This film looks at the work of a personal budget team in Hull. It shows how the team works with people who use services to provide personalised care, focusing on one family where a mother is having difficulty coping with one of her adult sons who has learning disabilities. The opportunity to spend time at a garden centre transforms the life of her son, but also gives his mother a much-needed break. Without personalisation, this solution would not have been possible and the family would have been reliant on traditional services. Social workers from the team talk about their new ways of working and about the benefits it brings to both them and the people who use their services.
