2
00:00:03.100 --> 00:00:07.100
Personal assistance or PA is 
where disabled people living 

3
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:12.000
in the community are supported 
by workers who they employ directly.

4
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.500
Usually, the disabled person is 
funded by their local authority 

5
00:00:15.500 --> 00:00:20.200
to pay their workers themselves.
PA is not the same as care. 

6
00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:23.200
It’s about Independent Living.

7
00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:27.000
On this course, you will learn
all about PA. Our training is

8
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:31.500
suitable whether you are a disabled 
person, wanting to employ workers, 

9
00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:35.200
or a care worker, wanting to work 
as a personal assistant.  

10
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:40.100
How is PA different from care?
How can PA relationships be

11
00:00:40.100 --> 00:00:44.200
conducted safely and professionally?
We’ve done the research with 

12
0:00:44.200 --> 00:00:49.200
disabled people and their personal 
assistants to work out how PA can 

13
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:54.000
be operated better. We’ve developed 
this training in association with

14
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:59.800
disabled people’s organisations to 
support successful Independent Living.
