Who I am - Adult Social Care training and development

please see training calendar

Course Aim

Assessments and Support Plans can sometimes feel like administrative form-filling. This course aims to bring the forms to life by placing the human being we’re working with at the front and centre. Using a strengths-based approach we’ll show you how to capture the spirit and essence of the service user. By constructing informative pen portraits we can gain real insights into the person – and then be able to support them in a more personalised way. Capturing their life experiences and discovering their stories could throw up some fascinating things!

Course Outcomes

• The importance of life experiences in order to best understand service users;
• Skills to structure pen portraits;
• How to best write these in a clear, concise and human way; and
• How pen portraits support our strengths-based approach.
