| Annotation | Government policy set out in the Putting People First concordat (2007) made it clear that services must be provided in a personalised way in future. Moreover, the Government has also announced that, from April 2011, all new entrants to social care will be offered control of their own personal budgets. As a major provider for people with learning disabilities and autism, Dimensions is now transforming its services to ensure it can respond flexibly to people with a personal budget who want bespoke support. This book is written for other providers and describes what Dimensions has been learning in developing a strategy that involves all sections of the organisation from family support to staffing, finances, marketing, IT and governance. Appendices include Progress for Providers, a tool that focuses on delivering personalised, individually costed services, and which has been developed by providers and commissioners (and can be downloaded from www.progressforproviders.org).
