DIY Case Management
We understand that following a catastrophic injury you may need the assistance of a personal care team. Some individuals may wish to employ their care teams directly. You may not be able to afford the services of a Case Manager. This section offers practical advice for Case Managers and patient relatives or individuals who wish to manage their own package of care in England and Wales. Please follow the links to the advice sheets and guidelines provided on other relevant websites which are full of useful information that guide you through the pitfalls of Employment Law, Health & Safety Legislation and the NCSC Regulations. All our advice sheets have been designed to be user friendly without complicated jargon. Links are embedded within the on-line text direct to the information sites for convenience. Text access for screen readers for the visually impaired has been enabled in all our pdf files. If you have any problems accessing any part of our site please contact customer services.
First things first
The first thing you need to do is register with the Inland Revenue as an employer or on behalf of the employer. The Inland Revenue will issue you with an Employer's Tax Reference Number which you will use to make National Insurance and PAYE payments. Full guidance and information can be found by clicking here. By Law you must have Employer's Liability Insurance cover.
Recruitment
The way you advertise and recruit your staff is governed by laws. For our fact sheet on recruitment guidelines click here. The Equal Opportunities Commission have a website packed with useful information essential to helping you become an equal opportunities employer. Any questions about employee disputes, grievances, dissmissals or any employment related issue should be checked through acas for advice first.
