5. The Scottish Executive published the Changing Lives report in February 2006 which followed an independent review of Scottish social care. The report states clearly that doing more of the same in social work will not work and there is an expectation that organisations seek innovative approaches to ensure that individuals and communities get the support that is right for them. It also states that people who use services, and their family carers, will have more control over the services they are getting. www.socialworkscotland.org.uk.

21. Housing support services are services other than care or housing management services that enable a person to establish or maintain occupancy of a dwelling. These services are provided to help people live as independently as possible in their own homes. Housing support services come within the definition of community care services and therefore the 1968 Act allows disabled people to use direct payments to purchase these services. Housing support services might include services to help with home safety and security or to set up a new tenancy.
