Self-directed Support: Draft Guidance on Care & Support - Easy-Read Summary

An easy-read summary of the draft guidance that accompanies the Social Care (Self-directed Support) (Scotland) Act 2013.

The Self-directed Support Act is part of a group of laws that cover social care in Scotland.

The laws contain both:

Duties - things local councils and health services must do

Powers - things local councils and health services can do if they wish

The Guidance explains all the powers and duties in the social care laws, not just in the Self-directed Support Act.

It tries to give practical advice to staff working in health and social care services.

Staff must use the Guidance when they do their jobs. They must not ignore it without a good reason.
