| Annotation | Judith Whittam, Individual Budget Pilot Adviser for the Care Services Implementation Partnership (CSIP) commissioned Angela Nicholls, a CSIP consultant to write this paper. It is based on discussion with representatives from eight of the Individual Budget pilot sites: Bath & North East Somerset, Barking & Dagenham, Barnsley, Kensington & Chelsea, Lincolnshire, Manchester, Oldham, and West Sussex. It notes examples of good practice on specific issues in relation to implementing IBs for older people: promoting a positive culture for introducing IBs; engaging older people; how IBs can make a difference to older people; how older people choose to use their IB; older people's preferred model of support; increasing the resources available through IBs; making the best use of staff resources; the role of brokers and support planners; simplifying processes and reducing bureaucracy; ensuring older people have access to accurate information; involving voluntary organisations and older people's groups; and the impact of IBs on providers.
