Plan the life you want

Think about the life you want.

Include things you enjoy and things you want to try.

Your plan is about more than care services.

Choose who you want to help you plan.

This could include friends, family or people who support you.

Your wishes should stay at the centre of the plan.

Use the way of communicating that works for you.

You can use words, pictures, signing or communication equipment.

Ask for enough time and breaks.

Talk about what makes a good day for you.

Explain what makes a day difficult.

Talk about home, relationships, work, learning and activities.

Choose the changes you want to work towards.

Write down the next step for each change.

For example, you might want support to join a local group.

Agree who will help with each step.

Agree when they will do it.

Choose a date to check how things are going.

Agree which parts of your plan to share.

You can take it to meetings about your care or education.
