The person centred support training resource was developed in partnership with The Tizard Centre at the University of Kent.

The videos provide real-life examples – accompanied by expert commentary – that highlight the subtleties of these techniques in action, and explains how to implement them in a way that maximises participation and choices for people with disabilities.

We use the resource as part of our team resources for colleagues and support staff. The visual and natural presentation is so much easier for people to understand!

Beena Patrulei, Community Team for People with Learning Disabilities

This resource consists of 12 videos which illustrate the most effective methods of delivering person centred support. It is further enhanced by a suite of best practice booklets that provide the theoretical background to the approaches demonstrated within the videos.

The videos feature a number of people supported by United Response and illustrates how using person centred active support can promote social inclusion, independence and control for people with a range of complex and profound disabilities.

This is an invaluable resource for professionals across the sector providing an opportunity to learn the latest best practice insights from industry-leading experts.
