self direct is a social enterprise dedicated to promoting changes in the 'social and health market-place’

we believe changes are needed in the 'social and health market-place' so that people who need support are in control of their support, their lives and live life in a way that's right for them, you can now join self direct as a member to play a part in making these changes happen

our book 'Helping providers to change' gives examples of how to make changes and how these changes can improve peoples' lives

we work in partnership with other like-minded people and organisations, like you2choose, to find new and imaginative ways to bring about the changes needed in the 'social and health market-place'

and most important of all, we believe that any changes should be driven by people who have personal experience of how social and health care services affect lives, like Sarah and her son Adam, read Sarah's blogs to find out how self directing your support really can transform lives
