Target Group                                                                     
Disabled adults and older people who are eligible for Adult Social Care support from Leicester City Council and have been allocated a personal budget to meet their assessed needs.
A council-managed budget is the process where the Leicester City Council manages your personal budget for you and arranges your social care support

The service is also open to people who are in receipt of direct payments and to self- funders.

Arranging your support                                                    
You will need to discuss with your social care worker which of the services you need and wish to be arranged. Referrals are through the Independent Support Planning and Brokerage Service or the Council’s Care Management Teams.

If you live in the city you can visit Leicester City Council Adult Social Care to find out.

Self-Funders and people choosing to access the service using a direct payment or alternative methods of funding may self-refer
