Personal Brokerage
What is Personal Brokerage?
Personal Brokerage is the process that is used to encourage the development of innovative care packages by seeking proposals from a wide range of service providers for individual cases.
Who is it for?
Personal Brokerage is used to commission long term, respite and emergency care packages for service users with complex, unstable and unpredictable needs and risks. This includes the following Service User groups:-
- Physical Disability (including Acquired Brain Injury)
- Sensory Disability
- Learning Disability
- Mental Health
The process will be used to commission both social care placements and Continuing Health Care cases, on behalf of Health, where appropriate.
Why use this method?
Personal Brokerage has a number of positive outcomes for Service Users, Service Providers and Commissioners. We aim to achieve the provision of effective outcomes for people using services in their preferred local area. Providers are able to see what care is required and where, so locally available services may be developed.
