Person Centred Planning
‘Person centred’ means doing things in a way that the person wants and which helps them to be part of their community. If someone is in the centre of something, they are the most important person.

Equal Rights
Everyone has had good and bad experiences
Some people have had more bad life experiences than others.
This is not good enough.
![Page 8: Women in Probation What we do in the Skillnet Group Supporting Change Together The Skillnet Group Limited Registered Office: 2nd Floor, Maybrook House,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070409/56649e845503460f94b85b0d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How people can be treated differently?
People make fun of you People only see the disability not the
person
People can ignore you People don’t treat you equally in
shops, on public transport and at other times.

What we want is…
To be treated equally and fairly To be treated as an individual with
our own personal space To choose where we live, who we live
with and what we do To have people listen to us and take
us seriously To be given a chance to prove
ourselves
![Page 11: Women in Probation What we do in the Skillnet Group Supporting Change Together The Skillnet Group Limited Registered Office: 2nd Floor, Maybrook House,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070409/56649e845503460f94b85b0d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
We do not want?
To be bullied or treated differently.
Other people to make decisions for us because they think they know best.
To be treated as all the same just because we have learning difficulties. We are all individuals and have different needs.
