If you employ PAs (with a DP or self fund) you can apply to @skillsforcare to fund training for you as an employer or for your PAs. 31st March deadline so you still have time. They cover all costs including replacement care so it's worth taking a look 👇

Please reply to Bristol, who are considering often placing disabled people with care needs > cost of a care home in a care home, instead living at home with PAs.
This is not OK, please reply to this consultation, even if you don't live in Bristol

Do you work for a company where a private owner wants to retire?
Or where a large company wants to sell or close part of its operation?
Do you as employees want to take over an existing business or service?
We could help you do that buff.ly/46lKhRz
