The eligibility criteria for social care can be difficult to apply to users with complex social and psychological needs. Social workers are under increasing pressure to ensure that applications for funding are well constructed in order to ensure the financial support allocated to individual and personal budgets are appropriate and maximise the options for the client. This pocketbook aims to provide a guide for those assessing and supporting individuals with complex needs such as mental health, substance misuse or learning disability. It offers guidance on how these types of issues can be applied to eligibility criteria to asses social care funding within a personalised approach targeted at recovery and improved quality of life. The book: describes legal frameworks for assessment and service delivery; examines specific elements of eligibility criteria; provides practice suggestions and checklists; and explores the interface between fair access to care services and NHS CHC criteria. Illustrative case studies are used throughout.

This workbook aims to help service users, carers and professionals work through the issues relating to recover-based mental health care and support. It draws on the capabilities from the 'The 10 Shared Capabilities: a framework for the whole of the mental health workforce' (Hope, 2004). It is divided into 10 sections based on these capabilities. Sections cover: working in partnership; respecting diversity; practising ethically; challenging inequality; promoting recovery; identifying people's needs and strengths; providing service user-centred care; making a difference; promoting safety and positive risk taking; and personal development and learning. Each section is subdivided into the individual competencies required for each capability. Activities and exercises are included to help the reader develop their understanding of the framework.
