From the Code of Practice: ‘Care support available to help young people access social opportunities (for example, a personal assistant or assistive technology) and develop friendships, and how to apply for that support’
Is it this?:
‘Self-directed support, direct payments and personal assistants
Direct payments can often be used to access clubs, and you can hire a personal assistant to help you get involved with activities that you want to do and live more independently.
Our adult social care website has detailed information on self-directed support and direct payments and personal assistants.’
Is this where we should be talking about/linking to info on personal budgets as well?
