  6. Where has personalisationcome from? Personalisation is not just about personal budgets, it's not just about personal health budgets. We want to enable people to be able to take responsibility for their own lives, to have control over their lives, to lead the lives they want. Those that need care and support need to have control over the care and support too. Paul Burstow (Health and Social Care Minister)

  7. Personal budgets In social care

  8. What is a personal budget Person is given an agreed amount of money known as a ‘Personal Budget’ The level of support is based on the person’s score on a Personal Budget Questionnaire Person is able to have all, or part, of this in cash and use it to meet his/her support needs Person can also ask his/her social worker to arrange services for them

  9. Can anyone have a personal budget? • No – only people who are eligible. • Person is assessed to see if they are eligible under the ‘Fair Access to Care Services Criteria’. • Only people with a ‘critical’ or ‘substantial’ need.

  10. What can personal budgetsbe used for? Care in the home, such as personal care (not long-term residential or nursing care) Supported or daytime activities Short breaks or respite care Equipment (not equipment requiring an occupational therapy assessment e.g. electric wheelchair) Complementary treatments

  12. Does the person have to make a Financial Contribution?

  13. Making a support plan A support plan shows how you will use your budget A support plan should show: What’s important to you What’s working in your life What’s not working What are the goals you want to achieve How you will use your budget to meet those goals How you will ensure that you will keep yourself safe
