Self-directed Support: Draft Guidance on Care & Support - Easy-Read Summary

Introduction

The Scottish Government has written guidance to help professionals and others understand the new Self-directed Support Act and other social care laws.

The guidance covers support for children, adults and carers of any age.

The Scottish Government wants to find out if the guidance is clear and helpful. It wants to hear from anyone who gets support, carers, or any staff involved in providing support.

There are also draft Regulations (rules) with more information about the Self-directed Support Act. Please take a look at these too.

You will find them on the Scottish Government website at: www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2013/04/6823

Please send your views on this Guidance by 10 July 2013 to:

selfdirectedsupport@scotland.gsi.gov.uk

0131 244 5455

There is a Have your Say form and you can use extra pages too.

You must also fill in and send the Respondent form at the end of the Guidance.
