Overview of support for adults

Manchester City Council will review your support plan regularly, especially if your circumstances change.

We need to make sure you are getting what you need and what you are paying for. For example: 

• you have a right to be treated politely and with dignity.
• you have a right to privacy for yourself, and your relatives and friends when they visit.
• you have a right to deal with your own finances and spend your money in the way you choose.
• you have a right to express your views.
• you have a right to eat food that is prepared in line with your faith, and to worship when and where you want to.
• you have a right to choose the food that you eat and be given the time and space to relax and enjoy your meal.
• you have a right to be involved in activities such as work, education and parenting.
• you have a right to get up in the mornings and go to bed at night when you choose. 
• you have a right to relationships, including intimate relationships
• you have a right to complain if you are not happy with the care you get.
