As government policy initiatives for those with learning disabilities focus on individualised planning and client involvement, this timely book provides a reflective analysis of person centred planning. Drawing on the contributors' practical experience and research findings, the book will explore policy and practice issues of person centred planning, including:· advocacy for service users· risk management· inter-agency and inter-professional working· exploitation and abuse· de-institutionalisation.With best practice case studies to illustrate person centred planning in action and inclusion of the views of service users, the contributors give a comprehensive picture of practice in this area. Written in a clear and practical manner, with learning and practice points throughout the book, it will provide a invaluable guide for policy makers, social workers, carers, students, academics and managers.
