What we learnt on the day and carers' views
Our recent event to discuss Direct payments was well attended and very informative. Parents discussed the pros and cons of using Direct Payments and heard about how some difficulties can be overcome and how carers in other parts of Wales were able to use them

Ever considered sharing Direct Payment hours to make them go further?
Direct payments can offer a great deal of flexibility but finding a Personal Assistant (PA) can be tricky and having enough hours to attract one can make things more difficult.
Together with the All Wales Forum of parents and carers we are hosting an event in person and online where you can learn more about how families across Wales have been creative in using hours in ways that open up more opportunities
The event is scheduled for 13th July at the Techniquest centre but you can join online using Zoom
