As the Valuing People Support Team’s national training programme was rolled out, it became clear that the person centred reviews developed to transform the Year 9 transition review in schools could be equally powerful within adult services. Programmes in the North East and North West of England were funded to discover: how person centred reviews could be used in day and residential services; and how information from person centred reviews could be used to inform strategic commissioning. In addition, a provider evaluated what people using services thought about the person centred review process, and compared this with their experience of traditional reviews. Taken together these three pieces of work reveal benefits for the users themselves and their families; for providers; and for commissioners. Person centred reviews can lead to changes for individuals and services and still meet statutory requirements. They could replace existing statutory reviews as they generally take the same amount of time and involve the same people. Information from person centred reviews can provide important data for strategic commissioning. Service users who were part of the study preferred person centred reviews to traditional reviews.

Drawing on a wealth of experience of working with older people, this book presents six essential person-centred practices. Person-centred practices are a key way to provide the best possible care and support for older people and help them to be active and valued members of the community. Each of the practices is designed to support the individual and put what is important to and for the person at the forefront of their care. Each practice has been tailored so that older people can express more easily what does and does not work for them. By actively listening and making each person feel appreciated, the practices represent practical tools for frontline practitioners to form good relationships with people in their care. With supporting stories and full colour photographs to illustrate how person-centred thinking and practice is used in real-life settings, the book contains many examples to help practitioners to overcome challenges and to implement positive, effective changes to care.

This book demonstrates how to introduce Individual Service Funds (ISFs), what works and what doesn't, and how to deal with difficulties and setbacks. Individual Service Funds are one way that people living with dementia can have a personal budget. The authors explain how they went about introducing the principles of ISFs to people living with dementia in a large care home in Stockport, without using any additional funding. They describe the person-centred practices used and the involvement of the council, commissioners, staff and families. Through detailed stories and examples, they demonstrate the significant impact to quality of life for people with dementia the approach can deliver. There is a strong emphasis on managerial and organisational issues, including getting staff 'on board', providing adequate support, budgeting, building effective partnerships and implementing change.

Using case examples, this article describes the Practicalities and Possibilities Development Programme, which was developed by the Older People's Programme, the Centre for Policy on Ageing and Helen Sanderson Associates to help councils and their NHS partners work together to improve outcomes for older people using a range of person-centred techniques, and has been running in 9 local authorities in England over 18 months. The programme includes a resource pack containing lessons and stories showing how the areas (Bournemouth, Buckinghamshire, Cheshire, Cumbria, Dorset, Enfield, Hounslow, Leicester, and Tameside) created a personalised approach using different person-centred tools to learn who the older person is, what is important to them and how they want to be supported. The article sets out the lessons from the local authorities' work for helping older people experience the benefits of personalisation, including involving older people from the start both individually and collectively to identify key priorities, developing partnerships, the importance of a strategic approach with support from a senior lead, investing in creating the right conditions for change, and recognising that it is change both for staff and for older people and families.
