Purpose

The updated Direct Payments Policy for
children and adults shows the county council’s commitment to
helping people have more say over their care. By using Direct
Payments, individuals can make their own choices and manage their
care in a way that suits them, giving them more independence and
control.
 
This is deemed to be a Key Decision, and the
requirements of the council's Cabinet procedure rules (Standing
Order C18, Consideration of Key Decisions) have been complied
with.
