<p>This tool has been written for 3 reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li>To
help people with disability to talk about their own money.</li>
<li>To
tell people where to get help if somebody is not using their money in the
right way.</li>
<li>To
help people who want to help people with disability know what questions to
ask.</li>
</ol>
<p>Support workers and other people, such as trusted friends or neighbours,
can use this tool to help people with disability. The tool can also be used by
workers whose job it is to help people whose money is not being used in the
right way.</p>
<p>Sometimes when people don’t use your money in the right way it is family
violence. If people are not using your money in the right way there might be
other family violence happening too. Using these questions might help you to
think about whether somebody is not using your money in the right way. There
are people who think that not using your money in the right way is OK. It is
not OK and you should know that there are things to do and people who can help
to stop it from happening.</p>

experts who contributed so generously during the focus groups and afterwards.</p>
