ISFs in Action - to be published on 7 March 2012

This report describes one of the most important and ground-breaking initiatives in the development of personalisation in adult social care. By working in partnership a service provider, Choice Support, and a local authority, Southwark Council have:

• Broken down a large block contract for 83 people into individual budgets
• Created Individual Service Funds (ISF) for more flexible services
• Begun creating better and more empowering services for those they serve
• Developed a more dynamic and respectful relationship between a service provider and commissioner

This report is the first of three short research reports outlining progress and describing the steps necessary to make the changes.
