Module Indicative Content
This module will explore the personalisation agenda which seeks to transform social care from a service-led model to an individual needs-led model. You will consider the evolution from historic models of care to the current dialogue. The crucial distinction between `providing care' and `enabling' will be discussed in the context of finite family, community, social, political and economic resources.
The module also promotes principles of good practice in relation to the assessment, care planning, intervention and evaluation that supports the choices and aspirations of individuals and communities. You will be expected to relate relevant legislation, frameworks and policy to their own practice, and demonstrate their ability to apply common core principles of care within a rapidly transforming and increasingly diverse society.
