4. Personalisation
‘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. It requires a significant transformation of adult social care so that all systems, processes, staff and services are geared upto put people first’. Carr (2010:3)

5. Personalisation means:
Tailoring support to people’s individual needs
Ensuring that people have access to information, advocacy and advice to make informed decisions about their care and support

6. Department of Health (DH) makes it clear that:
‘Importantly, the ability to make choices about how people live their lives should not be restricted to those who live in their own homes. It is about better support, more tailored to individual choices and preferences in all care settings’
(DH, 2008).

7. It also means……………
Embedding early intervention, re-ablement and prevention so that people are supported early on and in a way that’s right for them
Recognising and supporting carers in their role, while enabling them to maintain a life beyond their caring responsibilities
Ensuring all citizens have access to universal community services and resources – a total system response.
