What is personalisation?
‘Personalisation means thinking about
public services and social care and
support in an entirely different way –
starting with the person rather than the
service. It requires the transformation of
adult social care’
in Control’s model of SDS version 4.0
Key features of personalised systems
• An identified up front allocation of
resources at the start of the process
• A support system that facilitates choice,
control and flexibility
• A focus on outcomes and a change in
culture and shift of power
Self directed support:
- ‘the system through which disabled
people can get the life and support
they want. It is an active process
rather than something people are
given’.
‘I direct my own support……’
‘ Self-directed support (SDS) allows people
to choose how their support is provided to
them by giving them as much control over
the individual budget spent on their
support. In other words, SDS is the
support a person purchases or arranges to
meet agreed health and social care
outcomes’
A direct payment:
‘A cash payment someone can get and
manage instead of having the services or
support arrranged or provided by Social
Work’
