  5. SCIE Report 40: Keeping personal budgets personal – Key findings for older people • Personal budgets have potential to offer older people more independence, choice and control • Clear information about options for managing and spending the budget, knowledgeable staff who do not make ageist assumptions about capacity, risk and support needs • Support with assessment and planning, including from user led organisations; creative, flexible support plans • Social work support during process, practitioner continuity, relationship-based working, time and access to peer support • Central role of carers – RAS to be carer neutral then adjusted in negotiation with carer • Even with managed accounts and directly commissioned services, every effort should be made to maximise choice and control for the older person

  6. Remember... • “It is essential for councils to check that personal budgets are authentic – that they are actually resulting in greater choice and control for individuals” (ADASS and LGA 2010)
