Personalisation in Social Work

The text will provide an overview of the personalisation agenda and will reflect on the legislation, history, theories, values and collective voices that have influenced this agenda. Opportunities will be provided for students to consider the changes to the social work role and to evaluate the impact of this for service users and as practitioners. By offering practical support to social work students and practice educators, this text provides a clear understanding of competent practice within a personalisation context and aims to encourage students to explore the major tensions, dilemmas and themes emerging within this agenda.
