Self-directed support: improvement plan 2023 to 2027
Plan for all those with a role in ensuring people experience high quality social care in line with the principles and values of the Self Directed Support (SDS) Act 2013. The Plan identifies four outcome areas reflecting where improvements in how SDS is delivered are most needed.
How the Plan relates to the SDS Standards
The SDS Framework of Standards was produced following extensive consultation in 2021.
The Standards describe what good SDS looks like and are intended for use by Local Authorities to support them by providing an overarching structure, aligned to legislation and statutory guidance to guide further SDS implementation and practice. The Plan also includes work to review the existing Standards and ensure they are capturing everything necessary for good SDS.
While we have included them in this Plan to describe what good looks like according to our current understanding, this may change if Standards are further developed.
