About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

It can sometimes be difficult to identify a way to support people with a local issue relating to the implementation of SDS. The Community Empowerment Act enables people to make a formal request to address identified local issues, through the making of a Participation Request.

This session will look at what a Participation Request is, who can make such a request, what you can make it about, what the rules relating to making requests are and what to expect from the process.

We will also explore how you can support people to take a local issue relating to SDS implementation, identify the Outcomes that they would like to achieve and how to meet the requirements for being a 'community of interest'.

Relevant resources will be identified as well as other sources of information and support that are available to people.

There are discounted places for SDS Scotland Members and full price tickets available for anyone else.

Self Directed Support Scotland

We work to promote the values and principles of Self-directed Support, including choice, control and flexibility, in all aspects of social care support.

We do this by working collaboratively across the social care sector: with Scottish Government, Local Authorities, third sector organisations and our members, to improve Self-directed Support implementation in Scotland.

As a membership organisation, we bring together those who share our vision and values, to amplify our collective voice around social care support issues.

As a Disabled People’s Organisation (an organisation where at least 51% of the Board are either disabled people or/and people who are eligible for social care support), we stand up for the rights of disabled people and people who need support.

And we champion local Independent SDS Support Organisations across Scotland, who help thousands of people every year access and manage the support they need to live a good life.
