Self-Directed Support
1. Right to Independent Living I can get the support I need to be an independent citizen 2. Right to a Personal Budget I know how much money I can use for my support 3. Right to Self-Determination I have the authority, support or representation to make my own decisions 4. Right to Accessibility I can understand the rules and systems and be able to get help easily 5. Right to Flexible Funding I can use my money flexibly and creatively 6. Accountability Principle I should tell people how I used my money and anything I’ve learnt 7. Capacity Principle Give me enough help, but not too much; I’ve got something to contribute too
