Helping providers to change 2 day event
Helping providers to change
self direct believes that changes in the ‘social and health market-place’ should be driven by people who have personal experience of how social and health care services affect lives
Why we need to do these things: New and existing providers of support, services and products need to know what people with Individual / Personal Budgets want to buy and what people expect from them Providers also need to know how and what to change about the way they offer support or products to people who pay for themselves Finding new ways to free the people supported by providers of services from the ‘old system’ of block contracts, services bought in bulk by Local Authorities and Health Authorities, to a system of Self-Directed Support You can now read about the work we did with providers during 2008 and 2009 in our book 'Helping providers to change'
