Course Description
Managing the Individualised Service – HEA Free module – Sept 2021 -CLOSED FOR APPLICATIONS
Open Training College
Managing the Individualised Service
The aim of this module is to equip participants with the skills and knowledge needed to evaluate the design and delivery of the individualised service and to review their own organisation in respect to its effectiveness in delivering and progressing the individualised service. The student will also explore a number of models of service provision based on individualised funding.
On completion of this module participants will be able to:
1. Explain the concept of the individualised service.
2. Describe the elements of designing an individualised service with specific reference to service quality and person-centredness.
3. Illustrate the role of the manager in the design, planning, implementation and monitoring of an individualised service.
4. Give examples of a number of models of individualised funding, with a focus on the role of transitional funding.
5. Promote the values and objectives of individualised services to a wider audience.
The module is particularly relevant at present to people who work in or seek to work in services for people with disability/autism and services for older people. The need to re-configure services for these population groups in the light of Covid-19 restrictions has mandated the development of support/services designed around the needs of the individual using all of the community and family resources. This module will enable participants to undertake this task and equip them with the skills needed to do so.
