My Life My Way
How to make a Personal Plan
September
2019
This guide is about making your
own Personal Plan
We will show you how you can
make this plan
There are two parts to a plan
• The first part is what results
you want to achieve. We call
this your outcomes
• The second part is how you
are going make this happen –
we call this your actions
My Action
Plan
1. Thinking about what you want to do
Think about your life
• your family and friends
• what you like to do
• what is working well
• what is not working well
Think about
• what you want to do at home
• what skills you want to learn
• what work or volunteering
you would like to do
• do you want to make new
friends
Click on the blue words to find
tools to help you write what you
want to do
• working / not working
You can use this to write
down what is going well and
what is not going well
• good day / bad day
You can use this to write
down what things make a
good day and a bad day for
you
2. Writing down what you want to do
• Perfect week
Think about your perfect week. What are the
important places and people you like to see? What
are the important things you like to do?
This is what a perfect week could look like for someone
• Download your own Perfect week tool
The tools in this section were provided by Helen Sanderson Associates
3. Thinking about other people who can help
you with your plan
Write down who are the
important people in your life
• your family
• staff at school or at college
• people who are paid to
support you
• friends and other people
who support you
You can use this relationship circle tool to help you
Decide which people you
want to meet with to talk
about your plan
Decide when you will have
your meeting
Decide where you will have
your meeting
Think about any professionals
– like care workers, teachers
or health workers – who help
you.
If they are not coming to your
meeting you can ask them to
send you up to date reports.
4. Thinking about who to invite to a meeting
Decide who you would like to
lead your meeting
This could be you or someone in
your relationship circle
Decide how you will record what
happens at the meeting
• someone could write down
what people say
• someone could record what
people say
• someone could film what
people say
5. Planning your meeting
You will need to ask everyone
who is going to be at the
meeting if they are happy to be
filmed or recorded
You will need to write to
everyone to invite them to your
meeting.
You could send them a letter
Or you could send them an
On the next page is an example
of the kind of letter you could
write
Dear ……….
Please come to my planning meeting on (DATE) at
(TIME). This will be at (PLACE).
People at the meeting will include my family, friends and
other adults who know me.
At the meeting we will write about and talk about
• What you like and admire about me
• What is important for me and my future
• What is working and what’s not working now
• My support – what’s in place and what needs to be put
in place for me?
We will also talk about my progress and make an Action
Plan for my future.
All these things will make my Personal Plan.
Please let me know if you can come.
Yours sincerely
Your address
Your telephone number
Have lots of paper so you
can write things down or
draw pictures
Or you could use an iPad or a
laptop
Make sure you have all the
preparation tools you have
used to think about what you
want to do
6. What to have at the meeting
The leader will ask everyone to
say who they are
The leader will tell everyone
what is going to happen at the
meeting – this is called an
agenda
Everyone at the meeting will
then look at your preparation
tools and talk with you about the
outcomes you want
7. What will happen at the meeting
8. Writing an action plan
When you have all finished
talking about the things you want
to do it is time to think about how
you will do them
Actions are the things that you
and other people need to do to
achieve your outcomes
For every action the plan needs
to show
• who is going to do it
• when they are going to do it
Your action plan can include
things you do which are working
well now
You can also write down the new
things you will try to achieve
your outcomes
Show the ways you can do more
of the things that make a good
day
Show the things you can do to
stop a day being a bad day
You can make another meeting if
you need more time to write your
action plan
8. When you have written your action plan
Your outcomes and actions
are your Personal Plan
Make sure that everyone at the
meeting knows when you will
review your plan
Now you can make it happen
9. Reviews
This is when you look at your
plan to see
• what is working well and what
is not working well
• what you have tried and what
you have learned
And talk about
• anything that has changed in
your life – like your home or
job or your health
• any new outcomes or actions
you want
You could review your plan with
the person who was the leader
at your planning meeting
Or you could invite everyone to
another meeting
At the end of the review you will
agree any changes you want to
make
You will now have a new
Personal Plan
