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..’
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
