Calling all commissioners – help us map the future of Self-Directed Support in England.
Action | 02.05.25
The Self-Directed Support Network is gathering a national picture of how Self-Directed Support (SDS) is being commissioned across England – and we need commissioners to help us understand what’s really happening on the ground.
Whether you’re leading innovation with Individual Service Funds or grappling with Direct Payments that aren’t quite working as they should, your experience matters — we want your insight.
Take the survey here - the survey takes around 30 minutes, quicker if you’ve got the info handy!
Self-Directed Support means people having real choice and control over their lives. But the reality depends on how commissioning is done – from contracts and provider relationships to how personal budgets are deployed.
We’re looking at how councils are supporting:
By completing the survey you’ll help us to identify: good practice, challenges, and opportunities for change. And, we’ll use the results to inform the SDS Network’s work and share learning across the country. We really appreciate your time and input. Together, we can build a stronger foundation for choice and control.
