What is Self Directed Support?
Redesigning the social care system so
that the people eligible to receive services
take control over them, at the level they
wish to.
Moving to a system where social care
users have the same ability as other
citizens to exercise choice and control
over their lives and the social care they
receive, enabling them to determine their
own outcomes, make their own decisions
and manage their risks.

What’s it all about?

Resource Allocation System (RAS)
 FACE Overview Assessment
Assessment
Scores
Resource Allocation
 Based on Daily Living
Activities and Risk scales
 System which identifies how
much money needs to be
allocated to meet the needs
of the individual. These
figures are based on current
expenditure and the scoring
system is weighted to enable
scores with higher need
areas to receive increased
funding
4
Individual Budgets (IB’s)
• Allocated amount of funding to meet a person’s
assessed needs.
• Can involve additional funding streams – Supporting
People; Disabled Facilities Grant; Independent Living
Fund; Access to Work
• National pilots outcome 2008:
 Typically used to purchase personal care, assistance
with domestic chores, and social, leisure and
educational activities.
 Little difference in average cost of an IB and the costs
of conventional social care support.
 People receiving an IB were more likely to feel in
control of their daily lives.
