It will normally entail contingencies in the care framework and provide for preventative and crisis management, reducing delays in the delivery of care and promote independence and self management of ones wellbeing.1.3 Explain the relationship between rights, choice and personalisation.Personalisation is a social care approach described by the Department of Health as meaning that every person who receives support, whether provided by statutory services or funded by themselves, will have choice and control over the shape of that support in all care settings.

Person centred thinking is a set of values, skills and tools used in getting to know someone, what they find important and what they want out of life.
