Care planning in adult services
Learning Objectives
After considering this resource, you should understand the framework for care planning.
Assessing and creating a care plan presents a vital arena in which to ensure the service user not only receives the services they require to meet their needs, but that they are at the heart of the process.
Although care planning may differ from agency to agency and region to region, the following quick guide, created by Victoria Hart, a social worker, presents a flowchart to map the general framework.
Reflective Questions
- How does supported self-assessment promote principles of user self-determination and partnership working?
- What external factors may ultimately influence the package a service user is provided with?
- How should care planning promote equality?
