A project by Inspire Community Coaching and Social Care Ideas Factory, The Self-Directed Support Series looks at creative ways sharing peoples stories about their experience of Self-Directed Support/ Personalisation, in order to inspire others to take up the scheme and manage their own budgets. The project is aimed at both people receiving support as well as those involved in their care and highlights some of the hurdles which have had to be overcome by both individuals and organisations involved, as well as the benefits that the new Self-Directed Support Bill brings to those who receive it.
