What the workshop is about

In many parts of the world people with complex needs are at last gaining greater autonomy, participation and choice towards a self-directed life in the good company of others. This workshop will introduce the Transform and Empower approach to diversity, care and innovation with and for people with complex needs.

The Transform and Empower approach invites the
perspectives of people with complex needs, who have traditionally had the least voice, to set the tone for creative, strength-based solutions to a great life that is a safe life.

Who is it for?

This workshop is suited to practitioners, teachers, tutors, leaders, administrators, specialists and community builders.

Workshop style

The workshop will include presentations, stories, small group work, creative experiences, interactive activities, time for personal reflection and opportunities to share and network with others.

At this workshop you will be able to:

• Learn the value of CQL’s Personal Outcome Measures® tool for gathering information from people and their supporters as a basis for measuring quality outcomes in people’s lives.
  
• Discover how your organisation can facilitate quality enhancement for people through the use of this tool in combination with your own approaches.
• Experience Transform and Empower approaches to diversity work in groups, communities and organisations.

Personal Outcome Measures®

The Personal Outcome Measures® (POM), developed by Council on Quality and Leadership (CQL) cover specific,
universally valued needs. They provide a deeply thoughtful human-centred structure for gathering information directly from people, and by those who know and love them best. CQL’s listening and discovery tool provides an accurate measure for ensuring that people’s experience of their own life is the heartbeat of responsive supports and systems.
