The Executive will be asked to consider the way forward on personalisation and the consultation strategy contained in the report
Received a report from the Corporate Director of Adult and Community Services and a presentation from the Personalisation Programme Director on the plans to transform adult social care provision in the Borough as part of the ‘Putting People First’ national agenda.
The Personalisation Programme will give people more choice and control over the services they receive and how they pay for them and will maximise independence, while at the same time reducing the involvement of the local authority in their day-to-day lives. Barking and Dagenham was one of thirteen local authorities to have taken part in the successful National Individual Budget Pilot Scheme that ended in December 2007 and, as a result, has already established a solid platform for many of the aspects of Personalisation, including the Resource Allocation System.
During the discussions it was noted that:
Agreed, to ensure the ongoing development and delivery of the Personalisation agenda for adult social care in the Borough, to the outline service delivery model as detailed in section 2 of the report and illustrated in Appendix A.
