Description

“The simplest confusion comes by treating personalisation as if it is simply about freedom and treating safeguarding as if it is simply about control. But this is not a sensible way of defining these terms. These definitions are wrong, for every sensible practitioner and citizen knows that a good life requires a balance between freedom and control - and the trick is to find the right balance." EXTRACT taken FROM In Control PAPER: personalisation and safeguarding - a response to the Safeguarding Adults consultation; May 2009


This one day conference provides a practical guide to personalisation including implementing the review of the ‘No Secrets’ guidance. You will have the opportunity to hear from Leo Quigley Advisor to Department of Health on the No Secrets Review, who discusses implementing the No Secrets Guidance with a focus on balancing protection with freedom to choose, person centred safeguarding and linkages of personalisation, prevention and safeguarding.


The conference also includes a panel discussion focused on identifying and managing risk associated personalisation for vulnerable people, providing essential information and advice on how risk assessment and management can be applied to work on personalisation to support independence self determination, choice and control.


A series of case studies will provide different perspectives on personalisation including commissioning for choice and control, supporting self assessment, individual budgets and direct payments: moving forward and supporting positive risk taking.

  • Personalisation: moving forward
