Personal Budgets & Direct Payments Policy & Guidance

Overview

Havering has developed draft Personal Budgets and Direct Payments guidance and policies to allow Parents, Families, Carers and Partners to gain a better understanding of, and increasing the use of Personal Budgets and Direct Payments.

The drafts developed to date follow discussion with Parents, Families, Carers and Partners as well as an analysis of the equivalent documents of other Local Authorities to help determine the best approach for Havering.

The draft Personal Budgets and Direct Payments guidance and policies were approved by Cabinet on 10^th October 2018. At that meeting Cabinet asked that both sets of draft guidance and policies would be subject to appropriate consultation. 

Havering are seeking views from Parents, Families, Carers and Partners on these draft guidance and policies.
