‘Making it Real’ – update August 2012
Later in the year the Knowsley user Led Organisation (KULO) will be consulting with people who use services to examine the markers in Making it Real and identify the top three priorities for Knowsley. We will keep you informed of these plans but in the meantime, KDC has made a commitment by signing up to Making it Real and we are running a workshop on 15 August to look at what is important for our customers and what we need to do better. If you would like to get involved and have your say, contact Johanne Ross on 480 4090 for more details.
What is ‘Making it Real’
Making it Real is a set of statements from people who use care and support telling The Think Local, Act Personal Partnership what they would expect, see and experience if personalisation is real and working well in an organisation.
These are “markers” that will help show how well an organisation is doing in transforming adult social care through personalisation and community-based support.
This is a new phase in using citizen-led information to judge success in implementing personalisation.
