About Direct Payments

Direct payments are available from Local Authorities for people who have a care and
support plan in place following a social care assessment. An amount of money is
allocated to purchase the assistance and care needed to live independently.
I should stress that I will be your employer and have full responsibility for
recruitment, contracts, supervision, pay, training etc. A support service assists me in
meeting my responsibilities as an employer.
