In Control home

Photo of Ben and a mate by Charlotte MorseWelcome to the In Control home page. In Control started work in 2003 to change the social care system in England. The old system did not put people in control of their own support or life.

In Control designed a new system - Self-Directed Support. The Government now wants all local authorities to change their systems to Self-Directed Support.

Today In Control Partnerships is a social enterprise - a charity and an independent company. It works in partnership with citizens and government, and with charities and commercial companies.

In Control’s mission is to help create a new welfare system in which everyone is in control of their lives as full citizens. For more information, click on the In Control button in the main menu at the top of this page.
