Community Care has published their annual personalisation survey – canvassing the views of social workers and how they’re progressing with implementing personalisation. The survey was sponsored by Unison and the College of Social Work.
Martin Routledge, Programme Manager at Think Local Act Personal says, “The annual Community Care survey offers a helpful temperature check on what readers – mostly professionals and managers – see as the current state of play with personalisation. The findings can be read alongside other pieces of intelligence and research to add to our understanding of the position and where the priorities for action lie.
Even in these really difficult times, significantly more respondents said that personalisation is having a positive rather than negative impact on their jobs – though we should be concerned about the substantial minority that say otherwise or that the status of social workers has been negatively affected. Social work has key roles to play in personalisation but these need to be more strongly articulated both nationally and locally.”
In response to the survey results, Think Local Act Personal has contributed to Community Care’s Guide to Cutting Bureaucracy.
