L. D Partnership Board 22 nd January 2018 Carers Issues

LD Partnership Board 22 nd January 2018 Only one issue this time But it is really important one, and took up much of the time at our last meeting

LD Partnership Board 22 nd January 2018 It arose because of an issue raised by somebody who uses direct payments to buy their support. They had been challenged because they had used direct payments to pay for care support when they went to Centreparcs with the other people they live with. They had been told that this was not allowed because there was nothing in their care needs assessment that specifically said that this was OK.

LD Partnership Board 22 nd January 2018 We are aware that a lot of work is going on at the moment to tighten up on direct payments, and that in April there should be new local guidance. What worries us is this…The issue that started this discussion was all about whether a holiday for the young person was a ‘need’ or a ‘want’, and if the Council will not pay towards things that they consider to be ‘wants’, then the needs assessment process will become even more important in defining what is a ‘need’ and what is a ‘want’.

LD Partnership Board 22 nd January 2018 Those going through the assessment process will need to be alerted to the significance of the exact wording used to describe aspects of their lives with which they hope to get support. It prompts us to ask for a discussion about what are the needs that the Council considers it has to meet by law, and which they see as desirable but not their responsibility. As an example, is having a social life a ‘need’ or a ‘want’ ?
