Colleagues,
I attach the flyer for the Everyone Together course that is due to start next Wednesday (29 April). I’d be grateful if you could draw it to the attention of any staff who are or might be involved in implementing Self Directed Support with children and families.
The course is designed so that staff and families can learn together about how self directed support can be used to build on family strengths and ensure that they are fully included in deciding the kinds of services and provisions that could make a difference for them.
The course is highly interactive and participative and has been developed with people who use services as well as those who deliver.
If staff are interested but unable to make the dates, I’d be grateful if they could register an interest so that we can look at running this in a different way.
There will be an exhibition in the Community Shop in Pennywell Road over the next few days giving more information about self directed support.

A woman is in a critical condition following a living room fire in a Granton Mains flat yesterday.
Emergency services were called to Granton Mains East at about 5:45am.
Crews from Crewe Toll and McDonald Road wearing breathing apparatus rescued the woman from the blazing property. She received emergency first aid at the scene until ambulance crews arrived and took her to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
Police Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service are investigating the cause of the fire.
Local firefighters had earlier tackled a chip pan fire in a top floor flat in Great Michael Rise, Newhaven. The incident happened at around 1am. One man was in the flat at the time but he did not require medical treatment.
Muirhouse Millennium Community Centre
Saturday 2 May 11am – 3m
Edinburgh College Events Management students are planning, organising and staging a community fun day at Muirhouse Millennium Community Centre on Saturday 2 May.
Activities confirmed include bouncy castle, face painting, a treasure hunt, arts and carfs, raffle, cake and candy, photo booth, barbecue and carnival games!
Granton Campus student Jessica Beattie said: “We want to hold a Community Fun Day for people of all ages – we feel that by doing so we will manage to raise more money for the centre and it will be a chance to really bring the community together to celebrate in a fun, exciting way!”
All profits raised on the day will be donated to Muirhouse Millennium Centre, so go along – support the students, support your local community centre and have loads of fun too!
