6. Each case study includes data about the population of each area and the number or percentage of social care recipients that receive a personal budget under the different self-directed support options. This drawn from Scottish Government published data: https://www.gov.scot/publications/self-directed-support-scotland-2016-17/

Population data is based on National Records for Scotland’s mid-2017 population estimates (https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/statistics-and-data/statistics/statistics-by-theme/population/population-estimates/mid-year-population-estimates/mid-2017).

7. The principle of equivalence means that supported people are “given budgets based on the equivalent value of the services they would have got before SDS” (Audit Scotland (2017), ‘Self-directed Support: 2017 Progress Report, http://www.audit-scotland.gov.uk/uploads/docs/report/2017/nr_170824_self_directed_support.pdf)

8. The  accepted model detailed in “Talking Points: Personal outcomes approach” (Ailsa Cook and Emma Miller, 2012) identifies what should be discussed, how the conversation should be conducted, who should be involved and what should happen. (http://www.ccpscotland.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/practical-guide-3-5-12.pdf)

9. The service is purchased by the Council on behalf of an individual as and when needed on an individual basis

15. Under this model, a practitioner uses their judgement to decide what support they would normally provide to a person with social care needs and then use the monetary value of that service to calculate an indicative budget for the supported person (Learning Disability Alliance Scotland (2014), ‘Self-directed Support: The Start’, http://www.ccpscotland.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2015/01/The-Start-SDS-report-January-2015.pdf )
