| Annotation | Direct payments are an essential feature of independent living; however, take-up has been low in England, particularly among black and minority ethnic (BME) groups. This guide has been written with support from the National Centre for Independent Living (NCIL). It aims to offer creative and innovative examples of how the legislation of direct payments can successfully be applied to achieve positive outcomes for those who use them. It answers a range of questions through a series of examples, which have been captured by a practice survey undertaken by the Centre for Social Action at De Montfort University. The guide is designed to answer specific questions on direct payments easily, as well as to provide access to useful websites and give practice examples. It is hoped that the guide will inspire health and social care staff to embrace the principles of independent living and to think more freely in applying direct payments to a wider audience. (RH). |
