What Is Choice and Control?
Choice and Control refers to a person’s ability to make decisions about their own life, support arrangements and daily routines. It focuses on independence, dignity and having a voice in how services are delivered.
At Angels on Wheels, Choice and Control is central to how we provide support.
Understanding Choice and Control
This principle ensures that individuals are actively involved in decisions that affect them. It encourages participation in planning, setting goals and shaping daily routines according to personal preferences.
What Choice and Control Can Include
Support that promotes Choice and Control may involve:
- Selecting preferred support staff
- Deciding daily schedules and routines
- Setting personal development goals
- Choosing community activities
- Being involved in planning and reviews
Why Choice and Control Matters
Having control over decisions builds confidence and strengthens independence. When individuals are empowered to guide their own support, outcomes are more meaningful and sustainable.
