Direct Payments can be a really useful way of taking greater control over how your support is arranged and who provides it, but getting started can sometimes feel a bit complicated.

This session is a friendly introduction to Direct Payments, designed to help you understand what they are, who can have one, how they work and what your first steps might be.

We’ll explore:

• What a Direct Payment is and what it isn’t
• Who can access Direct Payments
• How Direct Payments can give you greater choice, control and flexibility
• What you can use a Direct Payment for
• Your responsibilities when managing a Direct Payment
• Common worries, questions and myths about Direct Payments

You’ll leave with a clearer picture of Direct Payments, some practical next steps, and ideas about where you can get further help and independent advice.
