Peer
Support
A peer support scheme is a vital ingredient to the success of encouraging
more people to enjoy the freedom of independent living.
It is useful for PA employers to have an opportunity to discuss and share
experience. CILK provides this support at a local level as it enables individuals
to learn from each other but also to take a common approach to issues surrounding
being a PA employer or using direct payments. They can also discuss policy
and practice and influence this in an accountable way at a local level.
