Everyone has the right to make choices about how they live and how their support is provided. This film shows how people with care and support needs can be supported to have choice and control. Three examples shown are owning a budgerigar; deciding between mince with dumplings or a roast chicken dinner; and going shopping. The young men with learning disabilities who draw up their preferred shopping list travel to town unsupported, buy the food, come back and cook it and then eat it. It's important to take time to understand and know the person, their previous lives and past achievements, and to support people to develop things like ‘life story books'. If you treat people as equals, you can make sure they remain in control of what happens to them. (Edited publisher abstract)

Good communication can help people to maintain their dignity. It is vital that staff develop other ways of communicating with people who have a cognitive impairment or limited speech. This film provides an example of communicating with Matthew, a young man with Down's Syndrome Matthew is encouraged to use a diary so that he knows what he's going to be doing on any particular week. It's a good way for staff to find out what's been happening in Matthew's life. The film also shows how, for older people, past memories of being at the beach can be used as a useful communication tool. Communication in practice can mean asking people how they prefer to be addressed and to respect their wishes; giving people information about the service in advance and in a suitable format; and not assuming that you know what people want because of their culture, ability or any other factor.
