Disability Information for Greater Glasgow (DIGG)

DIGG aims to provide people who have a disability with the information they need to have control of their lives and to live life to the full. This project, funded by Greater Glasgow and Clyde NHS Board and The Big Lottery Fund, has set up an information and support network for patients and carers, mainly those with neurological and sensory conditions, within the Greater Glasgow area.

As well as a telephone and drop-in service we're developing online information tools covering all areas relating to disability. When completed this will build on the information we have already made available through the links below:

benefits | self assessment | services

We're always interested to here your views on this website, disability services in your area or any disability issue or if you would like to link to this site or highlight a relevant web site / event please contact us

NATIONAL GUIDANCE ON SELF-DIRECTED SUPPORT

This national guidance is based on the findings of three national working groups, the recommendations of the Scottish Parliament's Health Committee Care Inquiry, and a public consultation. It describes simple and effective schemes for self-directed support and is for use by local authority staff, support organisations and service providers. Local authority finance managers will wish to focus on section 9 on the financing of self-directed support.
Some service users, their families and carers may also find the guidance useful. Other publications provide a more accessible introduction for those exploring what self-directed support can deliver and how the day-to-day practicalities work.
