in Control for Self-Directed Support and Individual Budgets

in Control is helping to change the system of social care. The problem with the system now is that many people are not in charge of their own support or life.

in Control is making a new system - people know what they are entitled to and can control their money as much as they want. This system is called Self-Directed Support.

in Control stands for

in Control believes people who need support can control their own lives and be full citizens - using Individual Budgets as part of their Self-Directed Support.

People in control

in Control is a unique partnership between families, individuals, services, local authorities, Government and many other organisations.

All these people are working together to define best practice in Self-Directed Support and Individual Budgets - and change the whole system.

Optimism and concerns

in Control is encouraged by how Self-Directed Support works so far. But it will be a better system if we build in answers to people’s concerns. Throughout the website you’ll see that the system has changed several times. It will keep changing as we all discover more.
