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.
What is different about this Plan
We know that when it comes to SDS improvement, some pieces of work are complex and take time to embed consistently in order to make a real difference. This Plan builds on the important progress made by the previous Plan.
Many of the activities of each theme will therefore span multiple years. To ensure transparency, every year (before the end of July to report on the activities undertaken during the previous financial year), an annual progress report will be written by the Scottish Government and agreed by the National SDS Collaboration, to report on progress on activities undertaken.
The Plan also reflects the consensus among the Collaboration that in a very challenging budgetary and operational context for social care in Scotland, prioritisation of themes and activities has been – and will continue to be in future years – necessary for the Plan to be delivered. The Plan aims to set out priorities in a clear and helpful way, and to ensure that there is regular and appropriate reporting, monitoring and evaluation of what is being done.
