Vision Statement

by Rebecca - November 21, 2008 – 12:24 pm

The vision statement for Self Directed Support is:

We will place citizens of Nottinghamshire at the heart of a reformed social care system which will enable them to have greater choice and control over their lives.

We believe that every individual should be able to:

  • Live as independently as possible
  • Make their own choices to achieve their personal goals and aspirations
  • Take appropriate risks
  • Live their lives free from abuse and neglect
  • Maximise their health and well-being.

We will work in partnership with service users, carers and other involved agencies to ensure that high quality and personally tailored services are delivered by putting the individual at the heart of their assessment experience and the introduction of Personal Budgets.

We believe that this will offer people more choice, flexibility and control in achieving their desired outcomes.
