Independent Living Courses
Rights based SDS (1 or 2 Days)
Self-directed support (personalised support/individual budgets) is driven from a human and civil rights based perspective. Participants are provided with thought provoking content to work through this new ethos within social care - moving from independent living to interdependent living and a rights based approach.
Introduction to Social Care
A comprehensive course designed to explore the provision and use of adult social care services (home care) in the UK.
Suitable for individuals or organisations.
Interdependent Living (Half day)
For many years disabled people have campaigned for independent living. That is the right to live fully inclusive citizenship with as much support as is required to do so. Whilst independent living principles still apply, we are now moving beyond this and beyond the Social Model of disability. This course enables people to understand the new approach of interdependent living where rights, responsibility and citizenship are bringing about disability equality.
Introduction to SDS (1 day)
A course designed to enable individuals, support organisations, local authorities and service providers to understand personalisation and some of the key concepts. This course is ideal for staff who are either new to working within social care or require a better understanding of personalisation.
