In this discussion paper the authors argue that the broad policy concepts and detailed practice of personalisation are rooted in, and informed by, human rights: both with regard to the general approach human rights imply and the underpinning legal framework they provide.

It is further argued that a current Scottish manifestation of “personalisation” - the national Self-Directed Support Strategy together with the associated legislation in progress – creates a solid platform to build on and should be implemented locally, in such a way that the human rights principles that lie at its core are clearly evident in the lives of individual men and women.
