Person Centred Values

Talbot Group Intellectual Disability Services are committed to working within a Person–Centred ethos, by ensuring that the client is always at the centre of the service and is fully involved in decisions affecting all aspects of his/her life. 

Throughout the service we are committed to promoting these Person-Centred Values:

• Individuality - Being recognised and valued for who you are and treated as a unique person with individual needs, hopes and aspirations.
• Rights - Being entitled, as human beings, to certain basic rights such as respect, freedom, equality and privacy.

• Privacy - Having the freedom to have time to yourself, to be alone if you wish, to have your own personal space and to have these things respected
• Dignity - Being valued and respected and treated in ways that uphold your rights and uniqueness as an individual
• Independence - Being in control of your own life, able to make your own choices and decisions and having the opportunity and required support to do this
• Respect - Being treated considerately, having your dignity acknowledged and your opinions and feelings valued and responded to
• Partnership - Working together to achieve a shared goal
• Equal Opportunities - Having access to the same life chances as other people and to the required supports necessary to achieve your goals
