Description

A person-centred approach is where the person is placed at the centre of the service rather than their condition or disability. Support should focus on achieving the person's aspirations and be tailored to their needs and unique circumstances. Person-centred care, person-centred therapy and person-centred practices are commonly used in the health care context.

Working paper

Towards a measurement framework for people‑centred justice systems


Effective and people-centred justice systems function both as public services for people and as enabling systems for economic growth and good governance.

This working paper proposes a measurement framework for people-centred justice systems to address these gaps.
