Care for someone with autism?

Date: Wednesday, August 6th 2014
Categories: All Leicestershire Leicester Activities & Events

The National Autistic Society is running FREE information days to talk to carers and families of people on the autism spectrum about changes in adult social care.

Government reform of adult social care is focused on the ‘personalisation’ of support, and personal budgets, with the aim of empowering people to choose and control the services they receive. This will affect all those who receive support, whether they pay for it themselves or if it is provided by statutory services.

The information sharing day will cover community care (from the basics of what it is, to how it can be accessed) The Care Act, Person-Centred Planning, Support Planning, Personal Budgets, Personal Health Budgets, Direct Payments, and how personalisation can work for you and the person you care for.

The next family information sharing day near you will be on:

8th October 2014 at 10am (for a 10.30 start) until 2.30pm

At:
The Brite Centre
Braunstone Avenue
Leicester
LE3 1LE

Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
