How to get to outcomes
Person centred approaches– From child or young person’s point of view– Listening more than talking– Talking about aspirations– What’s working– What’s not working– What is important to them– What is important for them
It’s a balancing act
What is important to a child/young person is what they want to do, to lead a happy and fulfilled life
What is important for the child/young person is what they need to help them be healthy, happy and safe.
Important to
What the child or young person says in words or through their behaviours about what really matters to them.
Important for
The things that help the child or young person to learn, stay healthy and safe, whether it is important to them or not.
I really like to eat chocolate It is important for me to keep healthy
The outcomes sum:What is working/not working
Child or young person’s aspirations
Parents’ aspirations
What is important to them
What is important for them
What is reasonable but challenging to achieve in the next 2-3 years
What are the barriers to achieving this – need

Questions to think about:
What would success look like? How will you know when it has been achieved?
A useful starting point
So let’s have a go
Imagine you are working with these children/young people and their families to develop person centred outcomes
Take each ‘outcome’ and test it against the checklist
How could the outcomes be improved?
Discussion and any tips for going forward?
