Supporting Individualised Living and Alternative Services
Learn new approaches in relation to creating, designing and progressing individualised services in Ireland today.
This course provides new material based on international best practice and quality which influence how services are delivered within the wider non-profit/human services setting.
This workshop is a must for key decision makers and Social Care professionals.
What will I learn at the Individualised Living Masterclass?
Delivered as a stand-alone segment of our popular BA (Hons) in Contemporary Disability Studies programme, this skills workshop will examine important areas, such as:
- The nature and characteristics of individualised service provision and the ethical issues associated with such services and supports within the wider policy context.
- Ways in which to plan for an individualised service using the principles of Social Role Valorisation and the Discovery Process.
- The concept of person centred planning, its relationship to individualised service design and the resources needed to support this initiative.
- Innovative and creative ways to promote and progress the delivery of individual and person centred service provision at an organisational level.
Participants will be asked to engage with cutting edge information and content and also partake in large/small group sessions during the day.
