Self-Directed Support

1. Right to Independent Living

I can get the support I need to be an independent citizen

2. Right to a Personal Budget

I know how much money I can use for my support

3. Right to Self-Determination

I have the authority, support or representation to make my own

decisions

4. Right to AccessibilityI can understand the rules and

systems and be able to get help easily

5. Right to Flexible Funding

I can use my money flexibly and creatively

6. Accountability Principle

I should tell people how I used my money and anything I’ve learnt

much; I’ve got something to contribute too
