Beyond Direct Payments
People and families should be informed clearly that:
• they don’t need to use a direct payment to control their personal budget
• they will be helped to get support from an organisation of their own choosing, including
organisations that might not currently have a contract with the local authority
• they can change their minds and change who manages their personal budget
• their personal budget can be used exibly and creatively to achieve the outcomes that matter to them.
