Resource Allocation System

• At this stage the personal budget is an notional budget to start planning with

• Only when the support plan has been signed off by the local authority will the resource be a final agreed budget until next review

What can the Budget be used for?

Anything . . . . . . . . . . .as long as it is:

• Lawful• Sustainable• Does not put the individual (or anyone else)

at risk• Not being used to fund services that can be

provided by another source• Meets eligible social care needs in the most

cost effective way
