Direct Payment Board

What is a Direct Payment?

A direct payment is a way of managing your personal budget. They are a cash payment provided to individuals who have been assessed by Adult Social Care, as needing care and support services under the Care Act 2014.

Working together our aim is to improve the direct payment offer in Telford and Wrekin. The Direct Payment Board has representatives who use Direct Payments to source their care and support, Carers (unpaid) who manage direct payments on the behalf of others to source care and support as well as representation from Adult Social Care’s Direct Payment, Finance, Social Work and Co-Production teams.

If you have a direct payment and would like to get involved in co-producing the improvements, please complete the ‘register your interest’ form or contact the Co-Production team for support.
