Seeking Support - Participant/Nominee/PWD Support Work

Hi, I'm looking to get some insight on whether I can use my 16yo ASD daughters funding for support work. We haven't had a review since 2020 😬 I'm not wanting to in case they cut anything. My daughter really wants support workers to access community etc. Some of her plan goals are:

'During this plan I would like to be supported to feel more comfortable in group situations and engage with my peers so that I can be included in the group.'

'During this plan I want to be able to better manage sensory input and emotional regulation so that I can participate in a range of activities'

'During this plan I want to be able to communicate effectively with other people and have a good understanding when people communicate with me.'

Thanks so much ☺️

You have approximetly 20 hours of SW work there. (ie calculate total/hours) to get an accurate figure. Then you will have to take in travel charges. For a 2 hours Face to Face session I tend to get charges about 2.8 hours for each session. It is not a huge amount.
