| Annotation | Individual service funds (ISFs) were the first way personal budgets were used in the UK in the late 1990s for people with learning difficulties living in supportive living settings in Scotland. Personalisation is a key element of government policy for public services. This project was initiated to help people to make progress in homecare, one of the most challenging areas of adult social care to truly personalise. This paper explores what developing an ISF means within homecare, and provides examples that illustrate its effectiveness. The paper is published alongside a companion tool, 'Progress for providers: checking your progress in delivering personalised support for people living at home' (http://www.helensandersonassociates.co.uk/media/80... developed by the same group, which focuses on how providers can self-assess, plan and act to further personalise their support.
