Supporting and Developing the Workforce for ISFs

This guide from Skills for Care was developed over several months by the South West Individual Service Fund Network and several Fellows of the Centre for Welfare Reform.

Publishers: Skills for Care

This guide from Skills for Care was developed over several months by the South West Individual Service Fund Network, made up of a range of organisations and several Fellows of the Centre for Welfare Reform. 

It is in essence a distillation of all the Network has learnt around implementing Individual Service Funds (ISFs) in Dorset, Devon and the South West over the past 3 years. 

The guidance maps out key lessons learned, case studies showing how ISFs have transformed lives and some of the main learning outcomes from work by members of the Network, that can be used to support other organisations to develop an ISF offer of their own.

NB. Please note some of the links within the guide are not functioning - many resources on ISFs are available in the Centre's own Library here, including Individual Service Funds (ISFs) and Contracting for Flexible Support: practice guidance to support implementation of the Care Act 2014.
