Putting People First made the commitment that person-centred planning and self-directed support will become mainstream so that packages of support can be tailored to people’s individual needs and aspirations. It stated that personal budgets would become the normal way of doing this for everyone eligible for publicly funded adult social care. This paper brings together current thinking around the concepts and processes involved in self-directed support. The paper discusses how councils are approaching the issues and challenges associated with implementing personal budgets. It tackles some common areas of confusion and misinterpretation. It aims to assist councils with their progress in meeting the government’s objective that by 2011 all councils will have made significant steps towards redesign and reshaping their adult social care services in line with Putting People First, including the offer of personal budgets to all eligible people.

This thematic review is derived from adult social care peer challenges undertaken in seven local authorities between 2012 and 2014, where the Local Government Association worked with the authorities to help them to respond to changing agenda for adult social care. The report maps the key issues arising from the seven local authorities and suggests policy and practice improvement ideas, suggestions and recommendations. Peer challenge is a method which allows a team of people who understand the pressures of running a local authority to review the council's practices in a challenging but supportive way. It is part of a strand of work by the Local Government Association (LGA) to support sector-led improvement in adult services. The challenges in this report focus on six key areas: How well are outcomes being achieved for people?; Vision, strategy and leadership; Working together; Resource and workforce management; Service delivery and effective practice; and Commissioning. Practice points are highlighted throughout to identify possible areas for focus. (Edited publisher abstract)
