About Us
Managing your support with LCiL
We can help with all aspects of self-directed support (SDS), including:
- preparing for an assessment
- providing independent information on all the SDS options available to people in receipt of care/support
- helping to organise and manage your support according to the choices you make – e.g.
- to use a particular service provider
- to use an agency
- to recruit and employ Personal Assistants (incl. help with recruitment, contracting, managing all aspects of payroll, managing Direct Payments (DP) finances)
- to purchase equipment
We can support and offer information to people who are exploring how to meet their individual outcomes via Independent Living Support (To find out more click here).
Learning and training opportunities available to:
- disabled people, people with long-term conditions, older people and carers
