Webinar: Direct Payments – too risky to champion?

Direct Payments provide choice and control, but can come with risks – both perceived and real. In this webinar, we explored the ways we can balance risk while supporting people to live their life their way.

You will:
 

• Hear from a Direct Payment recipient from the National Co-production Advisory Group about why practitioners’ approaches to balancing risk and empowerment are important to them and how they can affect a person’s life
• Hear perspectives of safeguarding leads working to support frontline practitioners
• Learn about how risks arising from the personalisation of care and support manifest in people’s lives
• Consider the impact of risk management on the care and support that people receive – particularly in the context of Direct Payments, employing and managing Personal Assistants and contracting with self-employed workers
