Developing Outcomes and using The Support Sequence
Outcomes and the Support Sequence Helen Sanderson Associates have over a decade of experience in supporting people to co-design and write clear and meaningful person centred outcomes. This included writing guidance for the Department of Health, and the Department of Education related to planning and delivering outcomes and person-centred change. Over the last four years we have been putting this into practice through Wellbeing Teams.
How the Outcomes and Support Sequence will help people thrive:
An outcome describes what someone wants to change or achieve in their life. It does not describe how to do this. An outcome can address what’s not working or can move someone closer to their aspirations.
The sequence takes you through the steps you can take to develop an outcome that is personal, specific and measurable.
Outcomes and the Support Sequence (Just enough Support)
During this program participants will:
- Understand what person-centred information is required to develop and write effective person-centred outcomes, ways to prepare this information with the person and the people who know them best ensuring it is good quality.
- Be equipped with a robust step by step process to develop, write and check you have clear, person-centred outcomes that are measurable and move the person closer to a future they want.
- Learn how to use The Support Sequence, a seven-stage process to enable you to think creatively and explore different ways to deliver outcomes, ensuring the person can use their strengths and capacities and what’s available to them to work towards their outcomes.
- Be introduced to a range of resources, including checklists for practitioners and team leaders to check and review outcomes and the plans that have been developed
