Supporting people Towards a person-centred approach
“Supporting people is quite simply one of the best books I’ve read on ‘social care’. It is without doubt an essential read for everyone involved in the delivery and receipt of services and support.” Colin Barnes. Professor of Disability Studies, School of Sociology and Social Policy, University of Leeds
There is widespread agreement that care and support services must change radically if they are to meet the rights and needs of the rapidly growing number of people who require them.For the first time, Supporting people explores with service users, practitioners, carers and managers what person-centred support means to them, what barriers stand in its way and how these can be overcome.
