Self Directed Support Planning

Barnsley is one of thirteen areas in the UK chosen to pilot the Government’s initiative to offer ‘Individual Budgets’ to disabled people.

'Individual Budgets' provide the opportunity for people to choose how, when and from where they wish to receive their social care. The budgets are used to obtain whatever support the individual needs including:

• Specialist equipment
• Personal assistance
• Housing adaptations
• Help with transport to work etc

Currently we have several members of our team undergoing training to offer self directed support planning for clients who are allocated 'Individual Budgets'
