This Support in the Right Direction (SiRD) Impact Report outlines work and impact delivered by funded organisation from October 2018 to March 2024.
During this time, 31 organisations received funding of £15.8 million to provide independent support to people navigating the social care system, helping them make informed decisions about their support. Over 97,000 people were informed about their rights regarding social care, and 17,747 cases were supported on an individual basis.
The report includes information on what was delivered and achieved with the funding and shares the context and evidence of the need for independent support, so that people can have choice and control over their social care.
