Annotation	The recent report from the Individual Budget Evaluation Network (IBSEN) found that IBs worked well for most groups. In the first of three articles, a Network member discusses the findings and suggests that IBs will be seen as central to the transformation of social care, being based on experiences of direct payments and In Control. Councils participating the IB pilots dealt with four main challenges: allocating resources fairly and appropriately; establishing boundaries in dealing with concerns about use of public funds; meeting responsibilities in safeguarding vulnerable groups; and problems with integrating funding streams.
