Hey @Buttercup27. A warm welcome to Scope's forum. It is great to see you have joined us. How are you at the moment?
In terms of looking for a P.A. for your child, does your child have special educational needs and disabilities or just general needs?
Often, with special educational needs and disabilities, your local council would be the best first point of contact. However, if general needs, you might be better off looking for a private childminder etc.
I hope this helps but please do not hesitate to ask away if you have any further questions or if there's anything else we can do to support you1 -
Hi I have tried the council but I'm not getting anywhere so I thought I would ask on here Im really struggling with my child who has Autism at the moment I get Direct Payments from the council but have no P.A, I have tried the advertising agencys but im not getting no where so if you can help further much appreciated
Thanks 😊

I don't think asking on a forum is the best idea because we don't know the area you live or anything about your childs needs. I do know it's not easy for anyone to find a PA and even more so if you just want a few hours each week.By employing a PA yourself then you will need to make sure you have liability insurance just incase anything happens to the PA whist at work. There's some advice here on employing a PA. https://www.scope.org.uk/advice-and-support/employing-personal-assistant-legally/You maybe better going down the care agency route to see if they can help in anyway.

Hello @Buttercup27
Welcome to the community! I hope you are well today?
I see L and Poppy have advised private childminders and maybe asking down the care route. I would also suggest reaching out to your GP Surgery as they may know of a few people or agency to recommend0
