In activation work – supporting jobless people to perform activities that are supposed to lead them back to paid work – a personalised approach is deemed crucial. What a personalised approach entails, however, remains unclear. This article tries to further develop the notion of a personalised approach in activation work, by analysing Dutch workfare volunteers’ experiences with activation. The interviews show that a personalised approach appears as a process with three stages. In the first stage, personalised means paying attention to welfare clients’ personal histories, particularly their ‘violated life story’. In the second stage, personalised means being sensitive to the new reality of them being volunteers. In the third stage, personalised means paying attention to the future, especially to the prospect of paid work.The findings contribute to the theorisation of a personalised approach in activation work to which time turns out to be a crucial dimension.

Guidance on the principles, set out in the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014, which describe how integrated care should be planned and delivered and how the principles will work in tandem with the National Health and Wellbeing Outcomes. The document is split into two sections. First there is an explanation of each short principle in the Act as it relates to people using services. Second, there are a number of challenge questions set out for partners, to help them evaluate how well they are embedding the principles in all their activities. This is accompanied by links to resources to help implement the principles in day to day work. The set of principles is aimed at ensuring that services are provided in a way which: (i) is integrated from the point of view of service-users, (ii) takes account of the particular needs of different service-users; (iii) takes account of the particular needs of service-users in different parts of the area in which the service is being provided; (iv) takes account of the particular characteristics and circumstances of different service-users; (v) respects the rights of service-users; (vi) takes account of the dignity of service-users; (vii) takes account of the participation by service-users in the community in which service-users live; (viii) protects and improves the safety of service-users; (ix) improves the quality of the service; (x) is planned and led locally in a way which is engaged with the community (including in particular service-users, those who look after service-users and those who are involved in the provision of health or social care), (xi) best anticipates needs and prevents them arising; and (xii) makes the best use of the available facilities, people and other resources.

Progress in Personalisation is a self-assessment framework that helps provider organisations measure the progress they are making towards delivering personalised support. In the move towards self-directed support, this tool is designed to help providers understand their current effectiveness, but also develop an action plan to help them improve. The tool identifies the key outcomes that provider organisations should be achieving when individuals are effectively directing their own support and the four areas of a provider organisation’s activity to which these outcomes apply. There are: dignity, integrity and accountability; flexibility, creativity and innovation; meaningful choice and control; and working together, collaboration and participation in the community.

Examines the needs of LGBT people with dementia and how the social care workforce could provide more appropriate support. The report is based on a roundtable held by the National LGBT Partnership with the National Care Forum, Sue Ryder and the Voluntary Organisations Disability Group, as part of the Department of Health Strategic Partner Programme. The report highlights the specific needs of LGBT people, who are more likely than their heterosexual peers to be single and living alone and less likely to have family support, and suggests that their past experiences of prejudice may affect their perception of support. It identifies some of the concerns LGBT people have in relation to dementia and access to support: reduced inhibition caused by dementia; being forced "back into the closet" in later life because of the attitudes of care staff; and lack of research into the LGBT population with dementia. The report recommends that awareness raising work must reach all settings, including home-based support and residential care, to address the fact that LGBT older people are rarely acknowledged by service providers and commissioners. Additional topics highlighted in the report include: regular support vs. 'rainbow villages'; growing more good practice; workforce and training; and personalisation and dignity.

The introduction of Community Care put the development of a market in adult social care to the fore. The emphasis of recent years upon personalized care put the choice and control by individuals at the heart of care services. Both policies require a major shift way from the model where the state prescribed the way services were delivered, and therefore largely provided the service itself. A new model is required which shapes and makes markets from which choices can be made. Despite these policy drivers, there has been a paucity of thinking about the role of the state in ensuring that markets provides the choice, quality and safety needed by citizens. The author argues that developing the response to the Care and Support Bill provides a real opportunity to develop new approaches to markets as central to the exercise of individual choice.

Easy read version of the Government White Paper which sets out their vision for a reformed care and support system in England. The White Paper aims to ensure people are kept more independent; have choice and control over their own care and support; can live their lives the way they want and can keep their human rights. Using bullet points this easy read version describes what is meant by care and support; looks at paying for care and support; the problems with care and support at the moment; and how care and support can be made better.

Government White Paper which sets out the vision for a reformed care and support system. Two core principles are at the heart of the White Paper. These are that everything should be done to minimise people's need for formal care and support and promote people's wellbeing and independence; and that people should in control of their own care and support. The White Paper sets out the reasons for the need for change and then outlines the new vision for care and support. It then looks at how a new system will address concerns in seven key areas. Supporting people to maintain their independence for as long as possible by strengthening support within communities and providing better options for housing. Helping people to understand how care and support works and what their entitlements and responsibilities are. Ensuring people are happy with the quality of their care and support by helping to define high-quality care, improving quality, keeping people safe and improving the local care market. Knowing that the individual will be treated with dignity and respect. Ensuring that individuals are in control of their care and support with personalisation and integrated care. The final chapter looks at how the White Paper will be put into action, which includes the publication of a draft Care and Support Bill for consultation.

Background and Objectives: Globally, a culture change in long-term residential care (LTRC) moving towards person-centred care (PCC) has occurred in an attempt to improve resident quality of life (QoL). However, a clear understanding of how different aspects contributing to a PCC approach are interrelated with resident QoL is still lacking. This review explores interrelating aspects between PCC and QoL in LTRC using qualitative synthesis. Research Design and Methods: Ten relevant primary studies were identified from a search of interdisciplinary research databases providing qualitative information. Studies were critically reviewed for key themes and concepts by the research team. This study used a meta-ethnography approach to inductively interpret findings across multiple studies and reinterpreted the information using a constructivist approach. Results: This study identified 5 second order constructs sharing commonalities suggesting interrelations between PCC and QoL: (1) Maintaining dignity, autonomy and independence. (2) Knowing the whole person. (3) Creating a ‘homelike’ environment. (4) Establishing a caring culture. (5) Integrating families and nurturing internal and external relationships. Synthesis translation led to the following third order constructs: (1) Personalising care within routines (2) Optimising resident environments (3) Giving residents a voice. Discussion and Implications: There are many interrelating aspects of PCC and QoL following a permanent transition into LTRC, but successful implementation of PCC, which enhances QoL presents challenges due to organisational routines and constraints. However, by prioritising resident voices to include their needs and preferences in care, QoL can be supported following a transition into LTRC.

This document sets out how the Department of Health has met the Public Sector Equality Duty during policy development, in line with the five chapters of the White Paper. The chapters are: I am supported to maintain my independence for as long as possible; I understand how care and support works, and what my entitlements and responsibilities are; I am happy with the quality of my care and support; I know that the person giving me care and support will treat me with dignity and respect; and I am in control of my care and support. The analysis draws on available evidence, including the findings from the 'Caring for our future' engagement and consultation with the care and support community. The final chapters summarises the main likely impacts of the reform of the care and support system on key equality groups (age, carers, disability, gender, race, religion, rural communities, sexual orientation and transgender, socio-economic status) and outlines the next steps for reform.
