Self-directed Support: Draft Guidance on Care & Support - Easy-Read Summary

Section 6 Monitoring and review

Sometimes a person's needs will change or they will ask for another assessment.

If so, there should be a review. This is another look at the person's needs and outcomes.

Local councils should try to carry out reviews for each person every year.

A review can look at:

• the person's needs and outcomes
• how the person gets support.

If the review looks at the person's needs and outcomes, it will also look at how the support is arranged.

Sometimes a person will decide that they want to choose a different option or a different service. This person does not always need a review of their needs. The professional can work with them to arrange a different option or service.

Think about the information in Section 6. Is it clear?
