Dudley Council’s half day training course, Safeguarding Raising Awareness, is available to all PAs free of charge.
Mandatory half day child protection training is also free, and must be taken up by PAs working in households where there are children under 16.
All other courses incur a charge for service users.
PAs and people receiving direct payments took part in consultation on barriers to recruitment in February this year. One issue to arise is the lack of support, and isolation faced by PAs. The idea of setting up a PA network is now being explored.
