CP2490-24 Personal Budget Generation Tool for Adults

Personal Budgets are a key part of the government's aspirations for a person-centred care and support system. The Care Act 2014 placed Personal Budgets into the law for the first time, making them the norm for people with care and support needs. This effectively means that everyone whose needs are met by the local authority, whether those needs are eligible, or if the authority has chosen to meet other needs, must receive a personal budget as part of the care and support plan, or support plan. The personal budget is an important tool that gives the person clear information regarding the money that has been allocated to meet the needs identified in the assessment and recorded in the plan. As such Integrated Adults Social Care require a mechanism/tool for the consistent calculation of personal budgets.
