The Support in the Right Direction (SiRD) programme provides local independent support, advice and advocacy in line with the Scottish Government’s vision for Self-directed Support.
Independent support is integral to social care and without it, many care users and carers would struggle to access the support they need and make use of it in the way they would like.
This report has been produced using the progress reports provided by SiRD funded organisations and covers the six-month period April to September 2023.

We have some top tips and best practice on how you can find suitable trustees for your charity.
