| Annotation | Individual Budgets (IBs), piloted in 13 English local authorities, aimed to give greater flexibility, choice and control. Although primarily intended to benefit chronically sick, disabled and older people, IBs could also be expected to affect carers. The study investigated the impact of IBs on carers in terms of assessment, support, planning, costs and outcomes. This summary outlines findings regarding carers' receipt of support and services, and their involvement in assessment, support planning and managing IBs, as well as implications for policy and practice. The summary and full report are available from the websites of the Social Policy Research Unit, University of York and the Personal Social Services Research Unit, University of Kent, who conducted this follow-up study.
