This section aims to explain Supporting People from the service user point of view and is intended to be as free from ‘jargon’ as possible.  If you would like greater detail on legislation and guidance driving the Supporting People Programme in Scotland visit the Scottish Executive Supporting People web site. 

England, Wales and Northern Ireland also have websites dedicated to Supporting People, however due to devolved powers, legislation and guidance does differ from that which applies to Scotland.

The following topics are covered here:

What does Supporting People mean for me?
How do I qualify?
How do I get help - and what will it cost?
