Alastair from @InControlScot kicks off the discussion of what needs to change - listening to the person as to what works for them, a system that changes to fit to the individual rather than the other way around. @ESRC @ImpAdultCare @JonGlasby #homesnothospitals

Inspiring Scot SDS@InspScotlandSDS4 Jun 2024
Thanks to @kaysallen for championing SiRD at Scottish Parliament and sharing how important it is for people to have independent support when accessing social care. It was great to also hear from our friends @SDSScot @InControlScot and @socworkscot about their work to improve SDS.
Inspiring Scotland@InspiringSland4 Jun 2024
Today our @InspScotlandSDS team gave evidence to the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee. They shared their experience of being national delivery partner to the SDS Improvement Plan and the vital role of independent support in accessing social care.

Aiming for an environment where people and practitioners are equal partners in doing the right thing is an inspiring aim, which was of course also central to the introduction of SDS in 2013. We appluade @InControlScot work to ensure this is achieved in much greater numbers.
