Survey about Direct Payment Support in Sheffield

• Do you receive social care or health care support?

• Do you support someone who receives social care or health care?

If so Disability Sheffield would like your views on Direct Payment Support in Sheffield. We would like your views even if you do not receive a direct payment or fund your support as it is important to find out why people chose not to have a direct payment as well as the experiences of those who do have an direct payment.

We have developed a Direct Payment Support Service Survey to find out about your views and experiences:

Please help us by completing the survey by 14th December 2016

The findings will be used to help influence the support available for people in Sheffield who manage their own social care and health care support and the development of future direct payment support in the City.

On behalf of Sheffield Individual Employer & PA Development Group and in partnership with Sheffield City Council, Disability Sheffield have secured some funding from Skills for Care for this project. A steering group made up of people in receipt of social care and health care support, family carers, council and NHS officers and Disability Sheffield will be co-designing Direct Payment Support for the City using the findings from the survey, building on individuals’ experiences and looking at good practice in other parts of the country. In the New Year we will be inviting you to a meeting to share the findings and for you to have the opportunity to help us shape our proposals for Direct Payment Support in the City.

If you would like more information, help to fill in the survey or complete a paper copy of the survey, an easy read version or other format of the survey or to talk to someone about your experiences and views please contact Emily Morton by emailing emily.morton@disabilitysheffield.org.uk or telephone 0114 25364747.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.
