| | News | | | | | | "Think Local, Act Personal" (TLAP) Partnership, has established three short-life Task and Finish Groups (TFG) focused on key areas of work identified by the Partnership. One of these is looking at good practice in "developing personalised services" and supporting innovation in new models of care and support. |
| | | | This paper, commissioned by the West Midlands Joint Improvement Partnership (JIP) provides a framework for Councils in shifting the balance away from risk aversion towards supported positive risk taking. The aim is to share risk between the individual using services (regardless of funding source), their family, carers, professional care staff, third parties and the Council. |
| | | | Think Local Act Personal welcomes the Alzheimer's Society report Getting Personal - Making Personal Budgets work for People with Dementia and have already spoken to the Society about its implications |
| | | | Skills for Care has welcomed the launch of new citizen-led markers for councils, organisations and people to check their progress with the personalisation agenda. |
| | | | The Government has identified six areas where they feel there is the biggest potential to make improvements to the care and support system. Between now and December, they will be discussing these areas with a range of people and organisations involved with care and support. They want to hear about what people's priorities are, and feed this information directly into a White Paper that will be published in April 2012. |
