Personalisation has become the policy buzz-word of the twenty-first
century. Supporters claim it offers service users choice and
services attuned to meet their specific needs, moving away from
'one size fits all' state services. In this short form book, part
of the Critical and Radical Debates in Social Work series, Peter
Beresford, one of Britain's foremost social work academics,
challenges the personalisation agenda and its consequences on
service users. Although critical of 'one size fits all' services
that deny service user voice, Beresford argues that personalisation
turns service users into 'consumers' of services within a care
market and hence reinforces the commodification of care which sees
vast profits made by a small number of providers at the expense of
good quality services for those who use them.
