Our #toptip this Tuesday is to consider going #paperless! As a business, you legally need to keep your records for 6 years. However, these don’t need to be physical copies - they can be saved on an appropriate storage system/accounting software & the paper copies can be shredded.

Your #localauthority has a legal responsibility to offer you a #directpayment if: - You ask for one. - You have eligible #socialcare needs. - You can make decisions for yourself. - You can manage a direct payment alone or with help. - It will help to meet your eligible needs.
