This paper is concerned with an evaluation of a training programme in Person Centred Planning (PCP). It begins by briefly outlining the principles and practice of PCP and describes a consortium set up to provide training in PCP. The findings of an evaluation of the training programme are then presented. Person Centred Planning is relatively new to this country and the training programme was an innovative one. It is important that its activities are more widely reported, and its strengths and weaknesses identified, in order to inform similar future initiatives. Finally, the paper identifies some issues of relevance to other training programs in the social care field.
