Finding the right provider

Before you get started with a new provider, it’s important to check the right credentials to make sure they’re right for you.

Below are the things you should consider before you get started with them.

• Are they DBS checked?
• Do they have the right insurance?
• Are they first-aid trained?
• Do they have a safeguarding policy?
• Are they trained in a specific area you need (e.g. trained to support specific disabilities or health conditions)?
