Evaluation of Birmingham City Council’s trial of self directed support, including individual budgets for service users, is available to local authorities in the region for free.
The one year trial and its findings are detailed in the report ‘Older Adults Pilot Evaluation - Resource allocation system and support planning’.
The trial included development of ways to help service users take greater control of planning their own support. This included creation of a Resource Allocation System (RAS) – the basis for allocating individual budgets once need and eligibility had been confirmed; and processes and materials to assist service users in developing individual support plans.
Fifteen recommendations are specified in the report, including the continuation of RAS and creating a programme for promoting cultural change.
