Essential Lifestyle Planning - Train the Trainers

As Partnership Boards and service providers develop frameworks for the implementation of person centred planning and develop their breath and depth strategy for training, as outlined in the Guidance, organisations may wish to develop their local training capacity. This course will enable participants to deliver both 'breadth and depth training'. The depth training will be in Essential Lifestyle

Planning and participants will become accredited Essential Lifestyle Planning trainers. The breadth training - person centred thinking skills - will be captured within the programme and participants will also be accredited person centred thinking trainers. The training will take place within your organisation and will be provided by experienced and accredited mentor trainers.
Accreditation as person centred thinking skills trainers is another option. This programme is accredited by the international organisation 'The Learning Community for Person Centred Practices' led by Michael Smull.
