Welcome to our page dedicated to people who receive direct payments. If you receive direct payments and arrange and purchase your own care and support through a personal assistant you are in fact an employer in your own right (often called micro – employers).
As an employer in the Health and Social Care sector you are entitled to all the help, advice and funding offered by the Suffolk Brokerage. Lots of information is contained on this website however you may find it more beneficial to talk to one of our team, either on the telephone or in person, to explain what assistance we can give you.
Some of the things we can help you with include:
Suffolk Independent Living is an independent service which can provide advice and support to people considering or using direct payments in Suffolk.
