This is a new, user led organisation establishing itself in Barnet to deliver Right to Control for disabled adults who meet the criteria - as well as providing advice, information and advocacy for vulnerable adults with a variety of additional needs.
Right to Control merges a number of sources of funding and involves the development of tailored support plans that reflect an individual's interests, needs and aspirations. Peer support brokers will assist in sourcing and securing services and information so that the support plans can be implemented - and positive outcomes achieved. The aim is increased choice and independence for disabled adults in the first instance. Barnet are a trailblazer for Right to Control.
My role was in the recruitment of the BCIL service manager, which included design and implementation of a selection process based on key competencies. During the early days of the induction of the appointed manager there were some service development activities. Now we are in February - the next step is the development of materials to support the recruitment of the peer support brokers.
