A personal budget is an amount of money that is identified to meet some of the needs and outcomes described in the EHCP. During the EHC assessment process, or when an EHCP is reviewed, parents/carers or a young person (over the age of 16) can request a personal budget to support some of the outcomes in the EHCP.

Further information about personal budgets and how to request one will be available during the EHC assessment. There is also information available on the Bury Directory, which can be found here.
