Person-centred practice is made up of a group of approaches, which are made to assist someone, to plan their life and the support that they want and require.
Person-centred practice ensures that the individual concerned is at the heart of any decision making. This practice is more likely to be used when an individual has disabilities, or requires long term care and person-centred practice can help the service user to maintain and improve a level of independence, while receiving the best possible level of care.

The social model has a lot of up to date legislation and policy underpinning it. A manager needs to be aware of all current legislations and policies, and how they affect the care setting.
The Health foundation (2012) has reported that the `No decision about me, without me’, white paper, caused a great change in culture and practice in care settings. Law and policy have come together to make this happen.
