Choice and control
Already using Self-directed Support?
CareWithJohn can discuss arrangements where SDS funding is applicable. In Scotland, SDS is designed around choice, control and involvement in decisions about support.
Read the official SDS information →“The aim isn't to take over. It's to provide the right support so the person can do more of what matters to them.”
You can make an enquiry on behalf of someone else. Start by telling us what is happening and what you think would make life easier.
