SCIE Report 20: Personalisation: a rough guide
By Sarah Carr
Published: October 2008
This guide aims to tell the story so far about the personalisation of adult social care services. It is intended to set out our current understanding of personalisation at a very early stage of implementation, exploring what personalisation is, where the idea came from and placing the transformation of adult social care in the wider public service reform agenda.
Key points
The report contains the following key messages and recommendations:
- By identifying and transferring knowledge about good practice, SCIE has a special role to play in transforming adult social care services.
- Person-centred planning and self-directed support will need to become mainstream
- It will ultimately mean universal services such as transport, housing and education are accessible to all citizens.
- The personalised system will need to be cost-effective and sustainable in the long term.
- Approaches to early intervention and prevention need to develop further so that people are encouraged to stay healthy and independent.
- The social care workforce will need to acquire new skills.
Context
SCIE is a signatory to the Putting People First concordat which set out the shared commitment to finding new ways to improve adult social care in England. Personalisation means thinking about public services and social care in an entirely different way – starting with the person and their individual circumstances rather than the service. It will mean the transformation of adult social care.
Purpose
By identifying and transferring knowledge
about good practice, SCIE is playing a full part
in transforming social care services for adults.
This guide aims to tell the story so far about
the personalisation of adult social care services.
Audience
This guide is aimed at frontline practitioners and first-line managers in statutory and independent sector social care services, although it is an indispensable summary for all those interested in this important area.
