Darlington Association on Disability - Direct Payments Support Service
Direct Payments are a way of getting more choice and control over the support you are assessed as needing from Adult Social Services, Children’s Services, a Personal Health Budget or a Direct Payment as part of an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan in Darlington and Redcar & Cleveland
Our Direct Payments Support Service assists people to look at options and provides a range of support when using or thinking about using a Direct Payment.
We offer:
- individual support to look at how you might use a Direct Payment.
- support if you choose to employ your own personal assistants and support workers, including a full payroll service and recruiting and advertising support.
- peer support groups and user involvement forum.
- a self directed support and direct payments webpage will keep you up to date with changes.
- advice and support help line.
- support to help you manage your Direct Payment financially.
We also provide support for people who pay for their own support, live outside Darlington, or receive a personal health budget.
