Care Act will affect your care package and independent living.

The website also provides opportunity to sign up for email updates to the Handbook, along with an offer for ‘Taking Charge’, a guide which pulls together your 'rights' to a decent life, with choice and control, giving information on 'what you have a right to expect' from services, education and employment. The guide is intended to complement the
Disability Rights Handbook.
