"Informational poster titled ‘EAST SUSSEX CORE EMPLOYMENT SUPPORT SERVICE’ describing the free advice and guidance offered by Independent Lives to people in East Sussex who use Direct Payments (DP) and employ Personal Assistants (PAs). Support is available via phone, email, online chat, or home visits, covering budgeting, insurance, payroll, DBS checks, recruitment, training, employment law, and more. The poster lists the East Sussex team members, outlines their commitment to delivering a friendly, professional, and supportive service, and includes customer testimonials. It provides examples of situations where advice should be sought—such as using self-employed workers without guidance, lacking key legal requirements (employers’ liability insurance, payroll, contracts), staff performance issues, changes to DP funding, budget shortfalls, or disputes with staff. Additional support includes planning for holidays, sickness, and maternity leave, arranging respite care, and budgeting for 24-hour or night support. Contact details: 01903 219482 (option 3) and advice@independentlives.org, plus the PA Pages website for resources and training.
