Personalisation and Learning Disabilities

Book

A handbook

£5.00

Description

This handbook on personalisation is specifically for those working with people with learning disabilities. The 16 chapters, written by various contributors, give readers an insight into what personalisation means in practice.

Divided into three sections, Part one focuses on leaders by experience, Part two explores creating the conditions and Part three examines the broader picture and what’s next for personalisation. Together, the three sections consider the experiences and reflections of individuals and groups who are directing their own support, and how self-directed support changes the responsibilities, roles and relationships of people surrounding the person. They also consider the changing system and what needs to happen for personalised services to succeed.

Audience

Staff in learning disability services who require practical guidance in ‘personalising’ their practice
