An informative webinar series across four weeks, guiding case managers through the process of setting up and managing support packages for our clients. Sessions will include tips, hints and information about topics such as considering agency versus direct employment, record keeping and managing employment issues. Of particular interest to case managers will be the session on CQC compliance and how to navigate the process both during the initial set up and on an ongoing basis. The series will be wrapped up with two presentations from two families of service users exploring their lived experience of having support workers in the family home and what we might need to consider.
