One of our partner organisations, Groundswell has produced a new
report - Empower and Enable.
Great support planning is critical to
personalisation. At its best it provides the space, support and
encouragement people need to think creatively about how to use all
the resources available to them. But this isn't how it works for
everybody at the moment. As councils take up the challenge of
delivering fully personalised care and support in difficult times,
much will depend on how far great support planning can be made
universally available.
This short report explores how this can be done and what
it will take to make great support planning simple and commonplace,
building on the work that Groundswell Partnership led in developing
the Think Local, Act Personal guidance 'Rethinking Support
Planning' in 2011. The report outlines practical steps providers
and councils can take to demystify the planning process and make
great support planning achievable and affordable.
Empower and Enable can be downloaded from the Groundswell
Partnership website.
