Under the Care Act 2014, assessments should reflect more accurately a comprehensive picture of people's needs - including how they change over time. In this film two people, one with mental health needs, the other with a physical disability, talk about their conditions, assessment, how their needs can fluctuate and the impact this has on the level of care and support they need. The film illustrates how the new requirement aims to recognise people as individuals by endorsing a much-needed degree of flexibility and responsive care, as well as offering valuable support for people with mental health and physical health conditions which may vary over time.

We see examples of excellence in support offered to older people, people with learning disabilities and people with physical disabilities in their own homes. Much of the focus is on the relationship between staff members and the people they support because getting that right is fundamental to excellent care. This film has now been revised. This film was previously available under the title 'Defining excellence: excellence in domiciliary care '. (Edited publisher abstract)

This briefing examines the implications of the personalisation agenda for occupational therapists. Personalisation for occupational therapists in social care means: understanding and embracing the social model of disability; providing choice, control and a person-centred approach to assessment/review and delivery of support and services. A number of brief case studies illustrate the ways in which occupational therapists can support personalisation.

This discussion paper considers the characteristics of social care organisations that successfully promote diversity, and explores research on barriers to promoting diversity, as well as how these can be overcome. After exploring use of the term ‘diversity’, the authors suggest that diversity is used to mean taking account of the complexities of the lives of individuals and of groups of people, and the impact of these complexities on their experience of discrimination and disadvantage. In this context, the focus is on black and minority ethnic people as a group with multiple identities. So an organisation that successfully promotes diversity will take account of age, disability, gender and ‘race’ issues. In practice this could mean extending choice and control to a disabled Asian woman wanting to live ‘independently’ in an extension to her parents’ home, as well as to a 70-year-old Caribbean man with chronic arthritis living on his own in a council flat. This discussion paper draws on census data to demonstrate higher rates of long-term limiting illness and disability among black and minority ethnic communities in comparison to white communities, and in women in these communities more than men. This data is supplemented by evidence of a greater risk of unemployment and lower incomes amongst black and minority ethnic groups, and of poorer-quality housing. Black and minority ethnic communities are also less likely to benefit from a range of government initiatives that deal with social exclusion.
