    It is too late to book a place for this particular session, sorry about that.

    With the introduction of Self-Directed Support provision is becoming more personalised and focused on meeting individual outcomes.

    Recent research by Providers and Personalisation (P&P) highlighted some of the different approaches providers are taking and the challenges for the workforce in moving to a more personalised support model. 

    This event will explore the importance of promoting the values of Self-Directed Support (SDS) and maintaining the rights of workers through the Fair Work Agenda.

    Outcomes of the event:

    • Increased knowledge of the Fair Work agenda and how this fits with personalisation and choice and control for supported people;
    • Increased awareness of the enablers and barriers for the delivery of Self-Directed Support through personalised workforce practices; and
    • Increased understanding of SDS.

    Please note registration, tea and coffee will be available from 9.30am and the event will start at 10.00am. A networking lunch will be available after the event from 1.00pm. Places for this event may be limited and will be prioritised for voluntary sector support providers to attend.
