Our aim is to support the development of a sustainable system of self-directed support in Scotland where people are in control of and able to direct how, when, in what way and by whom they are supported. Our mission is the transformation of social care into a system of self directed support so that people get more control over their support and their lives and they are able to fulfil their roles as citizens. We promote and support the development of a sustainable system of self-directed support in Scotland. We work together with organisations, local authorities, people who need support and their families and provide opportunities and a framework to bring together good practice and to introduce new ways of working. We share what is working well and find new ways together to make changes and to help people get the lives they want. Most of the work we do is the support we provide to member organisations and local authorities. We also run events and provide support as part of the work funded by the Scottish Government to support the implementation of self-directed support. We believe people can be in control whatever type of help they may need and at any age. We are committed to developing a system of self directed support that will work for everyone.
