Clients who receive Direct Payments or Self Directed Support -
Using an agency is a route that many people in receipt of Direct Payments or Individual Budgets for Self Directed Care opt for in order to avoid the responsibility of fully employing a personal support worker or assistant, which involves making PAYE deductions and brings other employment responsibilities. It also means that should the main support worker be ill or unavailable, an alternative trained PVG screened and enhanced disclosure Scotland checked person is supplied.
It is likely that an assessment of need will have been conducted by Social Services
