Resource Allocation System (RAS)

The FACE RAS is the world’s first fully automated resource allocation system and is supported by all major social care suppliers

The FACE RAS is the UK’s most accurate and widely used resource allocation system. We have worked with 25 councils to develop a sustainable, universal approach to resource allocation that is both scientifically validated and flexible in local implementation.

Financial sustainability

Councils using the FACE RAS have reported that its use has enabled them to make significant cost savings. Our data clearly demonstrates that the level of accuracy achieved by the FACE RAS can make a major contribution to sustainability in the difficult years ahead.

Fast-track set up

Our fast track set up enables councils to have an operational RAS up and running from Day 1 and a fully calibrated RAS tailored to local circumstances in just a few weeks.

Easy to update

The ongoing management of a RAS presents a significant challenge. A RAS needs to be updated annually and have the potential to be re-calibrated easily as local financial and market circumstances change. We have produced powerful easy to use software designed to enable updating and configuration of each council’s local RAS.

…generates consistently accurate and realistic budgets.

Mike O’Driscoll, Financial Services Manager, East Sussex County Council

What participants say...

The FACE RAS would seem to be the most robust RAS tool available on the marketplace today … we have been really impressed by the approach…… Furthermore the support and dedication of staff has been consistently high….FACE represents excellent value for money when building a robust workable RAS either through internal or external resources. Jon Ray, Project Manager, Oxfordshire County Council

The integration of the FACE RAS with the FACE Assessment toolset has simplified the process for individual budgets at Ealing. Once a FACE Assessment is completed an accurate RAS can be calculated without needing additional scoring tools. Integration with our Social Care system means that information can be more easily shared across assessment and support planning. Paul Oppe, Programme Manager,  Ealing Borough Council

We value the sound evidence based approach which underpins the FACE approach to RAS development. FACE has an established track record of work with both social services and health trusts. Iseult Cocking, Derbyshire County Council
