Direct payments (adult social care)
What to do next
If you are interested in a direct payment speak with your Social Worker
If you want more information call us on 0191 427 1717 or email LetsTalk@southtyneside.gov.uk
Once we've agreed the care you need, one of our advisers will visit you at home to talk through the scheme and guide you through setting it up if you decide a direct payment is for you.
An adviser can provide you with:
- initial information
- employer information
- help with paperwork
- a contact for a payroll service if required
- leaflets and fact sheets giving more information
- access to support groups of young people/ families in a similar situation to your own, which you will be invited to
