| Annotation | Personalisation implies that services should no longer be commissioned en masse for user groups, rather that services, information and support will vary greatly between individuals. This paper explores some of the implications for housing providers and commissioners of supported housing. It looks at individual budgets (IBs), how they differ from personal budgets (PBs), and whether they will work, referring to findings of the Individual Budgets Evaluation Network (IBSEN). It notes the different stages in the development of social care since the Green Paper in 2005, leading to the 'Putting People first' ministerial concordat in 2007, as well as the introduction of Supporting People in 2003. Using the "milestones" developed by ADASS for transforming adult social care services, it seeks to answer questions on how housing commissioners and providers should approach IBs and personalisation.
