Self Directed Services

This workshop looks at how self directed support has worked to date for people and families in the UK.  Focusing on what people and families have found did and did not work in the UK, it aims to explore the role of people and families in WA as self directed support develops.  The workshop will include lots of examples of how people are directing their support and what this is like in reality.

The workshop will cover:

• Where are we now in the UK
• The highlights, the low lights and the headlines
• What people want and self directed support
• Leading self directed support and why it matters
