Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to reflect on five reasons why personalisation is so contested. It aims to highlight the shared themes that point to common ground between advocates and critics of personalisation.
Design/methodology/approach: The paper draws on different academic and practitioner perspectives on personalisation, covering both advocates for and critics of the personalisation reforms.
Findings: The paper concludes by suggesting that the development of self-directed support in Scotland has the potential to develop social care change in ways which may be palatable to both sides of the English policy debate.
Originality/value: People who support and critique personalisation often write in ways which do not directly engage with the perspectives of the other side. Here

Originality/value: People who support and critique personalisation often write in ways which do not directly engage with the perspectives of the other side. Here the authors engage directly with the points of difference to explicate why such a diversity of perspectives exists, and how there is more common ground than might be assumed.

This short film looks at commissioning personalised services based on work in Dorset. The film highlights initiatives funded by Dorset County Council Innovation Fund. The fund provides start-up money for small independent providers to develop a range of services which local people with personal budgets might purchase. The idea is that the projects will eventually be self sustaining. A key feature of the fund is that the panel which assesses the applications is predominantly made up of people who use services and carers. This film describes a project for adults with learning disabilities call New Ground. This teaches participants to grow and cook their own food. Another project featured is ‘Woofability', a small enterprise which provides specially trained dogs to disabled people as helpers and companions. The film ends by featuring a project which aims to improve the capacity of the county's user-led organisations to share resources, expertise and back offices functions.

This short film is about commissioning services to support personalisation based on work in London. The film looks at two inner London authorities where personalisation has lead to a total rethink of commissioning. The film highlights how the councils have reformulated their commissioning processes allowing people who use the services to be resources in their own right. This has led to imaginative solutions to complex social needs and supported the development of high quality and sustainable local services.

The film looks at two inner London authorities where personalisation has lead to a total rethink of commissioning. The film highlights personalisation for younger adults in health services in Camden and describes how three councils reformulated their commissioning process to a person centered approach. The commissioners worked with small, local social enterprises to ensure they offered good, efficient services with people who use services at their centre. The second half of the film goes on to describe how block commissioned services in Tower Hamlets have been changed to give those using services more choice and control over their support.

This briefing examines the implications of the personalisation agenda for advocacy workers. Personalisation, including personal budgets, may change the type of support that people ask their advocacy workers to provide. In particular there may be a greater need for support from advocates to enable people to consider how money is spent and support organised. Other people may wish to use a part of their personal budget to buy support from an advocate, additional to that which should be freely provided as part of a universal information and advice service. Advocates and their organisations may want to consider whether and how they change in view of the potential changing requests.
