Dear Colleagues
A Self Directed Support Academy is to be established
With the 'personalisation' agenda now becoming a major priority, the big
challenge for services and for the people they support is how to make self
directed support work in ways that gives people real control over their
lives. To help with this challenge, CSIP have established a self directed
support (SDS) support plan.
Amanda Reynolds, Social Care Change Agent, CSIP Eastern would like to set
up an SDS 'academy', which would be made up of individuals who have
managed their own support using individual budgets, direct payments or any
other way, and who would themselves be interested in helping both other
people and services understand the benefits, and the best ways to develop
the opportunities in person centred ways. These academy members would be
involved in assisting CSIP with its SDS support plan by giving
presentations, helping with training, and advising those responsible for
implementing policy.
CSIP Eastern knows that one of the most powerful ways to increase learning
is to use the direct experiences of people involved in something to inform
best practice. Therefore if you know anyone who may be interested in such
a role, and with their permission please complete the expression of
interest form and return to Amanda Reynolds at CSIP Eastern, 654 the
Crescent, Colchester Business Park, Colchester CO4 9YQ or email to
amanda.reyno...@csip.org.uk
