This usually entails a series of visits focused on getting the person out and about to increase confidence, social skills and presence in their local community and to pursue goals and dreams. Usually, the work is carried out under the close clinical supervision of a practicing psychologist. PERSON CENTRED PLANNING A Person Centred Planning event would be carried out using the PATH or MAP process – majoring on dreams and goal setting leading to precise action planning. Facilitators would carry out the PATH or other person centred process. A large graphic will be one of the outcomes of the meetings this is a great visual record and a shared memory of the event. This will also inform the priorities for the later follow up inclusion facilitation work. Following the PATH event a ‘scoping report’ is created outlining what Inclusion Facilitation could offer and highlighting what dreams and goals the individual has. INCLUSION FACILITATION The PATH is also provides a good opportunity for the Facilitator to meet the focus person in a comfortable positive environment. Agreed visits from the Inclusion Facilitator are then carried out over a 3 month period. After this intensive input the Inclusion Facilitator will hand over to the existing family, carers and PA team to carry on where he or she has left off. This transition time is planned from the outset. An experienced psychologist needs to be there to support the facilitator at all times and will guide all work done by the inclusion facilitator. Is this just Support work? No! This is proactive engagement – doing whatever is required. This is not passively or reactively providing what is asked for – we are actively pursuing a good life for the individual. The work is built on careful research around a person’s interests and what opportunities exist locally There is community mapping There is work to tackle an individual’s own resistance and reluctance to engage more socially There is a need to engage with people in social settings that the individual attends to build bridges and connections – we are bridge builders You will need to build circles around a person There is a need to create the conditions in which friendships can flourish There is a need for direct psychological supervision and support throughout This work is short term and intense. The facilitator’s main aims will vary depending on the dreams and goals of the focus person. The basic aim of the inclusion facilitator is to better the focus person’s quality of life.

When starting a construction or renovation project, many property owners and developers in New South Wales find themselves confused about the roles of building consultants and architects. While both professionals contribute significantly to the success of a project, their responsibilities and areas of expertise differ. Understanding these differences can help you determine whether you need an architect, a building consultant, or both to ensure compliance, obtain approvals like a building certificate, and address regulations such as Fire Orders New South Wales. What Does an Architect Do? Architects specialize in the design and aesthetics of a building. They focus on: Conceptual Design & Planning – Creating blueprints and layouts that align with the client’s vision. Aesthetics & Functionality – Ensuring that the building is visually appealing and practical. Material Selection – Choosing sustainable and cost-effective materials for construction. Structural Coordination – Working alongside engineers and builders to integrate design with structural integrity. While architects play a crucial role in shaping a project, they typically do not handle compliance approvals, risk assessments, or regulatory requirements. What Does a Building Consultant Do? Building consultants, on the other hand, focus on regulatory compliance, safety, and project feasibility. Their key responsibilities include: Regulatory Compliance & Approvals – Assisting in obtaining development approvals, construction permits, and a building certificate to ensure legal compliance. Risk & Safety Assessments – Evaluating fire safety, structural stability, and potential project risks. Project Management & Coordination – Overseeing different aspects of the construction process to ensure smooth execution. Fire Safety & Compliance – Helping property owners address Fire Orders New South Wales, ensuring that buildings meet fire regulations and safety standards. A building consultant ensures that a project aligns with legal and safety requirements, reducing the risk of penalties or delays. Key Differences: Who Should You Hire? Aspect Architect Building Consultant Design & Aesthetics ✅ Yes ❌ No Regulatory Compliance ❌ No ✅ Yes Fire Safety & Risk Assessment ❌ No ✅ Yes Project Management ✅ Yes (Design Focused) ✅ Yes (Compliance & Construction Focused) Building Certificate & Approval Assistance ❌ No ✅ Yes If you need an expert to create a visually stunning and functional design, an architect is the right choice. However, if your priority is legal compliance, fire safety, or securing necessary approvals such as a building certificate, a building consultant is essential. Final Thoughts Both architects and building consultants play vital roles in construction projects, but their expertise lies in different areas. If your project in New South Wales requires compliance with Fire Orders New South Wales or obtaining a building certificate, a building consultant is indispensable. However, for aesthetic and structural design, an architect will bring your vision to life. In many cases, hiring both professionals ensures a seamless, compliant, and well-executed project.
