Foundations of Person-Centred and Person-Led Approaches

Through real-life examples, practical guidance, and reflective insights, learners will understand how to support individuals in a way that promotes dignity, independence, identity, and wellbeing. The course highlights the shift from traditional care models to approaches that empower people to lead their own lives, make meaningful choices, and shape the support they receive.
