This At a Glance summary looks at how commissioners working in local authorities can

commission in a way that develops and strengthens user-led organisations (ULOs). It is

a summary of a longer guide SCIE guide 36. A ULO is an organisation that is run and

controlled by people who use support services, including disabled people, mental health

service users, people with learning difficulties, older people, and their families and

carers.

At a Glance 27: Personalisation briefing: Implications for occupational therapists in

social care http://www.scie.org.uk/publications/ataglance/ataglance27.asp

Personalisation for occupational therapists in social care means:

understanding and embracing the social model of disability; providing choice,

control and a person-centred approach to assessment/review and delivery of

support and services

considering environmental barriers as disabling factors in people’s lives and

seeking to remove these barriers through inclusive and flexible building design

and strategic planning

optimising potential for independence through the use of adaptive techniques

and assistive technology

emphasising the promotion of self-reliance and personal and community

resources (universal services)

enabling people to optimise independence in daily living activities through

outcome-focused re-ablement programmes

promoting vocational and employment support to enable disabled people to enter

the employment market

ensuring that people have access to information and advice to make informed

decisions about the support they need, however this is funded

finding new, creative and collaborative ways of working that may be outside

normal statutory provision and actively engaging with service users to co-

produce, design, deliver and evaluate the support/ services received.

standards. Where services are failing people, the CQC has a wide range of

enforcement powers that allow them to take swift, targeted action.
