A new service has been set up to support adults and children in Sheffield who
receive a direct payment and “want to get the most out of their care money and achieve their goals”.
It is run by Penderels Trust and funded by Sheffield City Council. The Direct Payment Support Service includes:
- Support with setting up your direct payment
- Support when recruiting a personal assistant
- Guidance on all aspects of being a good employer including legal obligations
and responsibilities - Support with choosing and using a care agency
- Help with keeping accurate records
Organisations can complete a referral form or Penderels will take an email from someone and then help people to fill in the referral form to self refer and make sure they have all the info required.
