What happens when you come to us?
Here are some things you can expect if you come to an Aspect school or service.
We believe your needs come first
Aspect knows that every person is important and deserves a chance to take part in their community. This is called having a valued role.
We believe your needs come first. When we think about our services, we are thinking about your needs. This is called a Person Centred Approach.
We will give you information about what to expect about our services
When you agree to use an Aspect service or go to an Aspect school we will give you information like a handbook and a service agreement or enrolment contract. You can also find lots of information on this website. This will tell you what you can expect from us and what we need you to do to make sure you have a good experience.
We can help you with making decisions and choosing what you want
We believe that
- You have the right to make decisions about the things that affect you.
- You can make your own decisions.
- Sometimes you might need help to make your own decisions.
- How much help you need depends on what you are making a decision about.
- You have a right to try new and different things.
- It is OK if you change your mind about what you have decided to do.
- It is OK for you to choose to do something that other people don’t like or think you should not do. It is your choice.
