Quarterly Network Sessions

In Control Scotland are running a series of online Quarterly Networks for people interested in self-directed support. We  hold two sets of networks, one which focuses on SDS for children and families, and one for SDS more generally, and they are open to anyone who is working in self-directed support, using social care, or caring for someone. The aim of these sessions are to give people the opportunity to share examples of good practice from their work or lives, and to bring challenges they might be facing for support and ideas to reach better solutions. 

 

These sessions will be best suited to people who have a good understanding of self-directed support, either through work, lived experience, or caring for loved ones. If you’re new to SDS, we’d recommend either signing up to any future 'Getting to Grips with Self-Directed Support' half day training session (information on our next sessions will be shared soon) or joining our lunchtime sessions, (returning in September 2023) which take attendees through a programme of learning more about SDS.
