A new year return for the Demos podcast. This time we're talking about the new pamphlet Making It Personal. Just before the launch, at a day-long conference held last Friday, Peter Bradwell spoke to two of the authors, Niamh Gallagher and Jamie Bartlett.
The pamphlet explores, with a focus on social care, the next stage of a personalising approach to public services: people given an individual budget so they can shape, with the advice of peers, family and professionals, the support they need. Niamh and Jamie discuss why these self-directed services are such an important transformation of how traditional public services work, and what impact they really have.

You can read about the launch event, and download audio and transcriptions form some of the talks here. The conference featured talks from Ed Miliband, Minister for the Cabinet Office; Charles Leadbeater, Demos Associate and co-author with Jamie and Niamh; and Dame Denise Platt, Chair, Commission for Social Care Inspection.
