Make it personal with a Personal Assistant

A film about what it's like to have a personal assistant to support you if you have a disability or a mental health condition or are elderly. A personal assistant is a type of personalised support that someone can choose to have to help them do day to day things that they might struggle to do on their own. It could range from helping with household tasks, such as cleaning or cooking, to going out and about, shopping, visiting friends or playing sport. Watch the film for real stories, experiences and advice from individual employers and their personal assistants.
