SDS APPLICATION SDS does not have a budget attached – we are working within existing budget constraints Options should be offered to people who have longer term, relatively stable and predictable needs for support e.g. Frailty Cognitive impairment Learning disability Physical disability Child with disability Where a person has needs that may be episodic but their recurrence has a degree of predictability

LOCAL DEVELOPMENTS Providers Forums Working with CVS, Your Voice and Circles Advocacy to promote SDS Staff training Training for unit managers Cross care group discussions

PROMOTING CHOICE A local authority must take steps to promote the availability of the options for self-directed support. Making available to the supported persons a wide range of support when choosing options for self-directed support, a local authority must, in so far as is reasonably practicable, promote- –a variety of providers of support, and –the variety of support provided by it and other providers e.g. In house Private/voluntary sector Personal Assistants Social Enterprises Etc.

DIRECTORY OF SERVICES Private and voluntary sector providers –Annual check of financial stability Public liability insurance Care Inspectorate gradings Community activities –Developed by CVS

INDIVIDUAL SERVICE FUND AGREEMENTS Updating Option 1 contract Option 2 –Developing a tri-partite agreement Between provider and service user Between provider and CHCP Between CHCP and service user

COMMISSIONING PLAN An important part of the development of SDS will be capturing: –Unmet need – where services are at capacity –Under-utilised services – where people are choosing something different –New and innovative ideas of support not currently available that would assist people to live longer as part of the wider community This should be made available through future commissioning plans so that providers can plan for future service developments.
