What is Utilisation?

In plain English

How much of your plan funding you have actually spent. Low utilisation can be a sign you need help putting your plan into action.

Utilisation is how much of your plan funding you have actually spent. Low utilisation, where a lot of funding is unspent, is common and is often a sign that a participant needs help putting their plan into action. It can also affect future plans, so it is worth watching. If your utilisation is low, a support coordinator or plan manager can help you use your plan more fully.
