SDS Network

Leading the global development of self-directed support

Everyone has the right to support that helps them be included as full and valued citizens within the community. Self-Directed Support (SDS) is the name for those supports. The SDS Network is the global network dedicated to improving awareness of best-practice in self-directed support and inclusion.

Governance

The founding governance for the SDS Network reflects the ongoing commitment of many individuals and organisations to create the network and the need to reflect the global growth of SDS in a balanced way. The initial governance will be based on countries and continental regions:

Asia-Pacific Region

Europe-Africa Region

Americas Region
