THCC recognises that some people like to take a very active role in managing their own services (i.e. people want to choose the Support Worker they work with, when they are supported and exactly how support is delivered), while others need this support to be arranged and coordinated for them.
Therefore, THCC is offering two different types of support services:
♥ Self Directed Services (also known in the Disability Services Industry as the Shared Management Scheme)
♥ THCC Directed Services (also known in the industry as the Organisation Managed Scheme)
In order to establish these services, THCC performed a series of pilot studies to test the effectiveness of these services and to fine tune operational policies and procedures, as well as strategic plans before it is expanded to the general public.
