Personal Assistants are vital.
They support people to lead independent lives.
In our feedback sessions, PAs have said “they often feel alone“. These pages have information for Personal Assistants and Employers.
Personal Assistants should feel as supported as the people they care for.
That’s why these pages have:
✅ Clear guidance: We’re creating easy-to-access resources so PAs know exactly where to go for support.
✅ Safe spaces: We’re building channels where PAs can raise concerns without fear.
✅ Peer support: We’re connecting PAs with each other, so no one feels alone in their role.
✅ Training and development: We’re offering opportunities for PAs to grow their skills and confidence.
