SELF-DIRECTED SUPPORT SCOTLAND

Self-directed Support Scotland arose out of this movement, starting life in the mid-2000s as the Scottish Consortium of Direct Payment Support Organisations (SCDPSO). We became a fully constituted charity in 2008, and secured funding from Scottish Government to support existing and developing Direct Payment management organisations... Our work has grown too, especially since the formal legislation enshrining Self-directed Support as the default approach to organising social care in Scotland came into force in 2014. As well as developing and promoting organisations who help people navigate SDS, we also develop resources, commission research and work with partners across the sector to improve the implementation of the law, playing a pivotal role in shaping national policy around social care support in Scotland... We work to promote the values and principles of Self-directed Support, including choice, control and flexibility, in all aspects of social care support.
