Look for opportunities to increase control
Choice shouldn't only happen when staff remember to offer it.
Look at how everyday support is organised.
Who decides:
- When the person gets up?
- When they eat?
- When they go out?
- What happens at weekends?
- How their money is spent?
- Who enters their room?
- What activities are available?
- How their home is organised?
Sometimes increasing choice means changing the environment or the way the service operates.
