Person-centred thinking tools
Person-centred thinking tools help people to think and plan for their life.
What are person-centred thinking tools?
Person-centred thinking tools are a set of easy to use templates that are used to give structure to conversations. Using them is a practical way to capture information that feeds into care and support planning, as well as to improve understanding, communication and relationships.
