Can we Make it Real for carers in self-directed support?

Blog written by Moira Fraser, Director of Policy at Carers Trust; " We have long since moved to the position where it's regarded as unacceptable that both people with care needs and carers, have to accept one-size-fits-all services which take no account of how they wish to live their lives. This applies as much to people who fund their own care, as it does to the (sadly ever diminishing proportion of) people who have support funded for them by their local authority.

A year ago, a document called Making it Real was produced to show what this means, and its principles can't be argued with."
