Direct experience:
A guide for councils on the implementation of Direct Payments
in children's services
LENEHAN, Christine

Book
Direct payments to parents of disabled children and to 16 and 17
year old disabled young people in their own right, form a key part
of the government’s strategy for supporting families.
This guide is based on the experience of 13 councils who met
with CDC over an 18-month period. It details their experiences,
concerns, developments and successes. The guide looks at the
reality of implementing direct payments services within a
children’s legislative context.
It will be useful for all councils working with direct payments,
children’s disability services and the advice and advocacy services
that support them.
