Book Synopsis Personalisation by : Peter Beresford
Download or read book Personalisation written by Peter Beresford and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personalization has become a social policy buzzword in the twenty-first century as many organizations move steadily away from one-size-fits-all models of service. In this provocative book, Peter Beresford is joined by other top academics to challenge the personalization agenda. Although critical of one-size-fits-all approaches, they contend that personalization turns service users into consumers who are shopping in a care market. This does not facilitate better attunement to user needs, they argue, but an increased commodification of care that actually channels large profits toward a decreasing number of providers at the expense of service quality. A timely debate in an era when public programs are deeply embattled, Personalisation is a careful work of critical policy assessment.

Book excerpt: “This helpful text represents another brick in the wall for social workers and social work students seeking to make sense of personalisation/person-centred support, personal budgets and the changing role of social work in the future … This book will help all concerned with social work make better sense of what this should look like - if it is to support social justice, inclusion and equality.” Professor Peter Beresford OBE, Brunel University and Chair, Shaping Our Lives "This informative text bases the Personalisation discussion on real life examples and perspectives, providing a balanced account of the opportunities and obstacles faced by all stakeholders engaged in this agenda .... The final chapter on managing change provides the reader with an opportunity to step forward in time and consider how Personalisation might be located within the historical timeline of delivering social care and whether concepts of co-production, empowerment and citizenship can in fact become central to this agenda. A book to get you 'thinking' and 'doing'." Ali Gardner, Senior Lecturer, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK "The authors have written a timely and highly topical book on the impact that Personalisation has and will have upon the world of Social Work. They do so in a very accessible way through highlighting the benefits of the model to all concerned, but crucially they explore some of the many concerns. In particular they address the anxieties expressed by qualified social workers upon their future role. … I shall certainly draw upon the text for my own teaching and learning and will encourage students and practitioners to do the same." Paul Hollingdale, Course Leader, University of Huddersfield, UK Personalisation remains a huge talking point in the world of social care. This timely book addresses the tensions, opportunities and challenges faced by social workers attempting to implement personal funding and support. Written by three academics with extensive first hand experience of supporting people in personalised ways, the book highlights the ethical dilemmas and complexities of frontline practice and is grounded in a pragmatic and creative approach to personalisation.

Book Synopsis Individualising Risk by : Fiona Macdonald
Download or read book Individualising Risk written by Fiona Macdonald and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-17 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates how paid care work and employment are being transformed by policies of social care individualisation in the context of new gig economies of care. Drawing on a case study of the creation of a new individualised care market under Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme the book provides important insights into possible futures for social care employment where care is treated as an individual consumer service. Bringing together sociological, political science and socio-legal approaches the book demonstrates how, in individualised care markets and with ineffective labour laws, risks of business and employment are devolved to frontline care workers. The book argues for an urgent re-evaluation of current policy approaches to care and for new regulatory approaches to protect workers in diverse forms of employment.

Book Synopsis Self-directed Support by : Charlotte Pearson
Download or read book Self-directed Support written by Charlotte Pearson and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late 1990s, there has been a concerted policy drive across social care towards cash-based modes of support and strategies to personalize services. Support for this shift was initiated by the disabled peoples' movement, both in the UK and globally. Policies introducing direct payments in lieu of provided services have been secured gradually as a central plank of the campaign for independent living. Subsequently, successive governments have promoted a shift towards personalization as part of a wider focus to develop local care markets and to facilitate enhanced choice and control in service provision. In Scotland, this has been pursued through new legislation for self-directed support. As the new policy is introduced, local authorities and providers face challenges in transforming social care. This book examines some of the key themes and debates emerging from the implementation of this policy. These include a look at the evolution of this concept and its development within the wider personalization agenda, as well as a focus on the new language that is emerging and the changing roles for users, caregivers, local authorities, and service providers. The book focuses on the impact of change for front-line workers and reassesses the progress of personalization across the UK and in Europe during a time of widespread austerity and financial cuts.
