There is a lack of awareness and knowledge of self direct support that needs to change. Self directed support needs to be fostered and funded as a real option for families. @killaney

Do you direct your own care or support or that of a family member or are you considering doing so? @incontrolorg & @CareCityUK with support from @HealthFdn are exploring the role new technology could play to support people to do so. We'd love to hear your views and ideas 1/

[#socialcarefuture @socfuture]

Do you direct your own care & support, or on behalf of someone else, to have more choice and control? Interested in thinking about how new technology could support you to do so? Please help by completing this survey 👇

@incontrolorg & @CareCityUK need your help. Working on digital resources to help people who direct their own support, we want to understand where support is most needed & refine how it can be offered. Pls take our survey before 28th July. 🙏
