Unit 6 - Personalisation - LO4 - Review meetings Flashcards
What happens in a review meeting?
They check that the individual’s support and care plan is still right for them.
How is a review meeting carried out and what happens in it?
- The individual is put at the centre of the meeting
- Builds and shares information collaboratively
- Generates actions
Why is putting the individual at the centre of the meeting important?
It is essential for them to play a major role in the review process as only they know what does and does not work for them.
Why is building and sharing information collaboratively important?
Everyone involved in the individual’s care – the individual, carers, family and professionals – should share information regarding what is working and what is not.
This will provide as full a picture as possible.
Why is generating actions important?
If some areas are found not to be working then something must be done to rectify the issue. This should be in the form of an updated support plan documenting the next steps toward achieving the revised or new goals.
What are the purposes of review meetings?
- Meet changing needs
- Review the budget
- Ensure care relationships are effective
- Review the person-centred description
These are interrelated; if the needs of the individual change, then the budget will need reviewing and care relationships that were effective may suddenly become ineffective.
Who is the facilitator and what do they do?
The facilitator supports the person whose review it is and considers them to be at the centre of the meeting. They make sure that those at the meeting focus on the individual and their strengths.
- Invites contribution from the people at the meeting
- Helps the group compare and explore their different perspectives, enabling them to see the individual, and their relationship with them, in a different way
- Assists the group in agreeing a common direction, based on what they learn from their focus on the individual
- Checks with the individual that they are happy with the way the review is going
What questions does the facilitator ask?
- What are these person’s strengths and capabilities?
- What can we do to help this individual achieve their objectives?
- What is important now for this person?
- What is important for this person in the future?
- What is working/not working from this person’s perspective?
How is the individual made to feel comfortable during the meeting?
Giving them a choice over the people present at the meeting.
Both the timing and the location should be the choice of the individual whose review is taking place. It should be at a convenient, accessible place for all those who have been invited. The timing also should suit everyone.
What are the person-centred tools used during the meeting?
- MAPS (making action plans)
- PATH (planning alternative tomorrows with hope)
- Essential Lifestyle Planning
- Personal Futures Planning
What is MAPS (making actions plans)?
A planning tool that builds on a shared commitment to support the individual to move towards a more positive future.
MAPS has several stages and is drawn from the different areas of an individual’s life:
- What is their history?
- What are their dreams?
- What are their nightmares?
- What are their strengths, talents and capacities?
- What are their needs?
It should result in an action plan to set out who will do what and when, in order to meet their wishes and needs.
What is PATH (planning alternative tomorrows with hope)?
Aims to identify the individual’s hope/dreams/goals and what it would entail to move nearer to these. There are several stages to this tool:
- Create a picture of where they would like to be
- Identify the goals - focus on the year ahead
- First steps to meeting these goals
- Identify the people who will enroll to help reach dreams/goals
- Recognise ways of building strength
- Action plan for interim goals
- Longer term plan
What is Essential Lifestyle Planning?
Detailed planning to focus on an individual’s life now and how it could be changed to provide a more enhanced lifestyle. It recognises what is important to the individual and what support would be needed to achieve this. It uses these tools:
- Doughnut chart
- Relationship circle
- Communication chart
- Sorting importance to/for an individual
- Matching staff
- Learning log
- What’s working/what’s not
What is Personal Futures Planning?
Detailed plan developed for an individual with complex support needs. It starts with their current situation and focuses on changes for the future. It is an effective way of mapping how an individual may be included into a community, highlighting changes that may need to be made within the community to facilitate this inclusion.
