Our #SiRD2021 Year 1 review also shows how independent support helps people and carers know about and access community based support and resources, as well as manage a social care budget #SelfDirectedSupport #ChoiceandControl
People have also fed back that independent support and advocacy has helped them to cope with their condition or caring situation better. Having consistent support to navigate their social care needs helps people feel listened to and less stressed #SiRD2021 #SelfDirectedSupport
