Self Directed Support
We are committed to supporting people to look forward to mental wellbeing
with recovery focused support.
Self directed support (SDS) became law on 1 April 2014 and we believe
it gives people more choice, control and the empowerment to live the lives
they want to live.
SDS allows people, their carers and their families to make informed choices
on what their support looks like and how it is delivered, making it possible
to meet agreed personal outcomes.
