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.
