Personalisa*on:
what have we done? …where are we going?
Nic Crosby Director Children and Young People
February 2015
Where should we start?
• How do we make decisions and get the support we need…?
….for those of us as parents how do we decide what is right or not for our child, which school or college, what to do on a Saturday morning, what happens if you’re going to be late home from work?
….most young people are able to think about their future in terms of who they wish to spend Ime with, where they might like to live in the future, what job they may want… …..and yet!!!!!
Personalisa*on is……..
• StarIng with the child, young person and their family / those closest to them……
• SupporIng them to think about their life and how they would choose to live it and designing with them the support they need to do this……
‘Personalisa*on’ gets a bad name…..L ….in other words giving children, young people and families choice and control gets a bad name
• …it’s all about budgets, RAS, care and support planning
• …it’s just another way of cuNng budgets and/or taking money away from schools/colleges or where its most needed
• …it’s a way of geNng families to do more and the state to do less
• …it drasIcally increases safeguarding issues
• …it’s leO wing, right wing, privaIsaIon……
What’s a bit of hard work when it can make so much difference…..
……a job shared….?
…..this is why we are here today!
If that’s what personalisa*on is what has been done…….
• Over 2,500 families and young people having more choice and control over their support and how they live their lives ….many parents and young people talking about the difference this has made to them in a very posiIve way
• Government policy – Children and Families Act, Care Act, NHS mandates……. The list goes on now all championing a more personalised approach to supporIng different groups…..
• Workforce development programmes built around a focus on child/family and person centred approaches
So….. • We’ve done a good job in geNng started
• We’ve only just touched the surface of the potenIal of personalisaIon and the work which needs to be done
• We need to work together ……the CYPPN!! (or maybe we’ll have a snappier name by the end of the day …how daring will we be!!!!)
This is simply about children, young people and families having choice over how they live their life and control over how they are supported to do so ….common sense an very simple
