User-led organisations are organisations that are controlled by people who use support services. They were set up to promote giving people more choice about how their support needs were met. This briefing examines the role user led organisations can play in the personalisation agenda. This includes their role in offering peer support, encouraging co-production and ensuring they have their rightful place in the social care community. Two examples of user-led organisations who are working with local authorities and development personalisation support services are provided.

Purpose: Self-direction–also known as participant direction, personalization and self-directed care–is a service delivery model that enables people to manage their personal budget and purchase services and supports tailored to their needs based on a person-centered plan. This paper, the outcome of an international learning exchange on self-direction, describes approaches across four countries’ successful strategies, unresolved questions and recommendations to enhance self-direction globally. Design/methodology/approach: The findings are a product of discussions at the 2019 International Initiative for Mental Health Leadership and International Initiative for Disability Leadership Exchange on Advances in Self-Direction. Participants included people who are self-directing, providers and caregivers who support people who are self-directing, advocates, fiscal agents and public managers who administer self-direction from the United States, England, Australia and New Zealand. Findings: In all four countries, people who self-direct exercise high levels of choice and control and are able to individualize their services and supports to promote a good life in the community. The exchange also revealed challenges and possible solutions to improve and expand self-direction. Practical implications: The results of the meeting provide guidance for public managers, providers and advocates for initiating and expanding self-direction. Originality/value: This international meeting was a unique opportunity to compare self-direction across four different countries and across multiple perspectives, including people with disabilities, caregivers, providers and administrators.

Lessons from Ricoeur’s ‘capable human being’ for practices of personalisation in three European countries

Personal budget schemes for people with disabilities are imbued with a conception of autonomous and rational individuals. The policy objective to enlarge people’s opportunities conflicts with the presumed capacity of cognitive rationality. We present an analysis of 15 social work professionals’ reflections on the practical implementation of three personal budget policies. Through a conceptualisation of ‘a capable human being’, we deepen our understanding of the social justice character of personal budget schemes. From this analysis we conclude that a strong formalisation of the application, assessment and allocation practice entails the risk that the relational aspect, which includes questions of meaningful care, is relegated to the background. ‘Being capable’ emerges as a condition for acquiring more options for meaningful care in practice, ahead of the intended contribution to people’s capacities. The continuous attention is required for autonomy in interdependency to be recognised. (Edited publisher abstract)

This report takes stock of how far the UK’s health and care services still need to go on integration for high-quality, personalised cancer care to be a reality for everyone. It highlights that experiences of cancer services are far from seamless. People with cancer are still falling into the cracks between primary and secondary care: information is not always tailored to individual needs; support for wider needs, including mental health, is patchy and often delayed. Cancer professionals and the wider workforce are working flat out, but the system is too geared towards rapid measurement of diagnosis and treatment. Personalised care is too often an ‘add on’. The analysis suggests there are four key dimensions to personalised, integrated cancer care that need to be addressed: everyone with cancer can access personalised, joined-up care – the report indicates that not everyone can access this tailored support at all stages of their cancer journey; people with cancer are supported by health and care professionals consistently working together – sometimes coordination across settings falls down, affecting people’s care; people with cancer receive personalised, integrated care across services provided by different parts of the system – integrated care often breaks down during transitions between services and needs are overlooked; services are designed, commissioned and funded around the goal of personalised, integrated cancer care - the fragmentation of cancer funding, commissioning and provision mean that services are not always aligned around the needs of the individual.
