The Self-Directed Support Forum, East Renfrewshire is an organisation for anyone who is thinking about directing their own support or that of someone they care for. We also support individuals and families who are already directing an existing social care package. Self-Directed Support Forum have been delivering Information & Advice on Self-Directed Support since 2013 when the Scottish Government Legislation was implemented. This role involves working on person centred plans to achieve desired outcomes for those in receipt of a Self-Directed Support budget. This can involve liaising with the Local Authority Social Work department to achieve this in accordance with the Scottish Government legislation. We value our good partnership working with the Local Authority. We aim to inform individuals to empower them in decision making and also to support the Health and Social Care Partnership in implementing Self-Directed Support.
