This policy has been written in response to the Department of
Health Guidance on the introduction of personal budgets, and the
requirement to have a Fairer Contributions Policy to deal with the
assessment of service user contributions.
A needs assessment and calculation of how much the personal
budget might be will take place, and this will be the designated
indicative amount. A financial assessment will then be carried out
in accordance with the Council Fairer Contributions Policy to
determine the maximum amount that the service users may be liable
to contribute.
