Personal Life Plan

Definition : Personal Life Plans (PLP) can be called person centred plans (PCPs). PLP/PCP is a process for continual listening and learning, focused on what is important to someone now and for the future, and acting upon this in alliance with family and friends.

This listening and learning is used to understand a person's capacities and choices. PLP/PCP is a basis for problem solving and negotiation to mobilise the resources necessary to pursue the person's aspirations. These resources may be obtained from a person's personal network, from service agencies or from a range of non-specialist and non-service sources.

PLP/PCP are not - (1) The same as assessment and care planning (2) the same as reviews of service provision (3) a replacement for some other necessary forms of planning

Purpose : “The same as you?“ recommended that every person who wants one should have a personal life plan. This item will help to assess the extent to which this recommendation is being implemented both locally and nationally.
