Right to Control

Between 11 June and 30 September 2009, the Government carried out a national consultation on the Right to Control and sought views on how disabled people can take control of the support provided to them through wide-ranging individual budgets.

Eight areas will test Right to Control

On 25 February 2010, the government announced the eight local authority areas that will test the Right to Control. They are:

• Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council and Sheffield City Council
• Essex County Council
• Greater Manchester, this includes Manchester City Council, Oldham Council, Bury Council, Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council and Trafford Council
• Leicester City Council
• London Borough of Barnet
• London Borough of Newham
• Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council
• Surrey County Council (Epsom and Ewell Borough Council and Reigate and Banstead Borough Council).

Trailblazer authorities, which include Jobcentre Plus, will continue working with disabled people and service providers in their area, to decide how to test the Right to Control. Trailblazers will start before the end of 2010.
 

Personalisation, prevention and partnership: transforming housing and supported living

Between November 2008 and February 2009, over 400 stakeholders came together across the country for a series of seminars called “Transforming care and support - housing matters”. The events were organised through a positive partnership between Sitra and Housing Learning and Improvement Network (LIN) to highlight best practice and explore the implications of transformation

This paper captures the views of a wide range of practitioners and policy makers working within housing and supported housing as part of the debate around how to deliver the aims of the Government’s Putting People First agenda for the transformation of care and support.
