Frontline Episode 1: Person-centred support

About this episode

The episode discusses transforming the concept of person-centred support into a meaningful practice for support workers and service providers.

Welcome to the very first episode of Frontline! The podcast for support workers and service providers wanting to level up the quality of support they provide and be guided by people with disability about how to do it. This episode is all about resetting the dial on the term ‘person-centred support.’ Cause if those words are currently enough to make your eyes glaze over- then babe, you’re not alone. Turns out when a phrase gets used a trillion times a day, it starts to lose all meaning. Who knew? But today, we’re all about transforming person-centred support from jargonful to meaningful. As Sara chats to people with disability about how providers and support workers can create services to support the person, rather than trying to fit the person into the system.
