Vision
The quality of life of people who require care and support is improved through increased choice and
control over the services they receive.
'putting people at the heart..’
![Page 7: Self Directed Support for children and families (WS41)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55d55a9cbb61ebff4c8b45f1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What is self-directed support?• Care and support with choice and
control• Will become the mainstream form of
social care delivery in Scotland, i.e. everyone eligible for support will be offered it
• “Available to everyone but imposed on no-one”
• For anyone eligible for support - including children and families

outputs• Changes to assessment• Changes to the way budgets are calculated• People will be told the value of their budget• 4 options for budgets (DP, ISF, LA or mix)• Culture change
