Background:
|
The JIP in Yorkshire and Humber was formed in early 2007, and over a period of six months developed the “People Matter” strategy. This has a number of key objectives aimed at allowing people to live their own lives as they choose using services which are high quality, safe and promote independence, well-being and dignity.
The central planks of the ‘People Matter’ strategy are Personalisation, Commissioning, Improving Performance and Efficiency.
This project is within the scope of the regional programme for Personalisation for the Yorkshire & Humberside which was originally developed by the In Control’s Regional Forum. The overall regional programme for personalisation provides a framework for responding to all the four quadrants of personalisation and offers a framework of distinct work-streams by which to drive forward commissioning and personalisation across the region.

Outcomes:
|
The overall aim is:
To have a common framework for support brokerage across the region that facilitates support for planning, brokerage and management of budgets.
Key outcomes include:
Ø People directing their own support within the Yorkshire and Humber Region have access to good support systems.
Ø Support systems are efficient and effective
This project is integral to the Personalisation – an effective support system is crucial for those people directing their own support, without such a system people will become disillusioned.
