INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT PLANS POLICY AND PROCEDURES
POLICY STATEMENT
Each person supported by Community Living Windsor shall have an Individual Support Plan and planning meetings will be set up a minimum of once per year involving the person, their family, support staff and those people the person wants to help plan for their future. It is important that employees collaborate with and value the wishes of the people we support and others who are significant to them. If the person is a child and the Children's Aid Society is involved, a representative of the Children's Aid Society is to be invited to planning meetings. Such plans are to be developed based upon the needs, wishes and choices of the person.
