Self Directed Support is part of the Transforming Your Care strategic approach to developing Person Centred Services. It is a pathway where individuals are enabled and encouraged to have more choice and control in how their care and support is provided. Self Directed Support is available as a way to meet the needs of individuals who access social care in both children and adult services. This series tells the service users story on how self-directed support can improve health, wellbeing and maintain independence at home and gives listeners a unique insight into how the process could benefit those currently in Northern Trust arranged support.
