 Perspectives on Personalisation and the English Social Care ExperienceFiona Macdonald ()
Chapter Chapter 3 in Individualising Risk, 2021, pp 41-63 from Springer Abstract: Abstract In the United Kingdom continuing debates about individualised funding of social care have accompanied the development and implementation over 20 years or so of what is known there as personalised social care. Questions about the implications of individualised funding for frontline social care workers are sometimes raised in these debates. However, over the decade or so since the global financial crisis in 2008–2009 austerity funding the main concern when the problems of low-paid social workers are raised, particularly in England, has been austerity funding. This chapter introduces the personalisation debates and reviews the evidence relating to the success of personalised social care in England, including the evidence relating to how social care workers fare. This provides a reference point for appraising the policy rationale and design of Australia’s new National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), and its potential for re-shaping care work and employment.
