Personalisation Briefing for Families

 

The Social Care Institute for Excellence has published a briefing for families (“carers”). The guide says that “personalisation for carers” means: Tailoring support to people’s individual needs and being part of the discussion about support for yourself and support for the person you are looking after. 

Not having to take on all the responsibility and all the managing of care and support – the local authority should ensure that you are sufficiently supported. Recognising and supporting carers in their role, while enabling them to maintain a life beyond their caring responsibilities – you should have your own needs assessed and have choices about your own support

Ensuring that people have access to information and advice to make good decisions about their care and support

Ensuring all citizens have access to universal community services and resources such as health, transport and leisure

Making services more flexible so you can agree outcomes and find solutions that are right for your situation:

If needs change over time, personalisation should enable you and the person you are looking after to change the way you are supported.
