Description
This unique book brings together, for the first time, advocates and critics of the personalisation agenda in English social care services to debate key issues relating to personalisation.
Perspectives from service users, practitioners, academics and policy commentators come together to give an account of the practicalities and controversies associated with the implementation of personalised approaches. The conclusion examines how to make sense of the divergent accounts presented, asking if there is a value-based approach to person-centred care that all sides share.
Written in a lively and accessible way, practitioners, students, policy makers and academics in health and social care, social work, public policy and social policy will appreciate the interplay of rival arguments and the way that ambiguities in the care debate play out as policy ideas take programmatic form.

Reviews / Votes
"This was a lively and stimulating encapsulation of debates about the future of adult social care, and other areas of public policy. Highly recommended!" Dr Mark Lymbery, University of Nottingham "This excellent, well balanced collection cuts through the ideological polarised debates and draws on personal experiences and research evidence to look at the pros and cons of personalisation. A must read for practitioners, advocates, researchers and policy makers, and a useful tool for those managing their own personalised services." Professor Kirstein Rummery, University of Stirling "Provides an informative overview of the development of personal health budgets focusing on the ideological, political and financial challenges it faces in moving forward." British Journal of Social Work "A very welcome addition to the personalisation literature. Its breadth of discussion makes it a valuable resource in disability studies teaching and for all those with personal and professional interests in the area." Disability & Society "An important contribution to critical social policy by emphasising that person-centred care is not about individual responsibility, it is about choice and control." Critical Social Policy "A valuable contribution to what are arguably the most important debates happening in UK adult social care at the present time." Research, Policy and PlanningMore details
