Personalisation

Your Care, Your Choice

Personalisation is about giving people more choice and control over their lives, going beyond simply giving personal budgets to those eligible for council funding.

Westminster has been changing social care services to provide more personalised care. The factsheets below will provide you with information about the various changes that have been made to improve our services.

Supported Self Assessment Questionnaire. This questionnaire is a new assessment document which allows you to tell Adults Services about your living situation, how you currently manage on a daily basis and any needs you feel you have that you may require some support with.  As part of the assessment process, Adults Services will then arrange for someone to visit you to complete the 'support worker information' section.
