual's needs and priorities
4. - Strengths-based: where people are recognized as experts in their lives with a focus first on what they can do and then any help they may need.
5. - Include the support networks of the person as partners.
6. - Person-led approaches should help and empower individuals to take control of their lives.
