This guidance helps people who buy care and support through a direct payment to know how and when they can use the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) to furlough employees during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. It covers a whole range of practical situations, including: when a PA or carer needs to shield; when a PA lives with somebody who needs to shield; when a PA or carer has caring responsibilities; and using the CJRS if the direct payment holder does not want their PA entering their home at this time. The guidance includes examples of when direct payment holders may or may not choose to use the CJRS. [Published 8 June 2020. Last updated 10 June 2020] (Edited publisher abstract)
