| Annotation | Person-centred support means putting the person rather than the service at the centre of the process in providing services: the aim is for provision to be shaped by people's rights and needs. This research asks what person-centred support means to people who use, work with and manage services; what barriers exist to making services person-centred; and how the obstacles might be overcome. The report builds on new evidence from the national Standards We Expect Project (which was funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation - JRF), bringing together for the first time direct experiences in 20 areas of the UK from different service sectors and a wide range of service user groups. Some of the findings are drawn from a Get Together day attended by service users, practitioners and managers involved in the project, and confirming the participatory nature of the research. (RH). |
