The Government is keen that all families with disabled children have access to a personal budget by 2014, so that parents can use the funding they receive to choose they support they need tailored to their personal circumstances.
The charity says that many families have a limited understanding of what a personal budget is, how it can be accessed and what it could be used for.
The handbook for parents and carers of disabled children contains information and advice about what personal budgets are and how they can be used. Guidance for commissioners on how to commission for personalisation has also been published.
