1.1 Explain the value of a child centred
model of assessment and planning
There is
value in knowing how a child centered model can focus in on an individual
person, their unique set of situational circumstances and how it enables
tailored support and specific sourcing of external service providers to
happen. A child centered model promotes a child's right to choice, communication
and to express themselves. Where children are actively encouraged to take
the lead this model would hope to see them flourish creatively as they explore
possibilities, make connections they feel are relevant to them and formalise
decisions that affect their lives in a positive way. As with A Gibbs reflective
cycle assessment is part of a planning cycle
