In Control has been working with the Family and Childcare Trust
and KIDs on a project to provide support and advice to parents and
carers about personal budgets. Making it Personal
is funded by the Department for Education and as part of the work,
the Family and Childcare Trust and KIDs are now asking Family
Information Services across the country to complete a survey about
personal budgets.
This national survey will help benchmark Family Information
Services and look at how they are contributing to the development
of the local offer and information for parents about personal
budgets. It also aims to find out what additional support would be
useful for Family Information Services and other service providers
ahead of the implementation deadline for introduction of personal
budgets for children with SEND in September 2014.
This survey will be extremely valuable in helping shape the work
of Family and Childcare Trust, KIDs, In Control and other partners
as they support families, Family Information Services and other
service providers with working through the challenges they face
leading up to September.
We therefore ask that as many as possible contribute to the
survey - anyone who is working with, or is part of their local
Family Information Service should take the time to complete the
survey and let us know how your Family Information Service is
involved in the development of information on personal budgets and
the local offer.
