difficulties. This course involves 3 x 1 day modules of lectures

people to come together and share ideas about one person’s capacity to enjoy a
good quality of life. The emphasis is on facilitating
an appreciation of the person, on sharing a
common dream of the future, on creative problem
solving and on harnessing natural supports. This
course is delivered in three one-day modules with
interim practical assignments.
Periodic Service Review
Periodic Service Review is both an instrument for assessing
the quality of a service and a system for maintaining quality
improvement over time. As an instrument, Periodic Service Review
is quick and comprehensive. As a system of self-management,
it is proactive and non-aversive, leading to practical
goal setting and improved morale among staff
teams. This course is a three-day course for staff
teams. Each staff team will design its own Periodic
Service Review, will implement self-defined
performance standards and will monitor progress
over the duration of the course.
