Personalisation
Personalisation is about being in control of your own health or social care. It is also referred to as Self-Directed Care.
Here are some terms you might come across when you’re learning about personalisation:
Person-centred planning means your care being planned around your own personal needs.
Independent living means services encourage you to live in your own home.
Individual budgets means you will be given a budget to fund your health and social care and you can decide how that money is spent.
Bradford Council wants to make it easier for people in the district to be in control of their health and social care budget. It is training its staff to understand Personalisation and be able to offer solutions to people in the District. It recently published a report called Your Care Your Choice.

Bradford LINk will be making sure everyone who has an opinion on the matter, can have their say on how services should be delivered.
