Professional Version
A person-centred care plan is a document that:
- Describes a person’s needs, preferences, and goals
- Explains how care should be delivered in a way that suits them
- Is created with the person, not just for them
It includes:
- How the person likes to communicate
- What support they need
- What they like and dislike
- Any sensory needs (e.g., noise, touch, light)
- Health needs and treatments
- Personal choices and routines
Key principle:
The person is at the centre of all decisions

What is a Care Plan?
A care plan is:
- A plan about me
- It helps people know how to support me
What is in My Care Plan?
- What I like
- What I don’t like
- How I communicate
- What helps me feel calm
- What support I need
Important
- I should be involved
- People should listen to me
Simple Message
👉 “Nothing about me, without me”
Short Definition (for posters / slides)
Person-Centred Care Plan:
A plan that puts the person first and explains how to support them in the way that works best for them.
Where to Add This in Your Module
I recommend placing it:
👉 Right at the start of your Easy Read Master Module (after the title)
So learners understand:
- What a care plan is
- Why everything else in the module matters
Optional Add-On (Very Strong for Training)
You could include a quick reflective question:
“Did the person help create this plan?”
If the answer is no → it’s not truly person-centred
