About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

GIRFE is Scotland’s most recent approach to designing and delivering public services for young people and adults. This workshop will explore the underlying principles of GIRFE and how this has built on the experience of using the GIRFEC approach with children and families. It will look at the GIRFE Toolkit and consider how this approach may change the way in which people’s needs are identified and support provided, whilst also meeting the expectations of the SDS legislation.

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.
