Personalisation

Welcome to the personalisation pages. These pages are run by Develop's self-directed support inclusive practice forum. This is a partnership of organisations and individuals with an interest in promoting self-directed support by people with mental health problems. This includes direct payments, living wills and advance directives - these are some of the tools that can be used to enable service users to have more choice, real flexibility and greater control over how their support is delivered.

Our forum meets on a quarterly basis to share information, advice and recommendations about implementing a service culture that promotes self-directed support.

What we have to offer:

• We share socially inclusive practice.
• Support developing projects that are implementing self-directed support.
• We run events.
• We offer training opportunities, can signpost you to others training ansd conferences and work on solutions to current local issues around to self-directed support.

In this section you will be able to find:

• Services that offer back-up to services that are encouraging self-directed support.
• Events about self-directed support.
• Evidence and policy - Government policy, implementation guides, access local policies and procedures and the evidence about how services can implement self-directed support effectively and efficiently.
• Guidance and tools that can be used in implementing self-directed support including service user and staff guidance leaflets.
• News - stories about people's experiences of self-directed support in the borough.
• A discussion forum - A place to ask questions, find support, give and get advice and share good practice examples on all matters to do with self-directed support.
• Training about self-directed support.
