The local authority should support individuals and their families to make informed decisions about how their care and support are planned and commissioned. This will include the individual’s rights to care provision that is tailored to their unique needs, wishes and preferences.

In addition, individual or their families may need support to decide who manages their personal budget (e.g. either by the local authority, a service provider or themselves in the form of direct payments). They may also need guidance relating to the allocation of their direct payments – we have already seen how brokers can help with this.

If individuals do not have the mental capacity to make decisions about their care planning, they may need support from a family member or an independent advocate.
