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)
