| Annotation | A review of progress with self-directed support by the Care Services Improvement Partnership (CSIP) in 2007 described it as "potentially the biggest change in the provision of social care in England in 60 years". However, the rapid introduction of personalisation and personal budgets has met with mixed reactions from academics and social workers. The author looks at some of the arguments, by considering the differing reactions which he believes appear to have been influenced at least by these underlying issues: a misunderstanding of key concepts such as In Control and direct payments; not comparing like with like; attitudes to current services; and different views about what constitutes good evidence.
