LDPB Ashford Partnership Group, Home - Person Centered Planning

Ashford District Partnership Group meeting 19th January 2007

32 People attended the meeting, which included a number of organisations. They were from Ashford Day Centre, Saturn Nightclub, Dave from the Ashford Volunteer Centre, Connect Club, Shaw Trust, Adult Learning Disability Team, Health Service, Parents, Carers and people who have a learning disability and Voice 4 Kent.

We all did a person centered plan and Joy made all of us talk about our plans in a circle. Some were funny some were serious and some were exciting.
People talked about exotic places they would like to visit such as New Zealand, America, Hong Kong and some people wanted to go around the world.
The meeting was great fun with everybody taking part.

Person Centred Planning
Do you:
Have the freedom to choose what you do?
Have control over your life?
Have an ordinary life using ordinary services?
Have real choice?
Have people who help you turn your wishes into possibilities?
Get the services that you want?
