CITIZEN LEADERS As a Citizen Leader in the North East I believe that Citizen Leaders could help in the support and development of ULO’s. Citizen Leaders have worked in coproduction on various bits of work on Personalisation and used our expertise. Funding is needed to keep this going.

By sharing real life experiences it helps a Local Authority to understand the benefits that a person with an Individual Budget has been able to achieve and how this could happen under Personalisation. People other relate better to listening to someone’s experiences rather than just being faced with Powerpoint presentations which do not relate to real life experiences. This method can also provide for some co-production work to be undertaken and certainly has at ‘national level’. Sharing real life experiences
