Self Directed Support
The Scottish Parliament has passed a new law on social care support, the Social Care (Self-directed Support)(Scotland) Act 2013. The Act now gives you a range of options for how your support is delivered. It gives you the right to decide how much control and responsibility you want over your own support arrangements.
Self-directed Support is where you arrange some or all of your support instead of receiving services from your local authority Social Work Services. Self-directed Support gives you genuine control over the day to day support that you need.
Take Control is a Self Directed Support Service providing information and assistance to enable all eligible people to explore the 4 options for independent living.
We have a support service East Dunbartonshire, South Lanarkshire and North Lanarkshire.
