Personalised Transition: A Collaborative Approach to Funding Individual Budgets for Young Disabled People with Complex Needs Leaving School

Personalised Transition: A Collaborative Approach to Funding Individual Budgets for Young... Personalised Transition demonstrates how a collaborative approach to funding individual budgets for disabled school leavers with complex needs in Sheffield has led to more positive, individualised outcomes for the young people and their families. The approach allows young people and their families to be in control of support planning and organising their lives beyond school with a mix of funding from health, social care and education according to individual needs. The focus is on the young person as a citizen with a contribution to make - not as a service user. The model is already being used in five other local authority regions in Yorkshire and the Humber. The implications of the model go far wider - to further reforms in adult social care, health care, education, children and families, and community development. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Integrated Care Pier Professional

Abstract

Personalised Transition demonstrates how a collaborative approach to funding individual budgets for disabled school leavers with complex needs in Sheffield has led to more positive, individualised outcomes for the young people and their families. The approach allows young people and their families to be in control of support planning and organising their lives beyond school with a mix of funding from health, social care and education according to individual needs. The focus is on the young person as a citizen with a contribution to make - not as a service user. The model is already being used in five other local authority regions in Yorkshire and the Humber. The implications of the model go far wider - to further reforms in adult social care, health care, education, children and families, and community development.
