Personalisation
* Please note this page is under construction. We will continue to add and review the content based on feedback, so please continue to visit the page to see further developments to support your learning*
This page is dedicated to personalisation, this can have many terms such as person centredness, person focussed, whole person approach. However this is about people being at the heart of what we do and how we do it.
One of the greatest gifts we have is the power of choice

You can document this as part of your record of learning and use within your supervision and development discussions.
- What does this make you think about? - How do you feel after watching/listening/reading this? - Why do you think this has provoked these thoughts and feelings? - What has this reaffirmed for you about how you work? - What does this mean in relation to how you work right now? - Is there anything you want to change about how you work now? - If you want to change something, what do you need to do now? - Is there anything else that is emerging for you from your learning right now? |
