What is Continence?

In plain English

Support and equipment, funded where reasonable and necessary, to manage bladder and bowel needs related to disability.

Continence supports can include an assessment by a continence nurse or occupational therapist, and consumables or equipment such as pads or specialised aids. Good continence support protects health, dignity and participation, and often needs a professional assessment to get the right products. It is a practical, high impact area that is easy to overlook when planning a budget.
