Abstract: |
Choice Support was formed in 1984 in south east London to provide a range of support services for disabled and disadvantaged people. In 2010, a 3-year partnership was set up between Choice Support and Southwark Council to develop personalisation in adult social care. This is the 1st of 3 short research reports outlining progress and describing the steps necessary to make the changes. The aims of the project were to transform a block contract worth in excess of £6 million, to develop individual funding for 83 people, and hence to transform the options and supports available to people in Southwark. Savings are expected to be £1.79 million over 4 years, a 29.75% saving for Southwark Adult Services. By November 2011, the following has been achieved: the large block contract for 83 people has been broken down into individual budgets; Individual Service Funds (ISF) have been created for more flexible services; better and more empowering services have been created; and a more dynamic and respectful relationship between a service provider and commissioner have been developed. |
