The Government is committed to expanding the use of personal budgets – in the NHS, in relation to
services to help people get back to work, for disabled children and for disabled and older people.
The aim of personal budgets is to enable people to exercise choice and control over the help they need. However, choice is only a reality if the services and types of support that people choose are available. Hence, what are the implications of the trend towards personalisation for those who provide services – both the organisations and the front line staff who deliver services?
This publication is a write-up of the public policy seminar ‘Impact of personal budgets on third sector providers
of social care’.Held on 24 February 2009, the seminar aimed to explore the likely impacts of the introduction of personal
budgets on third sector organisations. Organised by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and
the Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations (ACEVO), the seminar included speakers
drawn from the academic research community and practitioners from third sector organisations.
