Jacky works for 'Access Social Care'- an organisation which provides free legal advice to people with social care needs, helping to achieve a better quality of life. In her work role, Jacky supports parents, carers and young people who are planning for adulthood to understand their options and to uphold their rights. Jacky is also parent and carer to a young man who is autistic, and has a learning disability. Jacky's own lived experience enables her to support other young people and those who care for them. In this video, Jacky reflects on the different narratives she encounters from Children's services practitioners, and Adult services practitioners.

I really don't understand why. Children's tell parents that um. You know, it's, it's really difficult in adults and it'll be like falling off a cliff, and children's adults say, oh we're not like children's, you know, we help the children, you know, your your young adult to be independent and you know, it's just like actually. There's not that much

I mean it's like. I don't know why it within the services, there's this. Difference of opinion, um, and that they're not properly just trying to work together

They seem to both sides seem to criticise the other side. What's that about?.
