Course details

More about this course
  • Disabled people can now receive funding from their local authority to employ a personal assistant. While this gives them more personalised care in their own home, it also turns them into an employer.
  • This online course explores the role of personal assistance, and the risks and opportunities associated with it.
  • The course will encourage you to discuss ways to avoid and/or manage personal conflicts, whether you're a disabled person or a personal assistant. It's based on new evidence about the close working relationship between disabled people and their support workers - and how to improve it.
