Background……..

……and people with influence e.g. ……. Scottish Recovery Network

…and a series of publications e.g…… The Same as You? A review of services for people with learning disabilities (2000) Changing Lives – Report of the 21 st Century Review of Social Work (2006) Values into Practice Framework for Local Area Coordination (SCLD, 2010)

…and some definitions…. Personalisation: ‘It enables the individual alone, or in groups to find the right solution for them and to participate in the delivery of a service. From being a recipient of services, citizens can become actively involved in selecting and shaping the services they receive’ (Changing Lives, Personalisation: A shared understanding) ‘Personalisation means thinking about care and support services in an entirely different way. This means starting with the person as an individual with strengths, preferences and aspirations and putting them at the centre of the process of identifying their needs and making choices about how and when they are supported to live their lives’ (SCIE, Personalisation briefing)

Up to date - the straightforward policy and practice environment? The 3 Ps Person centred Personalisation Personal outcomes approach Asset mapping Strengths based approach Self-directed support Co-production Community capacity building Reablement Recovery Rights based practice, etc etc
