Pooling Direct Payments event

Ever considered sharing Direct Payment hours to make them go further?

Direct payments can offer a great deal of flexibility but finding a Personal Assistant (PA) can be tricky and having enough hours to attract one can make things more difficult.

Together with the All Wales Forum of parents and carers we are hosting an event in person and online where you can learn more about how families across Wales have been creative in using hours in ways that open up more opportunities

The event is scheduled for 13th July at the Techniquest centre but you can join online using Zoom

Impact of the Coronavirus Act on carers’ rights under the Social Services and Well-being Act 2014

Carers rights and provision During the Covid crisis

Impact of the Coronavirus Act on carers’ rights under the Social Services and Well-being Act 2014

Impact of the Coronavirus Act on carers’ rights under the Social Services and Well-being Act 2014

The Social Services and Well-being Act 2014 gives carers the same rights to care and support as those in their care. The Coronavirus Act will help local authorities to manage the pressures on our care system.

It is important to know that the Coronavirus Act is not intended to weaken the rights of carers in Wales. Local authorities must continue to maintain the rights of carers under the 2014 Act  as much as possible. The Coronavirus Act does not allow local authorities to block, restrict or withdraw whole services.
