Self-directed Support Framework of Standards

It is the role of leaders within local government and partnerships to ensure that local systems and culture support their social work workforce (8). [...] How to: ● Partners should work together to produce a plan that is core to the principles of wider Adults’ and Children’s legislation, and is reflected in GIRFEC and GIRFE. [...] How to: ● It is important that people know that they have a plan and that they have ownership of their plan, and are able to access or to have a copy of their plan. [...] Outcomes are agreed on the basis of what matters to the person or in achieving a child and young person’s potential. [...] ● Processes involved in accessing Self- directed Support should be as clear and straight forward as possible to ensure that the person remains at the centre of planning. [...] ● Training should be developed and offered to workers from across finance, legal, contracts, and procurement teams, to support the outcome of getting it right for communities. 7.6 Fair work remuneration is in place across the social care sector. [...] ● Social work practitioners are creative in their use of flexible commissioning approaches, and are not limited to matching people with existing commissioned services on framework. [...] 9.5 In the course of accessing support, people can see what is written about them and there is a timely response in providing access to this information. [...] Relationship-based practice supports this. ● People should be able to see information written about themselves whenever this is requested through an easy and timely process. 9.6 Children, young people, families, supported people and carers have a voice in the development of policy and practice. [...] How to: ● Children, young people, families, supported people and carers should be leading, or at the centre of, planning and decisions made about their health or social care support since they are best placed to know what they need as they transition from one service to another.
