What is Self-Directed Support?

Self-Directed Support (SDS) is available to anyone in Scotland who has been assessed as eligible for social care support by their local Health and Social Care Partnership.

SDS aims to give people as much choice and control as they want about how their support is organised, managed, and delivered. It is for people of all ages who are eligible for social care and support from their local authority.

Our Community Contacts project offers a helping hand with SDS in Argyll & Bute and Highland. It’s a pioneering initiative, shining a light on an often complicated world of social care support. For information on how to access Self-Directed Support in Argyll & Bute or Highland, visit our Community Contacts page, call us on 0300 666 3030, or email Becs Barker at becsbarker@carrgomm.org. 

For more information on how to access SDS, wherever you live in Scotland, visit our Self-directed support page
