- or have in place a personal budget which meets all the following criteria:
- 1. The person (or their representative) has been informed about a clear, upfront allocation of funding, enabling them to plan their support arrangements; and
- 2. There is an agreed support plan making clear what outcomes are to be achieved with the funding; and
- 3. The person (or their representative) can use the funding in ways and at times of their choosing.
