This presentation was given to academic staff at the University of the West of England. It sets out the background to personalisation and some of the major policy developments that are likely in the years ahead.
2. Questions
1. What is personalisation?
2. What might it mean for public
services?
3. What are the prospects for further
reform?
4. What does it mean for you?
7. There are eight degrees of charity, one
higher than the other.
The highest degree, exceeded by none, is
that of the person who assists a poor Jew by
providing him with a gift or loan or by
accepting him into a business partnership or
by helping him find employment - in a word,
by putting him where he can dispense with
other people's aid.
With reference to such aid, it is said, “You
shall strengthen him, be he a stranger or a
settler, he shall live with you” (Lev. 25:35),
which means strengthen him in such manner
that his falling into want is prevented.
9. This means real poverty
1. Despair - having no hope
2. Loneliness - having no friends or
family
3. Exclusion - never being part of
anything
4. Worthlessness - not believing in
yourself
5. Powerlessness - having no control
