Valuing People Newsletter - Self Directed Support and Families

The latest newsletter is about some of the important things families of people with a learning disability need to know to have more choice and control in their lives.

The focus is on families and ‘self directed support’, or what has been more 

recently called Personalisation. 


The aim of the newsletter is to try and give families some information about 

personalisation and the different ways that it can help people have more 

choice and control in their lives. This is done through stories from 

families who are already ‘doing’ self directed support. 


The Valuing People Support Team asked the families a number of questions


• What made you try self directed support? 

• How has it changed your family’s life? 

• Have you had to overcome challenges along the way and how? 

• Do you have any top tips for other families? 


Follow the link below to download the report and find out what the families had to say:
