The provision of care and support is changing radically; in 2007 the Government announced the introduction of personal budgets. In November 2010 its Vision for Adult Social Care the Government reiterated its commitment to personalisation and said that personal budgets should be provided to all eligible people by 2013. These changes impact specifically on those who have services provided by or funded by the local authority, but the issues surrounding the difficulty of purchasing your own care are support exist for both funded individuals and those who pay for their own care and support. You're the Boss exists to make a positive social impact, looking out for the most vulnerable people in society and those who help them. We help people to get the support they need to stay well, living where they want to live and being who they want to be. You're the Boss offers tools and resources for people who need or provide care and support You're the Boss was created by Nichola Goom and Chloe Carey to help address some of the issues that are there for people who need care and support and people who provide care and support. Vision for the Future This current website is just phase one, it provides lots of free information to anyone who needs and care support or provides care and support. Much of the information is available to the public, some of the information requires individuals to become registered users, free of charge. Phase Two - will bring additional content and functionality. It will provide a one stop shop containing all of the resources that service users and people who provide care and support will need to operate in a personalised environment. This will include policies and procedures, recruitment support, timesheets, accounts and marketing tools. This will be the subscription part of the site. At the moment we're busy trying to raise the necessary funding to enable phase two to become a reality. If you're interested in investing or just want to talk to us further about developing phase two please contact us!
