Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage'

We work to promote the values and principles of Self-directed Support, including choice, control and flexibility, in all aspects of social care support. We do this by working collaboratively across the social care sector: with Scottish Government, Local Authorities, third sector organisations and our members, to improve Self-directed Support implementation in Scotland. As a membership organisation, we bring together those who share our vision and values, to amplify our collective voice around social care support issues. As a Disabled People’s Organisation (an organisation where at least 51% of the Board are either disabled people or/and people who are eligible for social care support), we stand up for the rights of disabled people and people who need support. And we champion local Independent SDS Support Organisations across Scotland, who help thousands of people every year access and manage the support they need to live well.

Objectives: To relieve the need of substantially or permanently physically, mentally or sensory impaired and other community care users by providing a forum for Self Directed Support Organisations throughout Scotland to work together to promote better outcomes for people receiving or considering Self Directed Support as a means to enabling independent living, improve their conditions of life and also facilitate their active participation in and full integration into society.
