LGBT+ Experiences of Self Directed Support

We are supporting Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland and Self Directed Support Scotland with their research project ‘My Support My Choice’.

The aim is to establish how Self-directed Support (SDS) is working in practice for social care users (people who get support or services paid for by the council so that they can do everyday tasks).

It is important that LGBT+ voices are included in the research and so we are running a focus group specifically for LGBT+ people who use social care. We are equally interested in the experiences of people who use social care, and those who have been told they do not meet the eligibility criteria for support.

Would you be willing to spend an hour or two sharing your experiences of being assessed for and managing SDS in a focus group?

Monday 27th January | 2-3.30pm
At Norton Park, 57 Albion Road, Edinburgh, EH7 5QY

Contributions are anonymous and information shared will be kept confidential by the research team.

If you would be willing to speak to us about your experiences of social care, we’d really appreciate it. If you’re interested in attending, please email Hannah Tweed at hannah.tweed@alliance-scotland.org.uk. You can also call our free helpline: 0800 1701 321 (Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 4.30pm).
