| Annotation | There is a divide over how to deliver external support in the move to personalisation of services. This article reviews and compares the findings of two reports. The discussion paper, 'Choice and control: the training and accreditation of independent support brokers' by Steve Dawson of the National Development Team (NDT), considers NDT's earlier work on brokerage. The New Economics Foundation (NEF) paper, 'Co-production: a manifesto for growing the care economy' draws mainly on US literature and practice in which people are perceived in terms of the personal assets they can bring to their local communities, for example through "time banks" and social capital. The author of this article suggests that the two sides represented by the two reports are given more to evangelising than offering evidence. (RH). |
