What SDS is (and what it isn’t)
1. Personalisation ≠ Self-directed support
2. Self- directed support ≠ Direct Payments
3. It is based on meaningful choice and control
4. It is a means to an end (in Scotland)5. It is effective (but it won’t save
money)6. It is not a revolution (don’t panic…)
The terrain: barriers for mental health
• Low awareness• Stigma and self- stigma• Professional nervousness (process and capability)
• Lack of mental health stories and role models
• Health route (not necessarily social work)• Small support packages and use of non- SDS services e.g. drop-in, crisis centres.
• Involuntary admission= disempowering• Experience of certain mental health problems- feels like control isn’t possible.
The map: what we did
1.Initial meeting
2. Really small survey (n=4)
3.Bring Your Own Evidence (BYOE) session
4.NHS Lothian literature review
Bring Your Own Evidence (BYOE)
•Something that convinces you about SDS
•Mosaic not hierarchy
•9 participants
Being convinced- “It’s not logic, captain…”
•Multiple influences on what we ‘count’ as evidence
What my boss wants…who I’m talking to…what I read last…the media…how I feel…what I know…my background…my experiences
The evidence we talked about
• Lived experience (service user and carer)
• Falkirk Mental Health Respite Vouchers Pilot
• NHS Lothian SDS Pilot• IBSEN study (mental health data only)• NHS Lothian Literature review• “Self- directed support A review of the barriers and facilitators” (2011)
• Scottish Government• Potential pieces of work (SRN, NHS Highland)
Method: Exploring the evidence
1.What stood out?2.What happened?3.Who was
involved?4.What made it
work/not work?5.What questions
did it not answer?
Method: thinking about quality
• Does it convince me?
• Based on the SCIE/Keele Protocol
• Evidence shopping• ‘Yes Minister’ syndrome
What we found…
• Create accessible information about mental health and SDS.
• Don’t make stigma based assumptions about people’s ability to cope and thrive with their own budget.
• Develop strong stories of mental health recovery and SDS.
What we found(2)• Need know more about what happens in the long term.
• Need to hear the individual’s whole story from start to finish.
• What worked and what didn’t.• Larger groups of people• stories from people who know’ • ‘stories that let us see SDS is possible’
What we would do differently
• Separate sessions 1.Raise awareness2.Collect experience
3.Analyse evidence• More time!• Clearer briefing for participants.
