Presents the findings from an evaluation project. The study used an evidence-based case comparison method to compare a small sample of parents accessing direct payments from those using services arranged or provided by social services. The study found that parents accessing direct payments did not report any greater benefits than those using traditional services. Looks at some of the possible reasons for this, and puts forward suggestions for other authorities setting up similar schemes.
