A New Activity for Walsall SUE
Walsall SUE is proud to announce that with effect from the 1st April 2011, we now offer Walsall people support with their Direct Payments.
A direct payment is given for people with agreed support needs to purchase a service for themselves instead of using an existing service.
For example, if a person uses a domiciliary care service (has one or more carers come to their house) they can opt to have a direct payment to employ a carer or carers themselves. This means you have much more control over who is caring for you. You can choose who you employ, and you can fire someone if they are unsuitable, although we hope it never comes to that.
Because employing someone is new to most people, we offer specialist support from people trained in employment law and resolving staff issues.
If you want to ask about Direct Payments please use our direct payments support line 01922 648500
