Pen with tick

  • How much will I have to pay for my social care services?

  • Social care charges

  • Your care, your choice - self directed support

    The way that people receive social care has changed recently. One of the main changes is the introduction of self-directed support. Social care support is arranged using the self-directed support process. The new arrangements allow you to have more flexibility and choice in arranging the services you need, for example, who provides them and when they are provided. We recognise that you are in the best position to know what kind of support will enable you to live as independently as possible. It’s your care.... and your choice.
