1. My Conference “Making Self Directed Support Work For You”

2. Self Directed Support “ You may of heard it being referred to as personalisation or personal budgets. There are different ways to describe it, but whatever name is given to it – its about giving people real power and control over their lives” In Control – Paul Ferguson

4. The steps to SDS Assessment Make a plan Live your life

5. SDS – the four options 1.Own budget, own staff, complete control 2.Own budget, managed by an organisation, still have control over choice of service and how the service delivers 3.Ring fenced budget, managed by the local authority according to agreed outcomes 4.Combination of the three above

6. Outcomes “The final product or end result The consequence of doing something Something that follows from an action” InputsProcessOutputOutcomes

7. Outcomes focus; co- production; person centred planning Self directed support personalisation A fair and equal world for all Lots of words – how do they connect?

8. So how is this different to before? You choose the level of control you want over your budget You know how much your budget will be and decide how to spend it Direct Payments can now be used for more than services We focus on outcomes and not hours of support
