UK Government Consults on New Approach for Disabled Facilities Grant Funding
The UK government has launched a consultation to revise the allocation of Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) funding to local authorities in England. This consultation is a crucial step in the government's ongoing mission to improve the DFG system.
The aim of the consultation is to develop a new approach that better aligns DFG funding with local demand. This will help support local authorities in meeting their statutory duty to provide necessary adaptations for disabled individuals.
The consultation, which is open to responses from local authorities across England, as well as organizations and individuals with an interest, is a follow-up to an independent review of the DFG system conducted in 2018. The review recommended updating the way the government allocates funding to local authorities.
The 2018 review, while not explicitly named in the provided search results, was significant in identifying areas for improvement in the DFG system. The consultation is part of the process to update the way the government allocates DFG funding to local authorities, fulfilling a commitment to review and consult on a new allocations formula in 2025, as stated in the Better Care Fund policy framework.
At this stage, the consultation does not specify a new approach for allocating DFG funding. However, it is clear that the government is committed to ensuring that funding is better tailored to meet local needs.
This consultation is a testament to the government's dedication to improving the DFG system and supporting those who require adaptations to live independently at home. Interested parties are encouraged to respond to the consultation to help shape the future of the DFG system.
