In this article, the fifth in a series by the Hampshire person-centred planning team, Gwen Moulster and colleagues explore how person-centred planning with people who have profound and multiple disabilities could contribute to imaginative staff selection processes

In many services, recruitment decisions have been made with no service user or advocacy involvement, and very little family input. This is particularly true of services that support people with complex communication needs. Because person-centred planning (PCP) can make it easier to identify users’ preferences, it can also provide useful information when recruiting and selecting staff.
