| Annotation | This guide has been produced for councils and their partners to assist in developments for increasing older people's choice and control over their support. It particularly focuses on those elements of personalisation associated with making personal budgets work well for older people and their families. Although the main focus is on the flexible use of social care funding, there is huge potential for person-centred approaches to be adopted by services and organisations supporting older people who are not eligible for council funded support. The thinking and approaches to the guide were informed by a series of co-production events held in spring and early summer 2009. The aim was to learn from a diverse range of people what personalisation means to them, and how they are making developments associated with personalisation work well with and for older people. People leading local initiatives and new approaches, including older people's groups and networks as well as statutory, voluntary and private sector organisations, worked together to identify features of practice that will help others.
