In England but your explanation helped understanding the fragmented knowledge I had around this subject

Hi Jenny thanks for your brilliant video. I think you've managed to explain Self Directed Support really clearly. Many of my customers get incredibly confused by the whole thing and when they ask the Local Authority about it they come away even more confused, which is such a shame. I hope its OK, I've now shared your video to help others 😊
