It explains about the changes with who has power over services and the money that pays for them, and how these changes should provide people with the power to make their own choices and live their lives in their own way. It describes how direct payment can be used to buy support directly. It also explains that people who don’t want to deal with their own money directly are still able to tell social services how they want their support money spent. The DVD describes the story of a young woman stuck in a dead-end job and how she manages to get choice and control in her life.

This DVD asks viewers to consider their physical health, mental health and aspects of their life style that contribute in good or bad ways to both of these. It advocates regular physical health checks and the creation of a personal health action plan as part of a personalised and joined up service. It also describes the role of 'health facilitators', who can be friends, relatives or another trusted individual, to act as a broker between health services and a person with learning disabilities. These services are explicitly connected to the UK government's Valuing People plan to improve the lives of people with learning disabilities, their families and carers.
