We have been in the lucky position of being awarded direct payments for our son (4yrs) - but haven't really been told what they are for / how they can be used!
One part is for activities which is fine, he will benefit from swimming lessons and we couldn't afford them before...
The other is for PA / 1:1 care....but he is with us 24/7. Can this be used for a babysitter so we can have an hour or so off a week? Or should we be looking to organise time out the house for him with a carer ( that makes me anxious!)
