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 will be resourced
The majority of resource that goes into the delivery and improvement of SDS is determined from local authority budget setting. Additionally, Scottish Government has allocated a total Budget of £7,547,000 for financial year 2023-24 to support SDS Improvement.
This funding will be distributed to delivery partners based on their involvement in the Improvement plan as detailed in individual grant agreements, to be monitored and managed by the Scottish Government SDS Improvement Team. This allocation also includes £3.696m of ‘transformation funding’ made available directly to local authorities for investment in SDS improvements.
Scottish Government funding for activities beyond the financial year 2023-24, building on Year 1 outputs and new workstreams, will be subject to future budgetary decisions.
