A Rough Guide to Personalisation

Personalisation: a rough guide

By Sarah Carr

Published: October 2008

This guide aims to tell the story so far about the personalisation of adult social care services. It is intended to set out the current understanding of personalisation at a very early stage of implementation, exploring what personalisation is, where the idea came from and placing the transformation of adult social care in the wider public service reform agenda.

Key points

The report contains the following key messages and recommendations:

  • By identifying and transferring knowledge about good practice, SCIE has a special role to play in transforming adult social care services.
  • Person-centred planning and self-directed support will need to become mainstream
  • It will ultimately mean universal services such as transport, housing and education are accessible to all citizens.
  • The personalised system will need to be cost-effective and sustainable in the long term.
  • Approaches to early intervention and prevention need to develop further so that people are encouraged to stay healthy and independent.
  • The social care workforce will need to acquire new skills.


This powerpoint presentation is based on and complements SCIE's 'Personalisation: a rough guide' publication. It can be used for presentations and training and can be tailored to the particular requirements of the event, audience or sector. There is also a PDF verison.
