This report looks at the work of Plymouth, Hampshire and Derbyshire in implementing Personal Health Budgets for children and young people with complex needs. It follows work which National Development Team for Inclusion (NDTi) have undertaken to support these areas with identifying the problems and solutions to implementation. It looks at the problems the areas have been trying to solve, what they have tried and learned, and their plans for the future. Four case studies are also included which look at: changing staff culture and people’s lived experience using Personal Health Budgets as Individual Service Funds, and the importance of Personal Health Budget advisors with lived experience. The report also provides tips for other organisations developing Personal Health Budgets for children and young people in the areas of: leadership, understanding Personal Health Budgets as whole system change, gaining commitment from key players, and family centred practice. It also provides information about the support planning process used by NDTi to support the three sites and a summary report of the work that took place between from 2014-16.
