People Planning Commissioners and Providers
This section of the website is about work that is happening to make sure that the people who:
  • run services for people with learning disabilities (service providers)
  • pay for services for people with learning disabilities (commissioners)
do what they can to make services more person centred. We are part of a project called 'Person Centred Partnerships'. This brings together disabled people, supporters and their families and service providers and commissioners. Together, they are working out how to make person centred planning lead to better lives for lots of people. This page has information that service providers and commissioners can use to see how they are doing. It also has information from the 'Person Centred Partnerships' programme.
