These PowerPoint presentations were created by the Support in the Right Direction (SIRD) Project and Scottish Borders Council to be used as an e-learning module for social work staff.
Anyone who is interested in learning more about SDS legislation, its aims and its practice should hopefully find the information helpful.
It is hoped that it will be useful to third sector organisations, providers of social care and anyone working with people using social care in the Borders.
