HI Derrick

I wouldn't get it in France obviously but I was curious as I
had never heard of it. They probably have a similar scheme
over here.

Adrien

Hi Adrien
sds is "Self directed  support"

It works like this:

  First you need an assessment by  social services.
This  is to establish what sort of help and support you
need.
What  are you not able to  do that you want to  do?
Think about home life,  as well as  social life.

Once the  assessment is over, you may then be offered
funding
(known as  a personal  budget)
You  can then use  this budget  to pay for Human help  (ie
employ  someone)
Or  r pay a care  agency.
You  can also  use the money for  equipment.
You  must  keep records,  and account for the money.

Do a search  on your local  social  services  web stie
Fpr  more details.
Rega rds,  Derek
