These half-day events are primarily intended for Providers who need to understand what Individual Budgets & Self Directed Services are about and how they should prepare for them. The introduction of Individual Budgets/Self-Directed Services will represent a paradigm shift in the way our sector works and it is vital that Providers are informed and ready. These events will also be useful for SP team members and other service commissioners who want to gain an understanding of Individual Budgets and Self-Directed Services and what impact they will have on the way housing & support services work.

The Outcomes for these events include:

• An understanding of the background to and nature of Individual Budgets & Self-Directed Services
• A perspective on the impact of these arrangements on service users & providers and on the evolving housing related support & social care sectors
• An understanding of the evolving structure of the new way of buying and providing services
• An understanding of timescales for implementation
• An awareness of business planning & development, risk management, service "marketing" and organisational preparation
• Readiness for change
