| Annotation | Personalisation is about giving people much more choice and control over their lives, and goes well beyond just giving personal budgets to those eligible for council housing. It implies considering the needs, preferences and aspirations of the person as an individual or of whole communities, to ensure that everyone has access to the right information, advice and advocacy to make decisions about the support they need. This 'At a glance' looks at these factors and other implications for commissioners: ensuring the right balance of investment between services; finding new collaborative ways of working (sometimes known as co-production); developing local partnerships, particularly between health and social care; and commissioning prevention and well-being services. Also at the weblink given is 'Personalisation: a rough guide' (including an easy read version and Powerpoint presentations), looking at what personalisation is, where the idea came from, and its context within wider public service reform.
