If your child is disabled, you may be entitled to get Direct Payments through your local authority.
The first step is to contact your local council and request an assessment. If the outcome is that the child is need of support, you will be given a personal budget.
The personal budget should cover employer’s national insurance, fees for payroll, pension costs and holiday pay.
If the child is already receiving support through the local council, but you would like to change to Direct Payment this is possible. It is up to you if you would like the council to take responsibility of the support or if you do (Direct Payments).
