Local authorities and providers need to demonstrate the
difference that personal budgets are making to people's lives and
to put in place independent processes to check that outcomes are
being met.
POET (Personal
Outcomes Evaluation Tool), developed by In Control and Lancaster
University is the most developed and actively used tool for
checking the success of personal budgets. Its aim is to provide a
national benchmark on the impact that personal budgets are having
on people's lives.
Using POET we published the first ever National Personal
Budget survey, commissioned by Think Local, Act Personal. This
free webinar session will focus on the results of the National
Personal Budget Survey and what this means for your organisation.
It will also demonstrate how POET can enable organisations to
review their delivery of self-directed support; identify good
practice and areas for learning; inform strategic planning and
increase local accountability.
It will be a short, focused presentation with the opportunity to
ask questions afterwards.
Who should attend?
This webinar is relevant for anyone interested in demonstrating
the difference that personal budgets are making to people's lives
and checking the impact of service provision and whether outcomes
are being met.
