Whenever money is handled for a service user, the home care worker is placed in a position of trust, even if it is just a one-off occasion. In the vast majority of cases, there are no problems but, even in the best relationships, misunderstandings can occur or the unexpected can happen. This guide covers some of the key issues to consider when handling other people's money. It contains chapters on: procedures, financial transactions, responding to financial abuse, self-employed or directly employed careworkers, security and insurance, helping service users with their finances, gifts, wills and bequests, service users who are unable to manage their financial affairs, and collecting charges.
