KCIL SEND Team
I have worked at KCIL as a Direct Payment Team member for the past 15 years. My roles have changed over time. I enjoy being a part of the Direct Payment Team helping those in need. My job gives me a huge sense of achievement knowing that I can potentially make a positive change to someone’s life. I currently work as Direct Payment and SEN advisor. I support families with setting up a Personal Health Budget for children on Continuing Health Care. I also work closely with Achieving for Children supporting families who are in receipt of Direct Payments for respite. I have a wide knowledge about DP and all DP related issues so please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any support.
Before working for KCIL I worked for a housing charity for a number of years. I have always been interested in helping people get the help and support that they need.
I have been in my role at KCIL for nearly three years during which I have taken maternity leave to have my daughter who has a congenital hearing impediment so I have a personal interest in helping disabled people live as independently as possible as she may well need extra support as she grows up.
I am the monitoring officer, it is my job to ask those in receipt of direct payments for their bank statements and any invoices that show they are in receipt of the funds and that they are being used as agreed. I work closely with other members of our team so that we can identify any issues and they can be dealt with in a timely manner.
