“…For other community activities, including participating in volunteering and political activities, 25 per cent said SDS supported with this activity, whereas 39 per cent of potential users said they would want to use SDS to support this activity. In Scotland responsibility for providing this support is split between social care, local authority leisure and sport facilities, and voluntary organisations (Play Scotland, 2011;Scottish Government, 2013, 2018bAllcock, 2018).…”

Background: Personalisation in social care services has become a feature of the delivery of long-term care for disabled people in many developed welfare states. Aim: Scotland has used the devolution of health and social care powers to develop a personalisation scheme (known as ‘Self-directed Support’). The authors apply a theoretical and empirical framework to understand the experience of contemporary disabled users of personalised services. Methods: The authors use a Scottish data set of six focus groups and a survey of 126 disabled people and family carers. Results: The data showed that flexible funding and the ability to provide services that cross agency boundaries were instrumental in moving towards equitable outcomes. Conclusions: Although there are clear policy and practice barriers to inter-agency working in personalised care services, the evidence suggests that it is worth investing in overcoming these barriers for disabled people and family carers.
