Personal support is defined in the Law as: supervision, guidance, counselling (other than counselling that is health care) and other support in daily living that is provided to an individual as part of a programme of such support. Where support does not include elements of personal care (washing, dressing etc), but includes supporting a person in other aspects of daily living then this may be personal support. Personal support might include supporting a person to: Pay bills and manage finances Access the local community Prepare meals Clean their home Use public transport Attend appointments Take their medication This list is not definitive and personal care may also include the provision of supervision, guidance or counselling (not including counselling provided in a health care setting). The important point is whether the personal support is being delivered as a programme of support. In other words, whether it is formally planned.
