Grampian Opportunities in Inverurie are pleased to have been one of the organisations to receive Support in the Right Direction (SiRD) funding for 2024-2027 and they are delighted to offer this dedicated service in Aberdeenshire.
Self-Directed Support (SDS) is how Social Care in Scotland has been delivered since 2014 and the principles of SDS are that support is person-centred, and supported people and carers have choice.
Self-directed support is about giving people control of the support they receive, about the life they want to lead, to be included in every stage of the journey and to enable people to find more creative, personalised, and effective ways to achieve their needs and outcomes.
Grampian Opportunities SDS team can help you in the following ways:
- Providing advice and information about Self Directed Support and the four options
- Workshops and information sessions throughout Grampian
- Support before, during and after assessment and review
- Help to think about your support outcomes and make informed choices
- Development of a first draft support plan for your assessment
- Support with self-advocacy
- Peer support with respite activities
