Pre-course preparation

1. Remind yourself about any Direct Payments recipients that you have worked with so you can share their & your experiences during the session

2. Have a look at the Direct Payments toolkit:
    http://intranet/content/communitycare/sections/toolkit/Individual%20Pages/Direct_Payments.htm

It contains the main DP practice guidance that covers national and local policy for DP. It also has other useful documents such as a step-by-step DP set up guide and guideline DP rates.

3. Watch this video: https://youtu.be/fDybiVXILxY

4. Have a read of (some of) Chapter 12 ‘Direct Payments’ of the Care & Support Statutory Guidance

Around 6 weeks after the session you will get the opportunity to reflect on your learning and will be sent a short questionnaire to complete. This is in the same format as the unstructured CPD log for Social Work England. Therefore in reflecting on your learning, you will also have content ready to paste into your CPD log for SWE!

The session will focus on Direct payments and our statutory duty to provide Direct Payments under the Care Act 2014. We will consider the benefits of a direct payment for adults, carers, professionals and the Local Authority as well as the challenges that may be experienced. A direct payment recipient will tell you about how it helps them to live a good life. We will explore the role of the Support Agencies and the logistics of setting up a direct payment. Denise Swain will be available to answer any questions that you have about setting up the finances.

· Explain how Direct Payments are in line with the principles and requirements of the Care Act 2014 and can support personalisation and wellbeing outcomes
