{ Safe and sound } is an idea for a new, multi-faceted service designed for people managing their own disability support through the Ministry of Health Individualised Funding scheme or ACC direct payments.
People opting into this method of support do so because they are looking for customised support to fit their lifestyle, which current home-based support services struggle to provide. However, it does involve the responsibility of employing one or more people.
{ Safe and sound } is a collaborative initiative led by Philip Patston and DiversityNZ.com, which aims to provide simple, effective, affordable support that you can buy with personal funding.
So far we've had 7 expressions of interest. It would be great to double or even triple that number before we send out a questionnaire to find out more about people's needs and how we can best meet them.
