Website - Toolkit to help people employ their own personal assistants- Skills for Care

If you employ your own PAs / care workers the following information from Skills for Care website might be of interest:
Toolkit to help people employ their own personal assistants
Skills for Care, together with Association for Real Change (ARC), has developed a toolkit to support people to employ their own personal assistants.
The toolkit helps small employers deal with the basic issues and legalities of employing their own staff, such as:
  • Employing a personal assistant.
  • Being a good employer.
  • Getting started.
  • Keeping your personal assistant.
  • Sorting out problems.
  • Additional resources.
Each section has a list of key questions and tasks, some 'essentials' and links to sources of help.
There are also templates available for some of the bits of paperwork you will need, available within the main document and as word documents on this webpage.
The toolkit is supported by Association for Real Change (ARC) and NAAPS.

Skills for Care has other products to support you...
